''At Auchan, the digitalisation passes through the hypermarket. It is this anchoring in ‘brick and mortar’ stores that allows us to establish and maintain a close relationship with our customers and differentiates us from pure Internet platforms. New challenges are emerging for Auchan Luxembourg and Telindus clearly has a place at our side to meet these.''
ARNAUD PIERROT - DSI Auchan
Auchan in short
To carry out its IT transformation program, Auchan Luxembourg called on Telindus: strong technological integration capacity, highly secured datacenters, multidisciplinarity, quality of customer relations are all assets that convinced the retail group to rely on the leader of convergent ICT and telecom services in Luxembourg. As part of this program, Telindus experts are called upon to intervene at the level of purchasing central, logistics, hypermarkets and Auchan Drive, which involves meeting the needs of administrative tools, embedded solutions, customer relations, mobility and digital. It is Telindus’ ability to master these different technological knowhows and capacity to integrate them that makes it a valuable partner for Auchan Luxembourg. Since the launch of the program in 2015, around a hundred Telindus employees have been involved, from near and far, in the IT transformation of Auchan Luxembourg.
