The capabilities that shape most roles here, and how to get ready for each.
Different customer journeys
A grocery trip, a DIY purchase and a holiday booking call for different decisions even within the same group.
How to prepare: Choose the brand closest to your target role and trace a customer journey from discovery through service or fulfilment.
Store and digital fit
Self-checkout, self-scanning and delivery only work well when the technology fits the realities of stores and customers.
How to prepare: Bring an example of improving a process while accounting for frontline effort, accessibility and customer clarity.
Reliable fulfilment choices
Convenience and quick commerce depend on product availability, accurate information and practical delivery decisions.

The MinTraq readiness lens for REWE Group
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at REWE Group.
Build depth in the discipline your role needs, then apply it to the relevant brand: grocery replenishment differs from travel service or DIY merchandising.
Good judgement means balancing customer convenience with store capacity, availability and operational clarity when a new service changes established routines.
For leadership roles, prepare examples of guiding teams through process changes while keeping brand needs and frontline feedback visible.
AI readiness is most relevant where data can improve demand planning, customer service or retail software; explain how you would check outputs before using them in decisions.
