Cover Story: Ordering groceries online for home delivery has witnessed considerable growth and supply side investment by retailers. The predominant mode of order fulfilment in the UK relies on local stores. Orders are fulfilled from a store that is proximate to the delivery address. Retailers must determine the service area over which each store will provide delivery, balancing consumer demand with store-level capacity and the costs and constraints associated with ‘last mile’ order fulfilment. With rare access to commercial data from Sainsbury’s, the second largest grocer in Great Britain, this paper uncovers local geographical variations in order fulfilment and delivery capacity. Analysis highlights geographical variations in order fulfilment capacity and barriers to further cost-effective expansion of delivery coverage. View this paper
