Tesco has widened its home delivery service in Hungary, extending Tesco Otthonról to an additional 240,000 households across 301 settlements. The expansion means more than 1 million homes nationwide can now order groceries for same-day delivery, with residents in 1,500 settlements able to use the service.
The rollout brings online hypermarket shopping to several areas for the first time, including towns around Kisvárda, Mátészalka, Tiszaújváros, Tiszafüred, Hatvan, Vác, Komárom and Dombóvár. 82% of the country can now order from its online offer, choosing from 10,000 to 15,000 products.
Orders are placed through the Tesco Otthonról app or website and assembled in 50 stores across the country before being handed over to DODO couriers. Employees pick products in-store, while couriers complete the final mile to customers’ homes.
Customers can choose one, or two-hour delivery windows, up to four weeks in advance, and same-day delivery remains available. Weekend slots are especially important, with demand strongest on Fridays and Saturdays.
Logistics at scale
The delivery operation is sizable. DODO handles 20,000 to 22,000 orders per week with a fleet of more than 200 vehicles, covering over 200,000 kilometers weekly. That distance is roughly equivalent to more than five trips around the globe each week.
The company also moves around 1.1 million products weekly, equal to roughly 1,000 tons of goods. To support that scale, it replaced its entire fleet last year with newer Toyota Proace L2 vehicles.
