Neolix autonomous vehicles have been adopted by IKEA China following a pilot in Anhui Province that reduced average customer waiting times by two-thirds, improving the customer experience while also creating a more efficient workplace for employees.
Ingka Group, the largest IKEA franchisee, confirmed that the solution will now be permanently adopted at IKEA Hefei following the successful trial. During the pilot, Neolix vehicles transported customer orders from an external warehouse to the store for self-pick-up while also supporting in-store replenishment.
Since the program began, Neolix vehicles have logged nearly 75,600 kilometers of autonomous driving.
The benefit was immediate. According to Ingka Group, for customers, the average waiting time for self-pickup orders dropped from six hours to just two, dramatically improving the overall customer experience and satisfaction.
For the business, transportation costs between IKEA operational units were also reduced by more than 50%, offering a potential cost-efficient model for smaller stores or future formats.
