Space for fashion storage almost doubled
After only one year of cooperation, Arvato and Guess have enlarged the warehouse at Clip Group's logistics park in Jasin near Poznan, Poland, from 20,000 sqm to 32,000 sqm.
The expansion project was fully complete within three months and increased storage capacity significantly from 960,000 to 1.6 million fashion articles. The additional space was used to create a larger returns processing area and more storage for hanging and flat garments, and then adapted to accommodate increased shipping volumes.
Through the use of additional pack stations and application of the "travelling salesman problem" – an algorithmic problem tasked with finding the shortest route between a set of points – the warehouse is now ideally set to optimise product storage and packaging, Arvato said. Thanks to these improvements, turnover capacity for the entire logistics centre has significantly increased.
As part of its portfolio in Jasin near Poznań, Arvata provides fulfilment services for Guess, which include warehousing, picking and packing of orders, returns management, and value -added Services. (ben)
