Building on a Strong Foundation
This announcement builds upon the existing relationship between TCS and Morrisons, which began several years ago. The successful initial collaboration has paved the way for this expanded partnership, demonstrating the value TCS has already delivered to the British retailer.
"Our deepened partnership with Morrisons represents our commitment to driving innovation in the retail sector," said a TCS spokesperson. "We're excited to help shape the future of grocery retail in the UK through cutting-edge digital solutions."
A Competitive Edge in Challenging Times
