How can digital help users within their customer journeys and buying paths? How can digital enrich Intermarché's service offer? How can digital strengthen the relationship with the firm, with its brands and its values ?
As part of its reflexion on the evolution of its digital strategy, Intermarché, the third largest French distributor, sought assistance from Unknowns to define a strategic and operational vision of its future omni-channel business. By building an omnichannel vision, the group wants to make digital the foundations of the customer experience, the privileged link between the brand, its points of sale and its customers.
omnichannel business strategic vision : definition of omni-channel business strategy and guiding axes for the future experience
Transformation of the organization : creation of a Digital Direction, corporate culture shift, and project management driven by quality
Implementation of the omnichannel platform : definition of the MVP and setup of the RED project
The challenge: moving from food distribution to an omnichannel shopping service
To identify the needs of individuals and define the role that Intermarché can play in the evolution of the distribution market, we conducted an ethnographic study, an internal exploration and a market study.

The challenge was to define a strategic vision of Intermarché's business transformation and an operational strategy for implementation. To do so, we imagined the key principles for a customer experience that could support and embody the role of Intermarché in the lives of its customers, which we formalized. On the other hand, we defined the requirements for governance, a method and organization scheme for the implementation, and a progressive in-sourcing of digital competence.
