Case Study: Cutter & Buck achieves record sales and faster fulfillment with AutoStore

Cutter & Buck Achieves Record Sales with AutoStore

Cutter & Buck, a retail sportswear company, faced a significant logistics challenge as its growth and expanding inventory threatened to overwhelm its labor-intensive and inefficient fulfillment process. The company needed a scalable automation solution to handle rising demand, especially for same-day shipping of blank garments and rapid turnaround for customized orders. To address this, they turned to vendor AutoStore for its automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS).

AutoStore implemented a system featuring a Grid with 54 Red Line Robots and 36,000 Bins, which was integrated by partner Kardex. The solution dramatically increased speed and efficiency, enabling the company to fulfill blank orders in less than 10 minutes and customized orders within 25 hours. The results were exceptional: Cutter & Buck achieved its largest and most profitable fourth quarter in its 35-year history, required 60% fewer peak-season staff, and gained perfect inventory visibility with 99% accuracy, all thanks to the AutoStore system.
