Amazon has launched its Dash Button product in the UK, allowing customers to reorder everyday essential products with the press of a Wi-Fi connected button. The Dash Button is available for dozens of brands through Amazon's Prime membership. It aims to make replenishing supplies effortless by allowing people to press a button placed near items when they start to run low. Amazon has also launched a Dash Replenishment Service for connected devices to automatically reorder goods through Amazon's APIs. The Dash Button programme has seen strong growth in the US with orders increasing rapidly since its launch there last year.
1) Technology and changing tastes/lifestyles have intensified competition in the retail industry. Retailers are using technology and data to improve customer service while also meeting demand for healthier products.
2) Economic pressures have divided customers into those seeking low prices and those willing to pay more for quality. Retailers are targeting both segments by developing own brands at different price points.
3) High information access and bargaining power has led to price wars, forcing down unit prices in many retail segments in the UK market. Retailers are focusing on convenience and value-added services to differentiate themselves.
eCommerce appetite and adoption is at an all-time high.
If there was ever any uncertainty as to whether there was sufficient demand for grocery eCommerce, new research has put an end to any doubts, and has provided answers to the question that’s currently top of all retailers’ minds: Should we be selling our products online?
Mercatus has released the results from a survey conducted in the first quarter of 2016 in a brand new report entitled “Insights into Grocery eCommerce 2016”.
Among the key findings in the report:
Your customers, regardless of age, are online, consider themselves to be technologically savvy, and are making more digital purchases than ever before.
Consumers are willing to order groceries from locations other than their favorite store for the convenience of click-and-collect shopping.
1. One third of shoppers in the US will order groceries online in 2017, up from 19% in 2016 and 8% in 2015, showing rapid growth in online grocery shopping.
2. Retention rates for online grocery shopping are high, with 80% of those who tried it in 2016 planning to use it again in 2017. Once shoppers try online grocery shopping they tend to continue using it.
3. Grocery retailers need to offer online grocery shopping to remain competitive as it will determine if they grow or lose market share. The quality of the online shopping experience can influence shoppers' decisions about where to shop.

Nielsen global connected commerce report january 2017clara lila
The document discusses online grocery shopping trends globally. It finds that while durable categories like fashion and travel dominate online purchases currently, consumable categories like personal care, meal kits, and packaged groceries are growing in popularity. Fresh groceries have more barriers to online adoption. Innovative fulfillment options beyond just home delivery, like curbside pickup, could help drive more online grocery shopping. Data from France shows alternative fulfillment there has helped drive strong growth in edible categories like cheese and yogurt being purchased online.

Do or Die: Retail Imperatives for Globalization, Personalization and Localiza...Deborah Weinswig
This document discusses trends in the global retail and technology industry. It notes that consumers are driving retailers and technology companies to globalize, personalize, and localize their offerings. The macroeconomic environment in key markets like the US is slowing, while online grocery is poised to boom with more players entering the market. Increased price competition from discounters and online channels is squeezing grocery margins further.

