The Tesco Fulfilment operation is a recognized world leader across the retail industry in making sure that customers can always get the products they want whether in store or online. Within that, the OFS product domain is one of the key domains delivering Tesco’s online GHS (Grocery Home Shopping) platform, processing around1.5 million customer orders each week. OFS surfaces delivery options and makes decisions on how we fulfil both physical including Whoosh deliveries and Marketplace products; and digital products such as gift cards, mobile top-ups, or Clubcard reward vouchers. This is an amazing opportunity to deliver valuable impact at scale, by reducing our operating costs or to enable our ambitious growth plans through new propositions like online clothing.
