Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn is the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, with over 1,200 stores. Its success is partly due to the shop chain's level of ambition. By widely deploying technology, Albert Heijn ensures an increasingly better customer experience. The digital savings system and self-scanning checkouts are examples of implementations introduced by Albert Heijn in the Netherlands. The internal project organisation and project partners excel in the speed of shop conversions. Through the VWO (Next Week Open) process, Albert Heijn is able to complete a full shop conversion in 7 days. 

Together with Albert Heijn, Based is working to further expand the digital foundation within the project and management organisation. The smart (re)use of data and the deployment of the latest technologies creates more insight and better cooperation within the chain. Based advises and supports Albert Heijn in strategy definition and implementation. By deploying digital (technology and data), Albert Heijn wants to realise its ambitions in the field of sustainability and cost reduction. Having and maintaining an intelligent and up-to-date digital shop file is the starting point. This shop file forms the basis of future building and renovation projects and forms the data carrier during the management and maintenance of the shops.
