Deal with outbound and return

The fashion industry is experiencing consistent growth, primarily driven by eCommerce. As a result, omnichannel operations supporting both retail and eCommerce are now increasingly common in fashion logistics operations.

However, volatility in demand places strain on the supply chain. Additionally, B2B has different fulfilment requirements compared to B2C. Consumer behaviour is also changing with returns increasing as consumers buy several items to try on and returning those that don’t fit.

BEUMER Group’s Pouch System provides the solution. The specialised technology is capable of loading, transporting, sorting, sequencing, and unloading items automatically. Both outbound and return items can be accommodated in the system, which significantly simplifies the eCommerce fulfilment process. A dynamic buffer stores the pouches until they are assigned to an order. Once assigned they move to a batch buffer before being released for sorting and sequencing.

The BG Pouch Sorter minimises touches, thus reducing labour costs and improving turnaround times. The AutoDrop feature enables automated unloading from pouches into packaging, further reducing the touch points and saving space and time in the packing lanes. This automated process ensures that heavier items are sequenced first to prevent damage to items during packaging.

Besides providing the pouch sorter technology, BEUMER Group can help to deploy the technology in line with your specific needs. This partnership approach ensures the best possible outcome for companies in the omnichannel fashion logistics space.
