Automate Your Warehouse: From 500 Parcels a Day, It’s Possible!

It’s often thought that logistics automation is the preserve of e-commerce giants. Yet, from 500 parcels a day, you can already automate your picking and shipping operations. The result? Time, reliability, and energy savings… and better service quality.

See below for the example of a responsible fashion e-merchant company that combines logistical performance with ethical commitment.

1.     Giving Unsold Stock a Second Life, Without Compromising Efficiency

What should be done with stock remaining after sale seasons?

The company positions itself as a simple, instant, and responsible solution for retailers wanting to add value to end-of-line stock.

Based in France, works with over 2,500 stores and e-commerce sellers all across the country to help combat textile waste.

Their promise?

·       Add value to unsold stock from physical retail

·       Help retailers manage their inventory sustainably

·       Make responsible fashion more accessible

The model is built on 3 pillars:

·       Every item deserves its chance.

·       Every shop deserves a reliable and sustainable solution.

·       Every consumer deserves quality, durable, and affordable fashion.

3.     The Challenges of a Growing E-merchant Company

Like many e-commerce brands, they faced several logistics pain points:
