Poundland is working on an online shopping service


As part of a huge transformation of its operations, Poundland is testing the introduction of several new technologies. It is currently working on system for online orders and deliveries in an attempt to move away from its traditional in-store discount goods.

The firm just announced that an e-commerce website and home delivery service is being set up. It will be conducting a pilot that use one of the chain's three stores in Cannock, in the town centre. The outlet has been closed and it is being transformed into an online fulfilment centre. According to the firm, this major transformation programme is going to see shops refreshed, extended choice and new high street investment. Since the retail industry has suffered quite some losses because of the coronavirus, the retailer is trying to “play its part in rebuilding battered high streets”.

This restructuring of operations is being called ‘Project Diamond’ and it aims to lead the recovery of the UK’s town centres. Poundland advanced that this transformation will see changes to pricing and refreshing and refurbishing of its sites from the smallest convenience outlets to larger destination stores.
