Petr Lizner, Head of Strategy at Veloq & Rohlik Group, and Dalibor Pátek, VP Product & Process Excellence at Rohlik Group, will be at Groceryshop talking about what brings an online customer back and what it costs to serve them when they do. → Petr will be on the panel discussing "Driving Convenience, Speed, and Profitability in Online Grocery” on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 3:40–4:20 PM, on the Pop stage. On the agenda: e-commerce experiences that drive loyalty and frequency, the trade-off between speed, assortment, and service, and how fulfillment, pricing, and retail media combine into profitable growth. → Dalibor joins the executive panel on "Tapping Data Analytics and AI for Productivity and Profitability" on Wednesday, Sept. 23 from 9:00–9:40 AM, on the Capsule stage. This one covers which administrative work AI agents can take off people's hands, what data and technology do for productivity, and the guardrails agentic AI needs before it goes near a live operation. Join Petr and Dalibor, or grab them for a meeting.

Every same-day grocery order depends on five variables: demand, staffing, storage, routing, and courier capacity. Get one wrong, and the order is late, or the operation loses money delivering it on time. On August 20, 10:00 a.m. EST, RETHINK Retail will be hosting Dalibor Pátek, VP of Product at Rohlik Group, for a webinar on how Veloq gets all five right in gurkerl.at’s Vienna operation, from inbound to the customer's door. Dalibor, along with experts from his team, will provide a step-by-step overview of orchestrated decisions across fulfillment and delivery, bringing together operational data, workflows, and real-time execution, including: → How demand forecasting sets fulfillment center and last-mile shift patterns together. Slot availability up 90%, delays under 5%. → How staffing pulls from a skill matrix and real performance data. → How Veloq decides where each item is stored and how it moves: AutoStore™, Sereact robotic picking, or automated expedition. → How routing runs on live inputs down to individual map segments, fed by a courier feedback loop. → How to plan last-mile capacity in 15-minute blocks across a D-50-to-D-0 window. Attendees get a concrete picture of how forecasting, staffing, storage, routing, and courier planning function as one system, along with a reference point for where to start if their own operation is still solving these problems one at a time.

Storing groceries across ambient, chilled, and frozen zones sounds complex: which item goes in which zone, and making sure it never goes into the wrong one. AutoStore™'s VP of Central Europe, Philipp Striebel, talks about how Veloq and AutoStore handle that complexity at Gurkerl.at by running ambient and chilled grids side by side, with 80% of the assortment automated. If you're an online grocer, how do you handle storing goods across temperature zones?

Lorenz Diederichs, COO of knuspr.de and gurkerl.at - Dein Besser-Als-Super-Markt talks about what changed once Veloq went in: Full, end-to-end visibility, from the order arriving from a vendor to the moment it's picked for a customer. Veloq's AI decides which AutoStore compartment stock goes into at inbound based on how it'll need to move at outbound, then decides which bin to pick from for every customer order. The same system makes both decisions across all 15,000+ SKUs. That's how Gurkerl.at achieves more than 98% availability, 95% perfect orders, and picking accuracy above 99%, all at the same time. What would full inbound-to-outbound visibility be worth to your operation?

Whether in Europe or the US, all the growth happening in online grocery right now is happening in one place: same-day. But can grocers deliver the full assortment customers expect on the same day and still turn a profit? Based on the profitability Rohlik Group has achieved with Veloq, the answer is clearly “Yes!” So, what does it cost an operator to keep running without a platform like Veloq? Petr Lizner, Director of Strategy & Growth at Veloq, answers the question on the floor of our Vienna FC, run by gurkerl.at - Dein Besser-Als-Super-Markt .

Building a grocery fulfillment center from scratch usually means assembling five separate pieces: a consulting firm to design it, a WMS, automation, a router, and last-mile software. None of them built for same-day. None of them built for grocery. Petr Lizner Director of Strategy & Growth at Veloq, answers the question: Why use Veloq vs. another partner or building your own?
