Albertsons plans to increase automation in its distribution centers.

Albertsons plans to automate 30% of its distribution volume by the end of 2025, according to CEO Vivek Sankaran. The company has completed automation at three of its 22 distribution centers and aims to implement a new warehouse management system by 2026. These initiatives are intended to enhance supply chain efficiency and reduce costs while improving data analytics. Additionally, Albertsons is focusing on boosting its e-commerce capabilities, reporting a 7% penetration of grocery revenue from online sales, but acknowledges there is still potential for growth and improvement.
