Mercadona (Spain) opens development hubs in Seville, Vigo, Santander and Porto (Portugal). The aim is to continue developing technological solutions that drive the company’s digital transformation.
Mercadona IT, the department responsible for technological development, is currently made up of more than 1,000 people.
One of the major challenges faced by Mercadona, a physical supermarket and online sales company, is cutting-edge technological solutions that drive the company’s digital transformation.
There are two main lines of work at Mercadona IT: the modernisation of existing applications that affect the company’s core processes, with a roadmap that currently includes the re-engineering of more than 300 applications; and the digitisation of new processes, “with cutting-edge technologies, architectures and languages,” according to Serafín Fernández, the company’s director of Computer Engineering.
