The tech leadership realizing more than the sum of parts

14 January 2026 at 05:00

Waiting on replacement parts can be more than just an inconvenience. It can be a matter of sharp loss of income and opportunity. This is especially true for those who depend on industrial tools and equipment for agriculture and construction. So to keep things run as efficiently as possible, Parts ASAP CIO John Fraser makes sure end customer satisfaction is the highest motivation to get the tech implementation and distribution right.

โ€œWhat it comes down to, in order to achieve that, is the team,โ€ he says. โ€œI came into this organization because of the culture, and the listen first, act later mentality. Itโ€™s something I believe in and Iโ€™m going to continue that culture.โ€

Bringing in talent and new products has been instrumental in creating a stable e-commerce model, so Fraser and his team can help digitally advertise to customers, establish the right partnerships to drive traffic, and provide the right amount of data.

โ€œOnce youโ€™re a customer of ours, we have to make sure weโ€™re a needs-based business,โ€ he says. โ€œWe have to be the first thing that sticks in their mind because itโ€™s not about a track on a Bobcat that just broke. Itโ€™s $1,000 a day someoneโ€™s not going to make due to a piece of equipment thatโ€™s down.โ€

Ultimately, this strategy helps and supports customers with a collection of highly-integrated tools to create an immersive experience. But the biggest challenge, says Fraser, is the variety of marketplace channels customers are on.

โ€œSome people prefer our website,โ€ he says. โ€œBut some are on Walmart or about 20 other commercial channels we sell on. Each has unique requirements, ways to purchase, and product descriptions. On a single product, we might have 20 variations to meet the character limits of eBay, for instance, or the brand limitations of Amazon. So weโ€™ve built out our own product information management platform. It takes the right talent to use that technology and a feedback loop to refine the process.โ€

Of course, AI is always in the conversation since people canโ€™t write updated descriptions for 250,000 SKUs.

โ€œAI will fundamentally change what everybodyโ€™s job is,โ€ he says. โ€œI know I have to prepare for it and be forward thinking. We have to embrace it. If you donโ€™t, youโ€™re going to get left behind.โ€

Fraser also details practical AI adoption in terms of pricing, product data enhancement, and customer experience, while stressing experimentation without over-dependence. Watch the full video below for more insights, and be sure to subscribe to the monthly Center Stage newsletter by clicking here.

On consolidating disparate systems: You certainly run into challenges. People are on the same ERP system so they have some familiarity. But even within that, you have massive amounts of customization. Sometimes thatโ€™s very purpose-built for the type of process an organization is running, or that unique sales process, or whatever. But in other cases, itโ€™s very hard. Weโ€™ve acquired companies with their own custom built ERP platform, where they spent 20 years curating it down to eliminate every button click. Those donโ€™t go quite as well, but you start with a good culture, and being transparent with employees and customers about whatโ€™s happening, and you work through it together. The good news is it starts with putting the customer first and doing it in a consistent way. Tell people change is coming and build a rapport before you bring in massive changes. There are some quick wins and efficiencies, and so people begin to trust. Then, youโ€™re not just dragging them along but bringing them along on the journey.

On AI: Everybodyโ€™s talking it, but thereโ€™s a danger to that, just like there was a danger with blockchain and other kinds of immersive technologies. You have to make sure you know why youโ€™re going after AI. You canโ€™t just use it because itโ€™s a buzzword. You have to bake it into your strategy and existing use cases, and then leverage it. Weโ€™re doing it in a way that allows us to augment our existing strategy rather than completely and fundamentally change it. So for example, weโ€™re going to use AI to help influence what our product pricing should be. We have great competitive data, and a great idea of what our margins need to be and where the market is for pricing. Some companies are in the news because theyโ€™ve gone all in on AI, and AI is doing some things that are maybe not so appropriate in terms of automation. But if you can go in and have it be a contributing factor to a human still deciding on pricing, thatโ€™s where we are rather than completely handing everything over to AI.

On pooling data: We have a 360-degree view of all of our customers. We know when theyโ€™re buying online and in person. If theyโ€™re buying construction equipment and material handling equipment, weโ€™ll see that. But when somebodyโ€™s buying a custom fork for a forklift, thatโ€™s very different than someone needing a new water pump for a John Deere tractor. And having a manufacturing platform that allows us to predict a two and a half day lead time on that custom fork is a different system to making sure that water pump is at your door the next day. Trying to do all that in one platform just hasnโ€™t been successful in my experience in the past. So weโ€™ve chosen to take a bit of a hybrid approach where you combine the data but still have best in breed operational platforms for different segments of the business.

