Tesco renewal won largely by our technology Really a good sign, we should be able to steal customers from UPS, FedEx and the big guy DHL not to mention the smaller companies. Companies want custom solutions for the most favorable conditions or level for growth. You can see the importance of our tech push in the following excerpts and slide 10 which includes the mention of over 200 IT projects launching in 2015.
By working closely together, Tesco and XPO hope to improve availability and reduce replacement costs at Tesco’s 12 Recycling Service Units (RSUs) in the UK and Ireland.

The renewal of the contract would also mean the use of XPO's expertise in reverse logistics such as the quality of its returns management IT systems and synergies with Tesco's recycling operations.
Recently, both the companies were involved in the development and implementation of a live data capture system and the trial of a segregation system to enhance the quality and value of plastic waste.
