Tata Consultancy Services has won a multi-year contract with Asda to support the British supermarket giant’s digital transformation, following its divestiture from Walmart.

TCS is expected to build a new digital core by implementing multiple cloud-based ERP platforms to streamline Asda’s supply chain forecasting, buying and merchandising processes, HR processes, warehouse management and e-commerce processes.

TCS will use its Machine First delivery model to automate the retailer’s IT operations and improve operational resilience.

Mohsin Issa, CEO, Asda, commented: “We have a long-term vision to grow Asda and bring our great heritage in value to even more communities – and our technology will form a key part of delivering this vision. We have partnered with TCS because they bring experience in retail technology transformation and innovation. We look forward to working with them to accelerate our digital transformation journey and to unlock the potential of our business.”

Carl Dawson, chief digital and technology officer, Asda, added: “We are confident that this collaboration with TCS will be one of the engines to deliver such a large technology transformation, where we are in the process of reimagining retail. TCS is going to bring together the cutting-edged technologies and help Asda employees and customers have a seamless experience.”
