Ocado: Enabling 10x growth through global expansion
The Challenge
Exponential growth, driving expansion across the globe
Harnessing an innovative and creative culture
Speed of the essence – building new capabilities, fast
Create flexibility, not anarchy
Ocado is now the largest technology company in the UK. The business has sold its sophisticated delivery platform – known as the Ocado Smart Platform – to leading grocers across the world, marking their shift from UK online grocer, to global technology solutions provider. They needed an operating model that would support rapid growth while still retaining their innovative and unique culture. This had to deliver best-in-class solutions to their new grocery clients across the world.
The Results
Retailers with a combined revenue of £225bn have signed up for the Ocado Smart Platform
The new ways of working will support growth in four continents
Flexible operating model in place, able to evolve ahead of the market
10x
expanded global footprint
Ocado is constantly innovating. Arca Blanca matched this with an iterative design process, which was tailored to enhance collaborative thinking. We brought together a passionate team of clients and consultants, each bringing different expertise to build upon new ideas and opportunities. The operating model we co-designed is flexible and able to evolve fast to capture market opportunities, and deliver results sustainably. The business has an embedded capability that can review, rethink, and reinvent the business as it grows.

I can truly say, I have never worked with consultants like Arca Blanca before. They are so passionate about doing the right thing for the client and immediately operated as part of the Ocado team, going above and beyond anything in the contract to ensure success of both the transformation.
