What You Will Learn

The main goal was to consolidate several warehouses across Europe into this new warehouse which would support it’s retail and e-commerce business. This warehouse would be designed to be Omni-channel from the start. In the past PUMA’s distribution channels were mainly focused on retail and wholesale distribution, but recently e-commerce has gained significant importance. Smaller and more frequent orders have increased the requirements to improve system performance and accuracy of the order fulfillment capabilities. One of the major design criteria for PUMA’s new Omni-channel distribution center was a scalable highly automated solution that can handle all of its channels in a fast and accurate way.
