1. Background & Challenges of Kitchen Category
European household coffee consumption continues to upgrade, with small household grinding and brewing appliances becoming high-frequency necessities in the kitchen. This European supermarket chain has nearly 200 offline stores. Previously, its kitchen appliances mainly consisted of traditional cookware and basic appliances, with a limited range of coffee-related products and highly homogenized functions. This resulted in low average transaction value, insufficient cross-selling, and weak conversion of customers from younger families. Overall, the growth of the kitchen category slowed down, necessitating the introduction of a differentiated, high-repurchase, and experience-driven product mix to revitalize the category's potential.

Meanwhile, supermarket procurement faces stringent requirements such as stable supply, controllable quality, simplified after-sales service, support for bulk customization, and rapid delivery. Traditional suppliers struggle to simultaneously meet the comprehensive demands of quality standards, delivery efficiency, and cost control.
