Lincolnshire Co-op picks Xiatech to become a data-led organisation

London, UK - 23 July 2024: Lincolnshire Co-op has signed a seven-year agreement with Xiatech to support the society’s strategic transformation which includes becoming a data-led organisation that is able to make a bigger difference for members, communities, and wider social issues they face.

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,” said 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 that will help to accelerate the organisation’s applications modernisation programme. For Lincolnshire Co-op’s food business, Xiatech will create a single view of customer/member, sales and stock that will enable powerful new insights and data-led decision making, unlocking value and helping the organisation to better serve its customers and stores.

“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,” said Jonathan Summerfield, CEO of Xiatech.
