Case Study: BraForMe achieves lean, scalable warehouse growth with Descartes Peoplevox

BraForMe cuts fulfillment from all-day to one operator with Peoplevox

BraForMe, a UK-based online retailer of women's underwear, faced significant operational challenges as it grew. Selling across multiple international ecommerce marketplaces, the company struggled with manual inventory management that was error-prone and could not keep stock levels synchronized across its sales channels. This process was incredibly time-consuming, creating eight hours of work to process just 100 orders. To support lean growth, BraForMe needed a scalable solution and turned to Descartes Peoplevox for its warehouse management system.

By implementing Descartes Peoplevox, BraForMe revolutionized its fulfillment operation with scan-driven picking and packing. The results were immediate, allowing one operator to easily manage what previously took a full day. The system provided accurate, real-time inventory data, which helped optimize purchasing and even led to the discovery of 10-20% more stock. The Peoplevox-powered warehouse enabled the small team to process a high volume of orders, supporting month-over-month growth of 20-70% and helping the business achieve half a million pounds in monthly turnover. Furthermore, the speed and accuracy impressed marketplace partners like Amazon, leading to better product placement and increased sales.
