Isn't it strange how everyone misses your point?

Us longs like Ocado because it's made us a lot of money, maybe one day you'll make a few bob also

Amazon have no qualms about multiple income streams, it all goes into the same pot at the end of the day

Your words not mine by the way "OSP makes a thumping great loss" How exactly ?

Looks a bit odd to me and again this morning so far

It amazes you can come up with a p&l for the OSP when it's not even generating any revenues yet? We are talking about the modular warehouse at Andover aren't we which houses the OSP and hasn't made a single sale as yet?

I reiterate my question, how does the smart platform lose money, your earlier post doesn't answer the question?

"my figures which prove the CFC's including Smart Platform lose money" Tell me how the Smart Platform loses money again I must have missed this bit ?

I'd assume Geoff will cover in the interim period, there's no one else as far as I know

How can you say CFC3 is making a loss when it's not even open yet?

Your £3 estimate for the SP this week looks dead in the water so far, I'll give you until Friday though to be fair

Pleased you've left your magic carpet at home today, remember the saying "Profit is sanity" and profits were up 65% last year, estimates are a 42% increase for 2016 (excluding any international deals)

Not sure why they didn't post that notification on here?

I've asked for an update regards Andover, if I get one I'll post it on here as before

Had a reply from IR regards the Ocado fleet as follows:- "We operate a fleet of around 1,300 vans - these are all 3.5 tonnes (gross) weight Mercedes sprinter vans which run on diesel and have been optimised for fuel consumption. Even at the peak of fuel prices a few years ago, fuel costs made up less than 2% of our sales. Also note that there is a tax shield on fuel costs which works both ways, in a rising and falling fuel cost environment. Also note that changes in oil prices are no 100% passed through to fuel costs. We have in the past and continue to try keep our fuel costs low by increasing fuel efficiency of the vans, improving routing systems, reducing travel distances and increasing deliveries per van route. Our leading edge, in-house routing system enables us to minimise road mileage and take full advantage of the payload available by making over 3 million routing calculations per second, finding the most efficient delivery routes. Working with our body constructor Paneltex for many years, we have increased the payload of our 3.5 tonnes sprinter van fleet by 41%. We also offer our customers the option to choose a 'green' van slot – if we are delivering in an area at a particular time, we can advise at the time of booking, enabling customers to choose an adjacent time slot – thereby minimising drive time and fuel use for deliveries" So that's straight from the horses mouth as it were

I posted a message to Admin about this page been missing, not sure whether or not that prompted them to set it up?

I think Boris has no idea what he's talking about, the set up at Dordon beats the Kiva system hands down and it's now out of date! Not only have Ocado disrupted themselves they're probably working on the next project to disrupt their Hive system and they've still to open Andover yet.

About time, well done on getting the first post in :)

Are you comparing Amazon Kiva system to Ocado Hive system ? I certainly hope not !

When you descend to comments like that you're showing yourself up and lose the argument, I thought you of all posters would want to see facts like how many Mercedes electric vans Ocado have in their fleet or even the bio-diesel vehicles? The post Bosisrus made implies that all the vans run on diesel which sounds like he just posted without knowing I've e-mailed Ocado to get a breakdown of the current fleet and their fuel usage for the record, will let you know when I have it (if they reply)
