The Challenge
Coolshop faced three key challenges in its warehouse operations, driven by its rapid growth and the evolving demands of e-commerce and B2B markets:
- Meeting High Order Volumes: The fast pace of e-commerce required streamlined logistics to manage high order volumes efficiently and accurately.
- Ensuring Precision: With varying customer profiles, order accuracy became critical to maintaining customer satisfaction.
- Reducing Environmental Impact: Coolshop sought to align its operations with sustainable practices, including reducing packaging waste.
- The previous manual system had become inefficient, and employees were spending too much time looking for items and correcting picking errors
Our Solution
Coolshop partnered with our official partner in the Nordics, Systek Teknik Geek+ and Apport Systems to deploy a fully integrated automation solution that addressed its operational challenges. This included a dual focus on robotics and advanced packing technology.
- Geek+ Robotics and Apport WMS:
Geek+ robotics systems, integrated with Apport WMS, streamlined the picking and packing processes for increased speed and precision. The robots efficiently navigated tasks such as item transport and order consolidation, significantly reducing handling times.
- A fleet of +10 Shelf-To-Person solution
For a B2B and B2C business operations, STL integrated more than 10 P800 robots solutions from the Geekplus' Shelf-To-Person portofolio. The robots make possible to handle 40.000 SKUs in a warheouse of a total of 30,000 sqm.
These technologies worked seamlessly together to create a highly cohesive and efficient operation.
The Geekplus impact
- Enhanced Speed and Precision: Optimized workflows enabled faster order fulfillment with near-perfect accuracy.
- Improved Productivity: Geek+ has made Coolshop's picking process up to four times faster and significantly more efficient.
- Sustainability Gains: By minimizing packaging waste, Coolshop aligned its warehouse operations with its commitment to environmental responsibility.
- Scalability: The robust integration of these solutions ensured that Coolshop’s operations could scale to meet future growth demands with ease.
"We have chosen to work with Geek+ because it is scalable and a standard solution. I usually say that it is a plug-and-play solution. It was pretty quick to set it up, and it can be scaled up without a lot of hassle [...]. We have integrated it with our Apport solution."
