Asda Launches Overhauled Online Grocery Service With Real-Time Tracking

Migration to the revamped platform is underway ahead of an end-August deadline, with Asda warning users to expect potential hiccups.

Overview

  • Asda’s updated refund process charges customers only for items accepted at the door, removing the wait for refunds on unwanted or substituted products.
  • The supermarket’s refreshed app introduces a live map view so shoppers can monitor delivery drivers’ locations in real time.
  • Shoppers will benefit from faster, more relevant search results and the removal of sponsored listings from their favourites section.
  • Asda cautions that switching delivery addresses or collection stores could cause users to lose their trolley or be unable to modify orders under the new system.
  • The online overhaul runs alongside a £10 million refresh of 180 in-store cafes, which will feature digital ordering screens by October.