Competitive data on assortments, prices and promotions across retailers helps brands and retailers optimize their digital shelf management.
The document discusses the importance of reverse logistics for e-commerce businesses. It notes that retail e-commerce sales in the US increased significantly from 2009 to 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Posterscope: Supermarket Peep: A Glimpse at UK Shopping Behaviours in the NowPosterscope
Analysis of major GB data sources for grocery retail illustrates the significant changes we have seen in shopping behaviour over the last 6 weeks. It demonstrates when these changes were most profound, where they were happening and indicates that in the most recent weeks that overall retail spend is starting to stabilise. This edition of Posterscope’ Now, Near, Next series looks at Shop in the Now, focussing on the retail winners and losers, the UK as a nation of baking and beer, the change to shopping locally and the need for advertising to be more aware of itself than ever.
the new retail ecosystem From disrupted to disruptor - startup Ian Beckett
This document discusses strategies that retailers can use to adapt to disruption from companies like Amazon. It summarizes 6 key strategies: pricing, fulfillment, loyalty, assortment, innovation, and platform. For pricing, it discusses how retailers like Walmart are using dynamic pricing tools. For fulfillment, it emphasizes the importance of speedy delivery options like in-store pickup. For loyalty, it highlights how Amazon and Starbucks cultivate loyal customers. The document advocates for retailers to utilize physical stores not just as showrooms but as distribution centers to enable faster shipping.
Amazon is changing retail through 7 main ways: 1) Explosive growth of Amazon Prime is driving more purchases, 2) Prime Now is redefining logistics through same-day delivery, and 3) Amazon Home Services has the potential to disrupt industries like furniture and appliances through product delivery and assembly services.
1) Ecommerce represents a small portion of current FMCG sales but is growing rapidly in many markets. It has the potential to account for over a quarter of global FMCG sales if online adoption increases.
2) Barriers like delivery costs are limiting ecommerce growth but retailers that adopt online strategies gain loyalty and additional revenue rather than losing existing sales.
3) Countries vary in their ecommerce penetration with leaders like South Korea at over 10% while most others are still under 5%; however, global growth rates are over 30% on average.
Amazon is considering launching a new grocery delivery service called Amazon Fresh. The key points from the document are:
1) The online grocery market is estimated to be $7 billion, but adoption rates are difficult to predict and will be the biggest challenge.
2) Profitability in online grocery is low due to intense competition and low grocery industry margins. Amazon Fresh would not be profitable for several years.
3) Top competitors include Walmart, Instacart, and traditional grocers moving online. Walmart and Instacart present the greatest threats due to price, delivery speed, and selection.
Click & Collect is an alternative online shopping model where customers order groceries online and pick them up from collection points. This helps address high delivery costs that have hindered online grocery shopping. Click & Collect cuts retailers' costs by 30% by avoiding home deliveries. It is also convenient for customers who don't have to wait at home for deliveries or schedule delivery windows. Grocery retailers can set up collection points at locations like stores, post offices, and transit stations to make pickup easy. Technology helps customers track orders and find collection points. Amazon's use of Click & Collect in the UK demonstrates how the model streamlines the online shopping experience.
This document provides a market view and analysis of the Greek supermarket and hypermarket sector for the years 2015 and January to April 2016. It finds that:
1) The value sales trend in supermarkets and hypermarkets was negative in 2015 and the first 4 months of 2016, with sales declining more sharply in 2016.
2) Medium sized supermarkets between 400-1000 square meters were the only store type to reverse the negative sales trend in 2016.
3) Most food categories saw declining sales in both units and value, while frozen and packaged foods were the only categories with growth.
4) Private label brands continued to lose market share in 2016, dropping to their lowest level since 2012.
Tesco is the third largest retailer worldwide operating over 6,900 stores globally. Founded in 1919 in London, England, Tesco has grown to become a multi-national corporation offering retail services across grocery, clothing, electronics and other products both online and in-store. Tesco aims to earn customer loyalty through competitive pricing, a wide selection of quality products, and loyalty programs. While facing challenges from competitors and market fluctuations, Tesco's large international presence and focus on technology and customer service have allowed it to maintain strength as a major global retailer.

Justin Basilico, Research/ Engineering Manager at Netflix at MLconf SF - 11/1...MLconf
Recommendations for Building Machine Learning Software: Building a real system that uses machine learning can be a difficult both in terms of the algorithmic and engineering challenges involved. In this talk, I will focus on the engineering side and discuss some of the practical lessons we’ve learned from years of developing the machine learning systems that power Netflix. I will go over what it takes to get machine learning working in a real-life feedback loop with our users and how that imposes different requirements and a different focus than doing machine learning only within a lab environment. This involves lessons around challenges such as where to place algorithmic components, how to handle distribution and parallelism, what kinds of modularity are useful, how to support both production experimentation, and how to test machine learning systems.
The document discusses several latest trends in the IT industry:
1) The mobile trend is driving customers and whole industries to invest in mobile applications and services to provide 24/7 access from any device.

Tesco has grown to become the largest supermarket chain in the UK through innovations in supply chain management. The company adopted lean principles from Toyota to reduce waste and implement just-in-time inventory practices. This included point-of-sale scanning, centralized ordering and distribution, and automated warehouse control.

