Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has entered into a long-term partnership with Salling Group to promote sustainability, introduce new technologies, and enhance the organization’s operational efficiency. This partnership will involve Salling Group’s 2,100 stores and 68,000 employees in Denmark, Poland, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. This includes brands such as BR, a toy store chain, fast-food restaurants like Carl’s Jr. and Starbucks, and grocery stores such as føtex, Bilka, Netto, and RIMI Baltic.
As part of the partnership, TCS will assist the Salling Group in leveraging cloud technology to enhance their operations, making them more environmentally friendly. TCS will also help upgrade Salling’s online shopping platform to better meet the changing demands of customers.
