Morrisons migrates its data and reporting platform to BigQuery and Looker

Google Cloud's Morrisons customer evidence describes migration of the retailer's data from an on-premises stack to BigQuery and replacement of its previous third-party reporting layer with Looker, with store sales feeding BigQuery and updating Looker dashboards. Google's dated 13 December 2025 data-platform article independently confirms a BigQuery-backed Morrisons in-store Product Finder operating at customer scale by that evidence horizon.

Organisation
Morrisons, United Kingdom
Predecessor
Morrisons' source-described on-premises database/data stack with a previous third-party BI reporting tool
Destination
Google Cloud BigQuery data platform with Looker reporting and operational store-sales dashboards
Workload
Google Cloud BigQuery and Looker
Stage
operational
Evidence boundary: The current Google Cloud Morrisons customer evidence proves the bounded data/reporting platform is operational on BigQuery and Looker. The dated 13 December 2025 Google Cloud evidence independently establishes an operational BigQuery-backed Morrisons customer capability by that date; it does not establish the private migration or Looker cutover day. The claim does not extend to every Morrisons data system or unrelated legacy application.
