Tesco Technology expands in Krakow, will hire 500.

Tesco Technology, a part of the Tesco Group that creates technological solutions for international markets, is expanding in Krakow.

The company has moved to a new headquarters in the Unity Center complex, where it occupies five floors and announces an increase in employment to 500 specialists.

The strategic strengthening of the branch is also supported by the decision of the Tesco Group's Booker brand, which is building its engineering expertise in Krakow.

The Tesco Technology Krakow hub has been developing systematically since 2018. In recent years, the company has steadily increased its workforce, and currently 350 specialists are working here.

"Our growth in Krakow and plans to expand our team confirm the strategic role that Polish engineers play for Tesco. "The opening of the new office is a clear signal that we have long-term plans for Krakow, and the Tesco Group's leading position offers candidates what is most valuable today: stability and career development prospects," said Guus Dekker, CTO of Tesco Technology.

Tesco Technology in Krakow is also implementing projects utilizing AI solutions on a large scale. An example is the introduction of the clothing brand F&F to e-commerce. Using advanced algorithms to automatically describe and categorize products, engineers efficiently digitized thousands of items. This implementation significantly improved internal processes and generated £4.2 million in online sales. Such a large scale of operations in the dynamically growing retail tech sector means enormous career opportunities. For specialists, it offers the opportunity to work on solutions that impact the Tesco Group's operations and the everyday lives of consumers.

"Specialists at the Krakow center are implementing projects of critical importance, including logistics and customer service. One of these innovative areas is warehouse robotics. Engineers are creating control systems for robots that transport products between individual warehouse zones. These proprietary solutions enable process automation and a significant reduction in order completion time, which directly translates into operational efficiency for the entire network. At the same time, we are developing advanced AI-based solutions, which, for example, allow us to shorten the time it takes to introduce new products to online sales from several days to just a few seconds," adds Roland Płaszowski, Head of Software Development & Site Lead at the Tesco Technology hub in Krakow.
