Case Study: Courtaulds achieves faster, more accurate deliveries and lower costs with Infor Supply Chain Execution (Infor)

Courtaulds improves delivery with Infor Supply Chain Execution

Courtaulds UK, a leading apparel supplier operating a 4,500-SKU distribution center at Loscoe, was constrained by an old legacy warehouse system that limited flexibility, slowed turnaround, and reduced stock visibility—hindering its ability to handle large private-label bulk orders alongside varied branded and online orders. Management sought a new warehousing application to improve picking flexibility, space utilization, accuracy, and customer service while reducing reliance on specialist knowledge.

Courtaulds chose Infor Supply Chain Execution and rolled it out in phases, integrating it with Infor BPCS and emphasizing training and process design. The solution streamlined bulk and mixed-order picking, enabled cycle counting, improved pick-face transfers and order tracking, and reduced headcount and distribution costs—delivering faster delivery, 99.7% bulk-pick accuracy, greater stock visibility, and the capacity to act as a 3PL for other brands.
