stores under the Continente brand across Portugal with an annual turnover of
EUR7.6Bn (2024). It is one of the largest grocery retail operators in Portugal.
StrongPoint's Order Picking solution will be used across all Continente grocery
stores that process e-commerce orders, as well as in Wells stores, their health,
wellness and beauty retail chain. StrongPoint's Order Picking solution will be
implemented during the first half of 2026.
"We chose StrongPoint as our partner for in-store order picking because their
solution is the clear market leader in efficiency, helping us maximise
