For the grocery trade, as for many other industries, e-commerce has been a clearly growing business in recent years and is becoming increasingly important for the major players in the market. But e-commerce also comes with major challenges when it comes to supply, delivery efficiency and quality and with it the importance of good and flexible system support in these critical processes. Rededge helped one of Sweden's largest players to implement new systems to support the investment in increasing e-commerce.
