Asda is set to launch Salesforce technology as it looks to give a ‘360-degree view of its customers, providing personalised and tailored experiences that will revolutionise the consumer grocery experience”.
The Big 4 grocer said it would create a cloud-first environment that gives its customers ‘one connected and consistent experience across every channel and device’.
Furthermore, Asda’s new Salesforce technology will enable the grocer to deliver new online shopping experiences by building out its headless e-commerce architecture, enabling it to separate its front-end and back-end ecommerce applications.
