Asda has postponed the transition of 55 stores to its new IT systems as it continues to move away from the tech infrastructure set up by Walmart after their sale in 2021. Internal communications revealed a decision to delay the planned cut-over, citing a pragmatic approach to ensure a smooth transition. Despite this setback, Asda successfully migrated several other stores to new systems. The company is taking a flexible approach to this migration process, balancing the needs of stakeholders while ensuring Project Future, their large-scale IT transformation, progresses as planned.
Asda is postponing the tech transition of 55 stores as it continues to transition systems from Walmart, who still provides IT support since the 2021 sale.
An Asda spokesperson emphasized the progress of 'Project Future,' Europe's largest IT transformation program, highlighting recent migrations of hundreds of stores to new systems.
The flexible approach Asda now adopts for store migrations allows for successful transitions of 33 foundation stores just before the planned January cut-over.
Conditional approval was granted to 64 smaller stores for a January 12 transition, contingent on the implementation of a successful Global Replenishment System fix.
