Case Study: Footshop boosts sneaker fulfillment with AutoStore

Footshop boosts sneaker fulfillment with AutoStore’s 52,600-bin warehouse

Footshop, a leading European retailer of sneakers and streetwear, faced challenges scaling its e-commerce fulfillment. As its online demand and product range grew, the company needed a logistics operation that could increase productivity, reduce manual handling, and keep pace with its expansion. To meet this need, Footshop partnered with vendor AutoStore for its first major warehouse automation project, which had to be installed without disrupting daily operations.

AutoStore implemented a high-density automated storage and retrieval system using bins and robots. The solution, empowered by partner Kardex, included 24 robots and over 52,000 bins to store thousands of footwear SKUs in a fraction of the former space. The system streamlined order fulfillment by bringing bins directly to operators at workstations, significantly increasing efficiency and reducing manual labor. This scalable AutoStore platform transformed Footshop's warehouse into a fast and efficient operation built for continued growth.
