Preparing for peak season

Automated logistics solutions provider TGW is extending the logistics centre of Bestseller, the Danish multi-label fashion retailer and one of Europe’s largest clothing companies.

In 2009 TGW first installed an automated solution inside the distribution centre in Haderslev, Denmark. To accommodate a growing product range and to prepare for peak summer volumes, Bestseller is again optimising its on-site logistics processes.

The extension takes place in two phases. In spring, the never-out-of-stock (NOOS) area was extended in order to prepare for Bestseller’s peak season. Here, TGW has installed four more of its Commissioner automated storage and retrieval (AS/R) machines to optimise the existing 12 machines.

In the second phase, the existing installation will be expanded with a comprehensive conveying system alongside 17 additional aisles with 420,000 storage positions.
