Post by Sainsbury's Digital, Tech and Data

We just wrapped up the biggest hackathon in Sainsbury's history, and the energy was absolutely electric! ⚡ This year, we brought together 140 of our colleagues across technology to step away from the day-to-day, throw out the rulebook, and truly innovate. Teams hacked away to push the boundaries of AI and AI integration, designed to elevate the experience for both our customers and colleagues across our four core strategies: •⁠ ⁠First Choice for Food •⁠ ⁠More Argos More Often •⁠ ⁠Loyalty Everyone Loves •⁠ ⁠Save and Invest to Win But it wasn't all code and coffee! To celebrate all that hard work, we wrapped up day one with an epic evening festival. Colleagues got to unwind and recharge with a massive BBQ, a Mexican food truck, games tents, a dedicated chillout area, a live DJ keeping the vibes going - and of course, plenty of ice cream to honour our fantastic sponsor! A massive shoutout to our incredible tech partner, SoftServe, for sponsoring the event and helping us pull off our most ambitious hack yet. 🏆A huge congratulations to 'Aisle Be Back', who were crowned this year's overall Hackathon Winners! Watch this space - some of these incredible hacks might just be coming to a store near you soon! #Hackathon #AI #SainsburysTechnology
