Case Study: THG cuts costs 40% and achieves 2-year ROI with AutoStore

THG Achieves Industry-Leading Customer Service, and Lower Costs, with High-Throughput AutoStore

The Hut Group (THG), a global e-commerce technology and fulfillment company, faced rising labor costs, a lack of warehousing space, and the need to push its performance to new heights. To address this, THG partnered with vendor AutoStore to implement their warehouse automation system at its Manchester distribution center.

AutoStore implemented a large-scale grid system with 380 robots and over 300,000 bins, designed for high-throughput picking and seamless integration with THG's software. The results were exceptional: THG achieved a 40% reduction in labor costs, a 1.2 million daily SKU throughput, and an industry-leading average delivery time of 1.45 days. AutoStore's solution delivered a full return on investment within two years and provided the scalability to handle a wider range of products.
