Catch wind down and OneDigital update
In January 2025, Wesfarmers announced that Catch would cease to trade as a standalone operating business in the fourth quarter of the 2025 financial year. Catch’s e-commerce fulfilment centres will be transferred to Kmart Group, while select digital capabilities developed in Catch will be transferred to Wesfarmers’ retail divisions.
The transition of Catch’s fulfilment centres is expected to improve the customer experience and efficiency of Kmart Group's e-commerce operations. The move is anticipated to result in faster deliveries to customers at a lower unit cost, and relieve pressure on Kmart Group's busy stores.
The transition of Catch’s fulfilment centres is expected to have a positive but not material impact on Kmart Group earnings in the 2026 financial year.
Select digital capabilities from Catch, including specialist personnel and supplier relationships, will be transferred to other retail divisions within Wesfarmers, further strengthening the retail divisions’ omnichannel offers.
OneDigital continues to accelerate the Group’s data and digital ambitions, with the OnePass membership program driving incremental sales and the shared data asset enabling the Group to better understand customers.
OneDigital will now accelerate the development of a Group retail media network, investing in shared systems, data, and sales capabilities to commercialise retail media across the retail and health divisions.
