PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Starting Point

Challenge

Collaboration

_

Inco is one of Denmark’s largest food wholesalers, operating three cash & carry warehouses serving professional buyers. The ambition was not simply to digitise checkout. It was to rethink how customers move, buy, and interact inside the warehouse. Since 2019, Kruso has acted as Inco’s digital transformation partner. The scan & go app became the first visible step, but it was rooted in a broader strategic investment plan for long-term digital development. Before writing a single line of code, we worked with iÍnco to define a realistic, staged transformation roadmap. The app was not the goal. It was an enabler.

Turning Strategy into Operational Change

The objective was concrete: enable customers to manage their entire purchase journey directly from their own smartphone.

But in a wholesale environment, operational stability matters as much as innovation. The solution had to work in busy warehouses, integrate with existing systems, and support both customers and frontline staff.

This required organisational alignment — not just development capacity.

Inco self-scan app on smartphone

We approached the project through participatory and user-driven design. Not because it sounds progressive, but because adoption depends on ownership.

Key stakeholders across inco, from technology and sales to customer service and cashiers, were involved early. Employees tested prototypes before customers did. Their daily experience shaped the solution.

Through short, iterative sprints, feedback was continuously translated into adjustments. Test. Refine. Test again.

This ensured two things:

  • The solution supported real customer behaviour

  • The organisation was prepared to operate and support it from day one

Adoption was designed in - not added later.

From Functionality to Business Capability

The app enables customers to scan products, manage purchases, access invoices, and personalise their experience.

But the real shift is structural.

The solution:

  • reduces friction in the warehouse flow

  • redistributes operational workload

  • creates direct access to behavioural data

  • strengthens inco’s ability to evolve the customer journey over time

The app is not a standalone product. It is a platform capability.

Continuous Development as a Discipline

Since launch in 2022, the solution has been continuously developed. New features are prioritised based on real usage data and evolving business needs.

This long-term collaboration has strengthened Inco’s internal focus on customer journey data as a strategic asset. Insights from behaviour now inform operational decisions, investment priorities, and service development.

Digital transformation, in this case, is not a launch moment.
It is an operational discipline.
