This case study outlines how Kesko modernized urban grocery fulfillment by implementing a micro‑fulfillment center powered by an AutoStore system developed by Dematic. Operating nearly 1,800 stores across multiple European countries, including more than 1,200 grocery locations, Kesko needed a scalable and efficient solution to meet growing demand for fast, urban fulfillment. The automated system enabled higher throughput, improved picking efficiency, and better use of space while supporting fresh food handling requirements. By integrating automation into its grocery operations, Kesko increased volume capacity, reduced manual processes, and enhanced service levels, helping the retailer deliver a faster, more reliable shopping experience across its urban grocery network.
