Avanta Complete Multi-Storage
Equipment Project For Up & Coming
Multi-Channel Clothing Retailer
A prominent retailer acquired a new
90,000 sq ft warehouse to support an
ambitious growth plan. The company
already operate a number of websites in
various different languages, shipping to
over 90 countries.
They have over 140 stores across the
UK, 12 in the Middle East. The business
Peterborough.
The new 90,000 ft warehouse houses
the customer service department and
under one roof. The logistics operation
is to service the requirements of the
stores and the growing demand from
the Internet.
Avanta were invited in to discuss
equipping the warehouse with storage
equipment to not only satisfy today’s
demand but to future proof the
warehouse. The solution included; -
Fire Rated Mezzanine Floor
Dismantle & Relocate existing
longspan shelving and provide 2300
new mesh decks to store BDC Boxes
Supply & build New Longspan
shelving and integrate existing
shelving. Supply of timber decks
Supply and build of 300 bays of
“Returns shelving” giving circa 25,000
locations for packets.
This rolled edge shelving system with
multi drop in dividers creates the
compartments for the returned packet.
Many Internet clothing retailers expect
return rates of between 20 and 40%.
Over recent years Avanta UK have
worked closely with many retailers in
the design, supply and installation of
‘returns shelving systems’. The idea is
to provide a separate returns facility
with numerous locations to house
returned goods rather than the goods
having to go back into the general
palletised or bulk stock.
Each pick face within the shelving
system has a barcode location that
is scanned when the item has been
returned. This links into the warehouse
management system and the retailer
knows that it has the item back in stock
and exactly where the item is located.
The next time the item is ordered the
picker will pick it from the returned
stock in the shelving system rather than
the bulk location etc.
