Case Study: Boohoo boosts warehouse capacity and fulfilment with SSI Schaefer automation

Boohoo - Customer Case Study

Boohoo, a UK-based online fashion retailer, faced significant supply chain pressures due to rapid growth and the need to meet high customer fulfillment expectations. Their manually-operated distribution center in Sheffield lacked the necessary capacity and efficiency. To address this challenge, Boohoo partnered with vendor SSI Schaefer to retrofit the facility with state-of-the-art automation for intake, order processing, and shipping.

SSI Schaefer implemented a solution featuring goods-to-person technology and a pouch sortation system. This retrofit from SSI Schaefer resulted in a substantial increase in both stockholding and order throughput capacity for Boohoo. The project also delivered major improvements in operational efficiency, service accuracy, and colleague health & safety, providing a competitive advantage and supporting the company's continued growth trajectory.
