Maintains its operations even in the state of emergency thanks to flexible staff
Denner AG is the third-largest food retailer in Switzerland, based on revenue. At the end of 2020, Denner had 833 sales outlets across all language regions of Switzerland. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Denner was one of the main suppliers of food and consumer goods for the Swiss population’s daily needs.
The March 2020 Covid-19 outbreak in Switzerland, saw Denner faced with enormous organisational and security challenges. The safety measures prescribed by the federal government had to be implemented rigorously. In addition, they needed to avoid supply bottlenecks, yet supply had to increase to cope with purchase growth. Their main challenges were:
Controlling customer frequency in each Swiss branch
Continuous cleaning and disinfection in each sales location (especially shopping trolleys, baskets, and checkout areas)
Denner was able to post targeted job requests on Coople, which instantly reached a pool of over 500’000 dedicated, flexible workers across Switzerland.
