RE: Ocado warns Morrisons16 Sep 2015 17:27
One of the things I thought was lacking in the report was about adapting new technologies with the business, the thing that will impress me is if Potts has in mind a business to rival Ocado, not only for Morrsons but also for other clients, including other country's. If what I think Potts is planning, which has Ocado's worried, all I can say is wow! and fill your boots never to see these levels again.
I suggest using smart IOT energy efficient MIPS processors with open source software which would cost a fraction of what is being paid now, it's never to late to go it alone, without buying or using others technology.
While Morrisons may be be forced to get Ocado to provide it's services on some parts of the country as agreed, no one can make deal to prevent Morrisons from running a business simultaneously in other parts of the UK, and other country's. Ocado does not have monopoly, and Morrisons can make a legal challenge, maybe get an independent arbitration if the contract is unfair.
another idea is mrw can provide online shopping and customers simply going in the store and collecting the goods where staff has picked the goods and can be quickly collected from a collection point free of delivery charges.
This can change the dinamics of shopping in the UK.
All the best.