On scaling IT systems: The key is weโ€™re not afraid to have more than one operational platform. Today, in our ecosystem of 23 different companies, weโ€™re manufacturing parts in our material handling business, and thatโ€™s a very different operational platform than, say, purchasing overseas parts, bringing them in, and finding a way to sell them to people in need, where you need to be able to distribute them fast. Itโ€™s an entirely different model. So weโ€™re not establishing one core platform in that case, but the right amount of platforms. Itโ€™s not 23, but itโ€™s also not one. So as we think about being able to scale, itโ€™s also saying that if you try to be all things to all people, youโ€™re going to be a jack of all trades and an expert in none. So we want to make sure when we have disparate segments that have some operational efficiency in the back end โ€” same finance team, same IT teams โ€” weโ€™ll have more than one operational platform. Then through different technologies, including AI, ensure we have one view of the customer, even if theyโ€™re purchasing out of two or three different systems.

On tech deployment: Experiment early and then make certain not to be too dependent on it immediately. We have 250,000 SKUs, and more than two million parts that we can special order for our customers, and you canโ€™t possibly augment that data with a world-class description with humans. So we selectively choose how to make the best product listing for something on Amazon or eBay. But weโ€™re using AI to build enhanced product descriptions for us, and instead of having, say, 10 people curating and creating custom descriptions for these products, weโ€™re leveraging AI and using agents in a way that allow people to build the content. Now humans are simply approving, rejecting, or editing that content, so weโ€™re leveraging them for the knowledge they need to have, and if this going to be a good product listing or not. We know there are thousands of AI companies, and for us to be able to pick a winner or loser is a gamble. Our approach is to make it a bit of a commoditized service. But weโ€™re also pulling in that data and putting it back into our core operational platform, and there it rests. So if weโ€™re with the wrong partner, or they get acquired, or go out of business, we can switch quickly without having to rewrite our entire set of systems because we take it in, use it a bit as a commoditized service, get the data, set it at rest, and then we can exchange that AI engine. Weโ€™ve already changed it five times and weโ€™re okay to change it another five until we find the best possible partner so we can stay bleeding edge without having all the expense of building it too deeply into our core platforms.

The retail innovation war โ€“ South Koreaโ€™s 1-hour shipping and store space innovation

12 January 2026 at 11:40

The introduction of Emart + SSG.COMโ€™s 1-hour shipping service (a.k.a. Quick Commerce) and the strategy of reorganizing physical store space represent not just an expansion of services, but a strategic turning point for the survival and future of the South Korean retail market, particularly when analyzed through the lens of Amazon and Walmart. As a CTO of SSG.COM and former CTO of Emart, I provide an in-depth analysis of the core case studies and strategic goals of each company.

How do South Korean and US retail market characteristics compare?

The fundamental differences in the retail markets of South Korea and the US stem from their geographic characteristics, which drastically dictate corporate competition strategies. South Korea, due to its small land area and ultra-high population density, boasts highly cost-effective last-mile delivery. With the majority of the population concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area, 1-hour shipping using motorcycles is economically viable, and this ultra-high density drives speed as the service standard. This environment has set โ€˜same-day or dawn deliveryโ€™ as the basic consumer expectation, making speed competition an essential for survival among retailers.

A prime example is Coupangโ€˜s strategy of densely placing national fulfillment centers (FCs) and small fulfillment camps to build its exclusive โ€˜Rocket Deliveryโ€™ speed advantage. In contrast, the US, with its vast territory and lower population density, faces very high last-mile costs, making nationwide 1-to-2-day delivery impossible without massive logistics infrastructure, and this vast territory necessitates flexibility and scale. Amazon overcame this by utilizing its large-scale fulfillment center network and dedicated aircraft (Amazon Air) to standardize โ€˜2-day nationwide delivery (Prime)โ€™. Since large-scale, car-centric weekly shopping is typical, Walmart saw buy online pick up in store (BOPIS) service emerge as the most efficient alternative.

Is the Emart/SSG.COM versus Coupang competition mirroring Walmart versus Amazon?

