Ocado Smart Platform vs Rologi Automation Suite

Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) is a modular system for grocery retailers that combines ecommerce, supply chain, fulfilment, and last-mile delivery capabilities. Retailers can adopt it as an integrated platform or select components to extend existing systems. Ecommerce tools support configurable, brand-tailored shopping with recommendations, search, promotions, and subscriptions across web, mobile web, apps, and tablets. With Ocado’s densely packed Customer Fulfilment Centre, a webshop can offer more than 50,000 items. Fulfilment ranges from software-only manual operations to hybrid and fully automated models. Delivery options include home delivery, store or locker click and collect, unattended doorstep delivery, and aggregator-integrated missions. Last Mile supports scheduled shops of six hours or more, same-day shops from one to six hours, and shops under 60 minutes from stores and aggregator integrations. Supply Chain uses AI-driven forecasting, ordering, and fulfilment tools. Ocado reports more than 70 million supply-chain calculations per day across stock, orders, product life, and fulfilment capacity. Partners receive dedicated expert teams and ongoing support.

Rologi Automation Suite (RAS) is a cloud platform for warehouse operations teams managing automation. It connects hardware from different vendors to business systems, with an API layer connecting to ERP, WMS, e-commerce, and TMS. Supported automation includes ASRS, AMR, AGV, shuttles, vertical lifts, and robotic picking. One adapter per technology supports multiple grids and warehouses from a single instance. RAS coordinates real-time tasks across automation types, including workload balancing, order batching, and route optimization. Listed workflows span guided inbound putaway, single- and multi-order picking, staging and buffering, expedition routing, cycle counting, and stock validation. Operator tools include workstation interfaces, stock allocation, performance monitoring, and real-time alerts. Dashboards cover utilization, availability, and throughput, alongside stock prediction and demand forecasting. The platform lists native support for scanners, cameras, and pick-by-light. Its native WMS layer is in development, though customers can connect an existing WMS through the integration hub. Rologi describes RAS as cloud-native, with automatic scaling and no on-premises infrastructure. Pricing is on request, with fees set out in an applicable order form.
