How IKEA Pivoted From Catalog Retailer to Digital Platform

IKEA's catalog was once the most printed publication on earth — 200 million copies a year. In 2020, they killed it. This episode of The Pivot Podcast explores how the flat-pack furniture giant made the strategic shift from analog to digital while keeping its core business intact. Lucas and Luna walk through the 2018 acquisition of TaskRabbit, the rollout of remote planning tools, and the quiet transformation of IKEA's supply chain into a platform play. They ask whether a company built on the physical experience of 'the store as a day out' can survive when more customers buy online. Specific numbers: 10 million augmented-reality furniture placements via the IKEA Place app, the 70% of customers who still visit stores before buying, and the 25% revenue growth from online channels between 2020 and 2025. A case study in letting go of your own icon without losing your soul. #IKEA #RetailPivot #DigitalTransformation #BusinessStrategy #PivotPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CatalogToDigital #TaskRabbit #ARRetail #SupplyChain #Ecommerce #BrickAndMortar #Disruption #RetailInnovation #FlatPack #LegacyBrands #StrategicShift Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
