Fast-growing tech-led 3PL expands operations
Selazar has opened a flagship warehouse in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The new warehouse will see the UK-based tech company increase its reach to all areas of the country.
Selazar, which was founded in Belfast and also has offices in London and Birmingham, has been on a solid growth trajectory since its launch in 2019. The company has developed a proprietary eCommerce fulfilment platform and primarily services medium sized and bespoke retailers throughout the UK.
The warehouse is designed for high-speed, high-volume operations and is already demonstrating its capabilities. In the initial test phase, pick time was reduced by 20% within 30 days of the commencement of operations. Peak output volume for the facility is 250,000 orders per month and 1,000,000 picks per month at full speed.
Selazar CEO Jack Williams said: “Our new state-of-the-art warehouse marks an important milestone in our ability to provide fast and innovative fulfilment services throughout the UK. As we push to bring turnaround times lower and lower, we are constantly working to optimise our performance. At the Nuneaton warehouse we’ve managed to turn orders around in less than 30 minutes. Our new target is sub 15-minutes. As an emerging start-up being recognised within the tech eCommerce space, Selazar is proud to bring 75 new jobs to the local community in the near future.”
The flagship setup was completed in record time, only two weeks to fully prep the site for change over. Using a tech-first approach, Selazar successfully migrated to the new site without interrupting service. The new site will become home to a technology innovation centre where product lines and new start-ups can benefit from market beating technology while they build pipelines and scale their business.
Selazar customer Will Duffield, CEO & founder of retailer Starwood Sports said: “Selazar has been an ideal partner for Starwood Sports, in both optimising our customer experience and distribution costs. The team understands our business and offers outstanding service that has helped us to grow our business. We’re certain the new Nuneaton warehouse will extend Selazar’s capabilities, which will be to the benefit of us and our customers.”
