Case Study: Carhartt WIP achieves highly automated, high-throughput e-commerce fulfillment with SSI Schaefer

Carhartt WIP processes 70,000 orders a day with SSI Schaefer

The global fashion retailer Carhartt WIP, working with a third-party logistics provider (3PL), faced the challenge of supporting its rapidly growing e-commerce business. They needed a partner to implement a new, highly automated logistics center in Poland on a tight schedule to ensure fast, error-free order processing and efficient returns handling. They partnered with SSI SCHAEFER for an intralogistics solution.

SSI SCHAEFER implemented a complex system featuring the SSI Carrier pouch sorter at its heart, along with carton conveying systems and an SSI Miniload small parts storage system. The solution, managed by WAMAS logistics software, processes 70,000 orders daily and has achieved peak performances of 600,000 items. The system guarantees 99% availability and allows for future expansion, enabling Carhartt WIP to achieve a higher throughput than originally planned.
