Lincolnshire Co-op taps Xiatech MACH certified composable integration, data and analytics Xfuze platform

Lincolnshire Co-op has signed a seven-year agreement with Xiatech.

Lincolnshire Co-op, one of the UK’s largest Co-operatives with 300,000 members and more than 220 outlets in Lincolnshire and surrounding counties, will use Xfuze, Xiatech’s MACH certified composable integration, data and analytics platform, to modernise its legacy system landscape and create a single view of all operational data and provide AI powered analytics.  

“Lincolnshire Co-op is on an exciting transformation journey as part of our investment in our Purpose Beyond Profit 2023 strategy that will have a lasting impact on the lives of our members,” says Andy Warman, Head of Strategy and Transformation, Lincolnshire Co-op.

“We are excited to have chosen Xiatech as our strategic integration, data management and analytics partner.  In just a short time, Xiatech’s team of experts has delivered value through its innovative Xfuze platform.”

Xiatech has deployed Xfuze to initially create a single analytical view of sales for Lincolnshire Co-op’s funeral business with future system integration, data and analytics work moving into Food, Pharmacy and Membership.

For Lincolnshire Co-op’s food business, Xiatech will create a single view of customer/member, sales and stock that will enable new insights and data led decision making.

“We are honoured to have been chosen by Lincolnshire Co-op to accelerate the society’s transformation into a data led organisation by using Xfuze to automate the integration of systems, data and processes so everyone receives a constant flow of relevant and actionable insights they can rely on to make better decisions everyday,” says Jonathan Summerfield, CEO at Xiatech.

In June, we reported that WHSmith had chosen Xiatech as its partner to support the acceleration of the business’ growth and international expansion.

The ten-year partnership will involve WHSmith deploying Xfuze to create a real-time, hyper-connected business by integrating the system landscape and creating a single view of trusted data (including customers, sales, product, inventory), supporting the retailer’s operations and decision-making across its global business.

Lyndon Hearn, Group CIO, WHSmith, said: “As a business operating in more than 30 countries around the world, we are always looking at how we can consistently deliver the best possible experience for our customers, no matter where they shop with us.”

“We are excited to partner with Xiatech whose innovative integration, data and analytics platform offers us rapid feedback and insights from across our business, helping us stay connected to the needs of our colleagues, customers and suppliers and helping us to always be there for every one of life’s journeys.”