The competition between Emart/SSG.COM and Coupang mirrors the structure of Walmart versus Amazon, though the core battleground differs. Emart/SSG.COM adopts the Walmart model, striving for omnichannel completion based on existing physical assets and trust. Just as Walmart utilizes thousands of its physical stores as ship from store (SFS) hubs to contend with Amazonโ€™s logistics, Emart employs its national stores as urban dark stores for 1-hour shipping. Conversely, Coupang is the Amazon-like innovator, disrupting market rules through vertically integrated logistics and technology investment, and the dynamics between the innovator and the incumbent are critical. Coupangโ€™s Rocket Wow membership, similar to Amazonโ€™s Prime, bundles free shipping and other perks to maximize customer switching costs, thereby dominating the market.

What are the differences in competition methods driven by market characteristics?

Competition methods in both countries are dictated by market specifics. South Koreaโ€™s ultra-high density environment compels SSG.COM to inevitably match Coupangโ€™s speed expectations. Therefore, SSG.COM must utilize existing assets (Emart stores) through 1-hour shipping while keeping pace with Coupangโ€™s speed benchmark, as speed and fresh quality are non-negotiable in South Korea. Furthermore, to secure the quality and โ€˜visual trustโ€™ of fresh food highly valued by Korean consumers, they insist on the in-store picking method by Emart staff. In contrast, the USโ€™s vast territory informs Walmart that matching Amazonโ€™s national speed is inefficient, and flexibility and cost efficiency rule the US market. Walmart thus leverages American consumersโ€™ car-centric culture to offer the exclusive convenience of in-store pickup (BOPIS), prioritizing โ€˜flexibilityโ€™ and โ€˜cost efficiencyโ€™ as competitive advantages against Amazon.

How is South Korea securing fast delivery competition with 1-hour shippingโ€™s impact on SSG.COM versus Coupang?

SSG.COMโ€™s introduction of 1-hour shipping represents a critical shift from a defensive to an offensive posture against Coupang. By utilizing Emart stores (existing assets) to build a 1-hour delivery network, SSG.COM minimized the fixed cost burden (CAPEX) of constructing dedicated fulfillment centers, unlike Coupangโ€™s massive investment. 1-hour shipping meets Coupangโ€™s established โ€˜instant deliveryโ€™ standard, and the service achieves functional parity in speed with competitors. This neutralizes speed as the sole reason for choosing Coupang. SSG.COM leverages 1-hour shipping as a powerful customer acquisition channel to draw urgent-purchase customers into the SSG.COM ecosystem.

What is the US fast delivery competition strategy: where does Walmart stand against Amazon delivery?

Walmartโ€™s strategy against Amazon is not to โ€œbeat the speedโ€ but to โ€œovercome speed with flexibility and secure a unique advantage.โ€ Walmart leverages its thousands of national stores to offer Express Delivery (1-2 hour delivery), achieving speed close to Amazon in urban centers while maintaining cost efficiency. Critically, the BOPIS (in-store pickup) service provides the exclusive value of โ€˜zero delivery fee, zero delivery timeโ€™ to the customer, and physical assets are leveraged for customer exclusivity. This utilizes physical accessibility as a weapon that Amazon cannot easily match. Walmart cemented its grocery market dominance through this flexibility, securing a distinct competitive edge of โ€˜groceries and flexibilityโ€™ outside Amazonโ€™s core logistics monopoly.

How has 1-hour shipping implementation changed SSG.COM versus Coupang dynamics?

The launch of 1-hour shipping is an attempt by SSG.COM to secure โ€˜profitabilityโ€™ and โ€˜competitivenessโ€™ in the quick commerce market simultaneously. SSG.COM leverages the high-quality fresh products of Emart combined with fast delivery to establish a unique โ€˜premium quick commerceโ€™ image, countering Coupangโ€™s convenience with freshness and quality trust. With this, SSG.COM has completed a โ€˜full spectrum omnichannelโ€™ by offering dawn, scheduled, and 1-hour quick commerce all within one platform, and the service completes the full-spectrum omnichannel offering, significantly enhancing the customer lock-in effect against Coupang. The success of this strategy is evidenced by the expansion of the service and items offered.

What is the true rationale for Emart running quick commerce despite inventory drawbacks: strategic survival?

