7 KEYS TO OPEN DOORS AT COSTCO

Paul Moulton's (Executive VP & CIO, Costco) 2 Key Tech Questions

• Mr. Moulton stated that he preferred vendors that are not too technical and that he likes to see a PowerPoint presentation that uses business terms.
• If the presentation is in all technical terms Mr. Moulton immediately thinks the presenter is a gear head and wants to end the meeting quickly because “… he just makes me feel stupid.”
• His two key tech questions are:
• 1. Can we use what we have to accomplish the new technology plan?
• 2. Can we buy or do we need to build?

Costco is investing heavily in infrastructure

• Costco improved the back end of its digital operation while also making its website more user-friendly and spending heavily on improving its shipping logistics.
• That investment paid off strongly as the company reported a 43.5% gain in comparable e-commerce sales in Q1 2018.

Costco Bakes Machine Learning into a Tasty Customer Experience

• Costco’s Jeff Lyons, SVP and Head of Fresh Foods, outlined the need for a strategy to modernize its bakery department using machine learning to increase productivity while reducing waste.
• Working with the SAP Leonardo team on a prototype study, the resulting project helped Costco save nearly $100 million dollars across the 30 pilot stores that have adopted the new strategy.

Costco Applies IoT For Water Savings

• Costco was one of the earliest adopters of Semtech’s IoT as a water management system, and they’ve seen some pretty incredible results.
• Not only did they have access to a minute-by-minute report on the water usage at their various locations, but, using this new LoRa technology, they were able to drastically decrease their water waste.
• Since implementing the system, they’ve reported a 20% reduction in water waste along with a 22% savings in water bills.

Costco has been doubling down on e-commerce efforts by offering same-day delivery

• Costco reported membership renewal rates were a steady 90.7% in the U.S. and Canada.
• Member households were up 400,000 since its last quarter, resulting in 53.1 million member households.
• Total cardholders grew to 97.2 million.

As brick-and-mortar retail is crumbling at the feet of e-commerce, Costco has experienced steady growth.

• Costco's end goal is to cut the “fat” out of traditional retail and pass on the savings to loyal customers and employees.

Costco Raises Minimum Wage to $15 an Hour

• Executives at Costco announced the increase, from $14 an hour, for U.S. and Canadian workers.
• The announcement came after the company reported higher than anticipated second quarter financial earnings. Net sales for the quarter increased 7.3 percent to $34.63 billion, earning $889 million in net income.
• Richard Galanti, Costco's CFO, said that the company will also increase wages for supervisors and has implemented paid parental leave for hourly workers.
