Our Business

A hub of activity for our business, our distribution operations span 43 operations nationwide – including 20 food depots, 3 clothing centres, 2 ambient GM hubs, 2 import centres, 2 National Sortation centres, 5 dot.com fulfilment centres and 9 ASCs (Asda Service Centres).

We’ve got more than 12,500 colleagues working across our distribution function processing a huge volume of our products – helping us deliver to all our shops, as well as to customers’ homes and to store for Click & Collect.

And as our transportation has grown with us, we’ve increased our biogas HGV fleet to 342 and invested in 6 biogas stations since 2021 – giving us the biggest biogas-powered HGV fleet in the UK. And we've set our sights on operating almost a thousand biogas trucks and investing in 10 more biogas stations by 2024.

The UK’s first end-to-end parcel solution, Asda ToYou uses minute-by-minute tracking to help our customers return or collect purchases from third party online retailers, at more than 600 of our stores. As well as collect and send parcels from Asda forecourts and collection points across the country.

Asda ToYou now serves millions of customers, moving over 19 million parcels in a year – offering our customers a choice of more than 140 third party partners to order, pick up and return through their local Asda store. And they can now use a fully automated tower to collect and return parcels through QR code technology.

Launched in 2004, International Procurement & Logistics (IPL) became part of the Asda family in 2009. And as a supply chain partner, they’re all about improving our customers’ shopping experience – driving great value, quality, and product availability.

With a network of suppliers and farmers across the world, they procure everything – from citrus fruits in South Africa, Chardonnay in Australia, flowers in Kenya, to strawberries here in Great Britain.

So whether it’s fruit and veg, houseplants and flowers, dried fruit and nuts, or wine and cooked meats and bacon, our customers can get everything they need – at an affordable price.

Launched nationwide in summer 2022, Asda Rewards provides customers with the chance to earn money into their Cashpots which they can then use when they buy groceries either in store or via Asda.com.

Customers can earn into their Cashpots by buying 'star products' or by completing customer-specific missions, in addition regular bonuses are available through gamification mechanics such as Spin and Win and by linking Asda Rewards to other Asda products and services such as the Asda Money credit card.