The real reason Emart operates 1-hour shipping despite the drawbacks of shared inventory (like stock discrepancies) and inefficient picking routes is strategic necessity for survival and future customer acquisition, outweighing short-term logistical inefficiencies. Faced with the crisis of declining offline traffic and an aging customer base, 1-hour shipping satisfies the younger generationโ€™s preference for โ€˜immediacyโ€™ and โ€˜mobile convenienceโ€™, serving as a โ€˜gatewayโ€™ to bring them into the SSG.COM ecosystem, and this strategy mitigates an aging customer base and declining offline traffic. Furthermore, 1-hour shipping is a core financial efficiency strategy, maximizing the asset utilization of Emart stores by turning them into โ€˜online order fulfillment centersโ€™ and utilizing existing staff to increase the profitability of fixed assets, meaning assets are maximized through a financial efficiency strategy. 1-hour shipping is essentially an essential survival investment to adapt to the post-pandemic trend of urgent consumption and preempt the future customer base.

What is South Koreaโ€™s offline retail strategy: space reorganization for customer attraction?

South Korean offline retail is evolving to seek customer traffic through spatial differentiation beyond just logistics hubs. Emartโ€™s recent attempts reflect this. Emartโ€™s new strategy involves leasing out most of its large store space to tenants to earn rental income, while Emartโ€™s own section is reorganized to focus on grocery (fresh food). This separates logistics functions online (1-hour shipping) and transforms the offline storeโ€™s role into a โ€˜complex space for experience, culture, and consumption,โ€™ as physical space is transformed into experiential hubs. The goal is to create a โ€˜reason to visitโ€™. By attracting tenants like local famous restaurants, trendy brands, and cultural facilities, they increase attractiveness, encouraging customers who come for the experience to subsequently purchase the highest quality groceries (Emartโ€™s core competency), creating a virtuous cycle. This strategy is essential for modern shopping centers to remain relevant.

What are the global implications of South Koreaโ€™s fast shipping competition and store innovation trends?

The fierce โ€˜speed and quality competitionโ€™ and the โ€˜space innovationโ€™ trend in the South Korean market offer significant insights for global retailers on future omnichannel strategies and last-mile innovation. South Koreaโ€™s โ€˜1-hour shippingโ€™ standardization proves that โ€˜2-day delivery (Amazon Prime)โ€™ is no longer the endpoint, and the south korean model standardizes ultra-fast delivery globally. This pressures companies like Walmart to regard Express Delivery as core infrastructure, not just an add-on service. The strategy of SSG.COM utilizing Emart stores as dark stores for 1-hour shipping while leasing out remaining space to high-profit tenants presents an innovative model for balancing online competition and offline profitability, and hybrid asset models offer a path for profitability.

European retailers like Carrefour and US retailers like Target can see opportunities on this strategy of dividing underutilized space into picking hubs/warehouses and experiential retail. The Korean case proves that speed alone is insufficient for victory in quick commerce, meaning quality is the key differentiator in quick commerce. Positioning โ€˜trustworthy brandedโ€™ fresh food as the core offering, as SSG.COM does, secures a โ€˜premium positioningโ€™ distinct from low-cost delivery services, which is essential for long-term customer loyalty. The growth of the quick commerce market globally is rapid and focused on groceries.

CTO insights: the future survival strategy in retail?

The Emart + SSG.COM 1-hour shipping strategy is a multi-layered approach that counters โ€˜Amazonโ€™s (Coupangโ€™s) speedโ€™ through โ€˜Walmartโ€™s asset reuseโ€™ while ultimately planning the future through โ€˜space reorganizationโ€™.

To secure future competitiveness, retailers like Emart/SSG.COM must focus on AI-powered shared inventory optimization, advancing real-time data synchronization between Emart POS data and online orders to elevate the 1-hour shipping picking efficiency, as technology must be optimized for Online-to-Offline(O2O) integration.

Integrated data collection on customer viewing habits should be utilized to offer personalized promotions, completing a seamless shopping experience.

Finally, 1-hour shipping must be expanded selectively only to stores where profitability is ensured, and focusing on profitable expansion is vital for long-term survival. The strategy should focus on building a high-revenue O2O integration model by merging the data from reorganized offline spaces (tenant rentals) with online sales, ultimately reinforcing the โ€˜premium quick commerceโ€™ positioning of providing the fastest, most reliable products.
