Northeast Grocery unifies operations and saves $40M

When two U.S. grocery giants merged to form Northeast Grocery, the new company needed to drive operational excellence and create synergies without investing in a new mainframe.

With DXC’s help, Northeast Grocery extended the life of its critical infrastructure, streamlined systems and unlocked $40 million in savings—while positioning itself to embrace next-generation technologies.

Powering up post-merger

Mergers can supercharge productivity and drive powerful synergies, but success hinges on bringing operations together under a shared vision.

“DXC will help us as we transition the way we work and operate today and into the future,” said Scott Kessler, EVP & CIO, Northeast Grocery.
