Case Study: LOVESPACE achieves scalable growth and resilient, always-on operations with Aptum

Lovespace has been collecting and taking care of hundreds of thousands of items since 2012

LOVESPACE, the UK’s first “storage by the box” service founded in 2012, stores and manages hundreds of thousands of customer items and has rapidly expanded into student partnerships and e-fulfillment. Its bespoke technology (scanning, scheduling, order management) underpins on-demand collection and delivery, but seasonal peaks and rapid growth created scale, availability and security challenges — so LOVESPACE turned to Aptum for a robust hosting partner and managed hosting solutions.

Aptum delivered scalable hosting and managed services (colocation, cloud, failover/disaster recovery, DDoS protection and 24/7 support) from its data-center network, enabling LOVESPACE to handle traffic surges, support a doubling of business year-on-year and maintain continuous service. The result: reliable, always-available infrastructure that preserves next-day nationwide pickups and supports rapid revenue growth (from about £300k to £2.4M over three years), with Aptum’s services cited as essential to LOVESPACE’s ability to scale and protect its operations.
