In 2025, the division\u2019s net sales amounted to EUR 6.5 billion, and its comparable operating profit was EUR 418 million. Together, K-food stores and Kespro form an extensive grocery trade business.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cOur aim is to create a warehouse and technology foundation that evolves without the disruption traditionally associated with enterprise software upgrades, while also leveraging the transformative power of agentic AI to gain operational efficiencies and unlock previously unseen opportunities,\u201d commented Pekka Tala, Director Strategic Programs, Grocery Trade Logistics at Kesko.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\nThe significance of Kesko\u2019s decision extends beyond infrastructure, however, as retailers face increasingly fragmented consumer demands and rising expectations for rapid, reliable fulfilment. <i>\u201cIf you break an on-time-in-full promise, a customer will simply find an alternative, which sets the stakes high,\u201d Tala added.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cInitially covering five distribution centres, followed by a greenfield site (in 2029-30), plus a range of terminal hub operations, being able to interpret and act on operational signals in real time is key for us,\u201d finished Tala.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\nKesko expects to deploy Manhattan&#8217;s Wave Coordinator, Labour, and Warehouse Associate Agents while exploring additional purpose-built agents to support additional inbound operations with Agent Foundry.<\/p>\n<p><i>Sebastien Lefebure, Senior Vice President, EMEA at Manhattan continued: \u201cRetailers are increasingly viewing warehouse projects as an opportunity for competitive differentiation. This project represents more than the simple replacement of a legacy WMS; it is an opportunity to drive competitive advantage.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe continuous innovation delivered by Manhattan\u2019s cloud-native platform, coupled with the functional power of AI embedded in the execution layer of supply chains is increasingly becoming the benchmark against which next-generation supply chain platforms will be measured, and Kesko is at the forefront of the application of this technology in the Nordic grocery space,\u201d Lefebure finished.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>About Manhattan Associates<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.manh.com%2F&amp;esheet=54619955&amp;newsitemid=20261013706325&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Manhattan+Associates&amp;index=6&amp;md5=b401e4aec5838f5c99786ca86c021d8a\">Manhattan Associates<\/a> is a global technology leader, providing supply chain and omnichannel commerce solutions with unmatched AI capabilities.
