Partnerships
Core partnerships with IGA, Cellarbrations and Mitre 10 underpin demand and market presence, collectively supporting over 3,500 independently owned outlets. These banners set store standards and pooled marketing that amplify Metcash’s offer and brand reach. Close alignment ensures consistent execution across the network. Joint planning with banner owners secures retailer loyalty and scale benefits for procurement and promos.
Strategic relationships with FMCG, liquor and hardware suppliers deliver assortment breadth, exclusive lines and pricing leverage, supporting Metcash’s role supplying around 5,800 independent retailers (FY2024). Joint business plans drive promotions and category growth, while reliable supply and co‑funded marketing underpin competitiveness. Long‑term contracts reduce volatility and secure allocation, supporting Metcash’s ~A$13.6bn wholesale scale in FY2024.
Third-party carriers, last-mile partners and pallet networks extend Metcash’s national coverage to over 3,500 independent outlets, while collaboration optimises linehaul, cross-dock and cold-chain performance. Aligning service levels targets OTIF of 95%+ and reduces damages; last-mile efficiency—which can represent up to 53% of delivery cost—cuts costs. Flexible capacity scales for peak seasons and regional demand.
Technology and data partners
ERP, WMS, TMS and EDI providers enable seamless ordering and fulfillment across Metcash, supporting integrations with retailer POS and supplier portals; in 2024 Metcash served about 2,700 independent retailers and processed roughly A$15bn in wholesale sales.
