Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a long-term deal with Denmark’s largest retailer, Salling Group, to improve organisational effectiveness, sustainability and digital innovation.
The Indian technology giant will deploy its AI-powered Cloud Exponence platform, which focuses on automating cloud operations with a machine-first approach. The platform also improves the relationship between humans and machines and provides security and compliance controls, as well as smart managed services across a hybrid cloud with great efficiency.
The partnership will span Salling Group’s 2,100 stores which have over 68,000 employees in Denmark, Poland, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
Salling Group owns and operates Bilka, føtex, Netto, and Salling department stores, which all offer clothing. They also have their own private label brands like Salling, Salling ØKO, Salling Fri, Salling Princip, Budget Levevis, and VRS, which can be found in Bilka and føtex. In Netto, they offer brands like Spir, Hello Sensitive, and Nemt. Salling Group also holds franchise rights for Hugo Boss in Denmark.
Vikram Sharma, Country Head, TCS Denmark stated that “Salling Group is a respected retail leader with a long history. We are delighted to support their growth using our global retail skills and technology.”
TCS will lead Salling Group’s cloud transformation journey with a focus on agility, scalability and environmental sustainability. A key part of the transformation journey will include an upgrade of Salling Group’s e-commerce platform to better react to fast changing consumer demands.
TCS has had a presence in Denmark for over 30 years and the company continues to operate in the Nordic area, catering to leading firms in banking, telecoms, insurance and hi-tech.
