Case study
Rapid fulfilment for a French ecommerce company
Opportunity
In 2016, a French ecommerce company specializing in shoes and accessories asked GXO to execute a strategy for a new, ultramodern, European distribution center. We designed the facility, which is located near Paris, to satisfy the customer’s requirements for end-to-end automation.
Solution
GXO developed the facility with more than 200,000 square feet of capacity to accommodate additional inventory and workstations as volumes increase, along with a large studio used to photograph stock. We invested in mini-load technology to most efficiently access approximately 2.6 million products stored on site. Inventory is picked using a rail-mounted moving mast that delivers the products to designated packing stations. Customers receive their purchases in easy-open boxes based on a technical solution developed by GXO; personalized gift packaging is added, as needed, during fulfilment.
Results
- Stock availability, delivery times and service quality closely managed to customer expectations, with orders ready to dispatch in less than 30 minutes on average
- Reverse logistics for the customer’s European markets handled in the same facility, with returned merchandise accounting for approximately one-third of inbound flows