Leading Trends in Retail Innovation by Brian SolisBrian Solis
This document discusses trends in retail innovation based on interviews with executives from leading retailers. It finds that retailers are engaging in five key strategies to stay ahead of disruption: 1) constantly mapping the customer journey to create seamless cross-channel experiences; 2) conducting in-depth consumer research; 3) prioritizing innovations that target connected consumers; 4) investing in formal innovation programs; and 5) cultivating necessary digital skills across the organization. While many retailers struggle to adapt, those that understand changing consumer behavior and make consistent investments in innovation will be better positioned to succeed in the evolving retail landscape.

Editor's Notes
‘IRI Companion Deck’ and ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ PowerPoint Templates
About the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ and the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ templates
These templates contain two full libraries of IRI slides, including charts, to be used by all IRI employees when presenting internally or externally using PowerPoint. In the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ you will find slides for management and general information content and a selection of our most popular graphics. In the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ you will find a more comprehensive library of charts to be used when presenting analysis and data to clients.
How should I use this PowerPoint deck?The key difference between the new companion deck and the former one is the addition of a master slides library that contains all the key slides that we need to use for consistency. The master slides have been designed in accordance with the new IRI corporate graphic guidelines.
So when you use this IRI PowerPoint deck, if you want to add slides, you can:
A. either copy and paste the slides from the normal presentation – what we have done up until now, but you have to be careful to not alter the style.
B. or please proceed as below:
Click ‘new slide’ on the top menu bar, then select an empty slide (the 5th one for normal or the 6th one for a slide with diagrams and graphs in ‘IRI Directly Usable Slides’) in the master templates library.
Then, go on this new slide and click on ‘Display’ on the top menu bar.
Select ‘Master Slides’ (5th option), select the slide template you want to add from the part 2.
Select and copy all the content (not the title).
Close the ‘Master Slides’ session button on the top right of the menu bar.
Go to your empty slide and paste.
This process works for master slides from part 2 of the master library, called ‘IRI Companion template library’. To add a new slide from part 1, called ‘IRI Directly Usable Templates’, you just have to go to ‘New Slides’ and select the slide you want to use.
Guidelines on fonts, types, sizes and positionsCorrect fonts, types, sizes and positions are already set up in each master slide. If you cannot find what you need please use the following options only:
Fonts: Verdana and dark grey (RGB references: 097/099/101)
Sizes:
Graphics, Diagrams and Position
Axis maximum in 10, but minimum 8.
Description in 10, but minimum in 8.
Position: please use only the marked content field (4 helplines) for graphics & diagrams.
Content and Position
11 is the standard - maximum 12, minimum 10.
The content always has to be set up into the content field.
Source and Position
Only 9, normal type (NO Bold, Italic, Underline).
Position: graphics have to be set up on the bottom left, like on the master slide ‘Basic slide w/o content field’.
Colours:Standard corporate colours are implemented in each master slide. If this is not the case, please follow the corporate colour palette (also described in point 5 in these guidelines):
Normal text: dark grey (RGB references: 097/099/101).

‘IRI Companion Deck’ and ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ PowerPoint Templates
About the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ and the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ templates
These templates contain two full libraries of IRI slides, including charts, to be used by all IRI employees when presenting internally or externally using PowerPoint. In the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ you will find slides for management and general information content and a selection of our most popular graphics. In the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ you will find a more comprehensive library of charts to be used when presenting analysis and data to clients.
How should I use this PowerPoint deck?The key difference between the new companion deck and the former one is the addition of a master slides library that contains all the key slides that we need to use for consistency. The master slides have been designed in accordance with the new IRI corporate graphic guidelines.
So when you use this IRI PowerPoint deck, if you want to add slides, you can:
A. either copy and paste the slides from the normal presentation – what we have done up until now, but you have to be careful to not alter the style.
B. or please proceed as below:
Click ‘new slide’ on the top menu bar, then select an empty slide (the 5th one for normal or the 6th one for a slide with diagrams and graphs in ‘IRI Directly Usable Slides’) in the master templates library.
Then, go on this new slide and click on ‘Display’ on the top menu bar.
Select ‘Master Slides’ (5th option), select the slide template you want to add from the part 2.
Select and copy all the content (not the title).
Close the ‘Master Slides’ session button on the top right of the menu bar.
Go to your empty slide and paste.
This process works for master slides from part 2 of the master library, called ‘IRI Companion template library’. To add a new slide from part 1, called ‘IRI Directly Usable Templates’, you just have to go to ‘New Slides’ and select the slide you want to use.
