We're always looking to improve our customers' shopping experience in any way we can. In fact that's why we're investing in IT systems specifically designed around them. Our in-house IT team are constantly putting their heads together and creating time-saving, money-saving and energy-saving (you name it, they've done it) products. From innovative sales forecasting and replenishment tools, to thermal queue cameras, our award winning work is making customers' lives that little bit easier every day. Right now we're looking to the future and the next generation of supermarket shopping. What's it going to look like? You tell us.

A leading edge software solution has been chosen which is expected to deliver significant benefits from day 1 of the UK implementation. This is a solution which has the potential to be implemented across all the countries in which Tesco operates across the globe.

- Understanding of the As Is architecture and solution design and how this can be adapted for Alliance sites
