Sedano's Supermarkets will launch an automated hyperlocal fulfillment center for e-commerce orders in partnership with Takeoff Technologies. The center will serve 14 Sedano's Supermarkets throughout Miami and offer consumers pickup services. Takeoff's objective is to develop fulfillment centers that have one-eighth the footprint of a typical supermarket with the help of robotics and compact vertical spaces. The company is currently working with five regional and national retail chains in the U.S. and has several sites in development to deploy in 2019.
"We are excited to partner with Takeoff at the forefront of this groundbreaking robotics solution," says Javier Herran, CMO for Sedano's. "This model gives us the ability to leap into the eGrocery industry, develop a new level of employment opportunities and continue meeting the needs of our valued consumers by offering an affordable and convenient online service."
