Ocado Group plc (/ɒˈkɑːdoʊ/ ok-AH-doh) is a British business based in Hatfield, England, which licenses grocery technology.

Ocado was established by Jonathan Faiman, Jason Gissing and Tim Steiner, former merchant bankers with Goldman Sachs, as L. M. Solutions, in January 2000.

[12] In January 2014, Ocado started providing website, warehousing and delivery services for one of their main grocery rivals, Morrisons supermarkets, allowing them to operate online using Ocado's network of depots to deliver Morrisons groceries to online customers.

[22][23][24][25] The fire was found to have started due a fault in a battery charging unit, and was exacerbated by worker responses.

[29] The company licenses Ocado Smart Platform, a proprietary solution for operating retail businesses online.

[28] Since 2014, Ocado has supported Code For Life, a not-for-profit organisation which helps children learn computer programming.
