Ocado’s Solutions Are Not Enough to Earn a Moat
Ocado Group offers exposure to the international e-grocery market. It began as a pure-play e-grocer in the UK and was the first mover in end-to-end automated fulfillment in groceries. In 2015, Ocado saw the opportunity to monetize its fulfillment solutions and began selling the Ocado Smart Platform to other grocers. In 2019, Ocado sold 50% of its e-grocery business, Ocado Retail, to Marks & Spencer. Ocado operates under two segments: solutions, encompassing the Ocado Smart Platform, and logistics, which operates in the UK. Ocado is in the early stages of deploying its technology beyond the e-grocery vertical.
