The Avonmouth facility, which stores over 12,500 different products, now benefits from enhanced operational flexibility, improved safety, and increased order fulfilment accuracy, enabling timely delivery and greater availability for both B2B and B2C customers.

The project was carried out together with Geekplus' valued partner AMH Material Handling, whose expertise in warehouse integration ensured seamless connectivity between systems. By installing state-of-the-art conveyor systems, all processes from goods-in to goods-out are connected. Their contribution guarantees the efficiency and reliability of the entire operation, maximizing the benefits of automation for Nisbets.
