Although Ocado is a retailer, the engineering department has 650 to 1000 engineers and has a high level of technical capability that is inevitable with the technology companies that stand side by side. The technical department has finished developing an end-to-end (E2E) management platform that comprehensively visualizes the work from upstream to downstream, such as product order receiving systems, fulfillment centers (product handling centers) and logistics,Public cloudWe are aiming to build an "automated warehouse" by running on the system.

Ocado has been thought to be that important matters that will fill the gap between the IT industry, but from the fact that the arm of good software engineers have been entered in Ocado, the overall look of the IT industry and other industry The walls are getting ruined. Clark said, "Computer science is the language of the digital economy, it is necessary to learn as a specialized field. To do this we need to ensure that children can handle the programming fluently," he says.
