Wholesale Fulfilment – Efficient, Automated and Scalable

Broad product ranges, fluctuating order volumes and increasing cost pressure continuously present major challenges for wholesale fulfilment. At the same time, product availability, speed and process reliability must be maintained at all times.

With our 3D shuttle storage solution, you can automate your warehouse logistics, reduce manual workloads and create a scalable foundation for efficient growth.

Wholesale Fulfilment: Meeting Growing Demands

High SKU diversity, increasing delivery pressure and limited resources are creating growing challenges for wholesale warehouses. The key is to establish processes that remain efficient, flexible and scalable.

Efficiently Managing High SKU Diversity

Wholesale warehouses often need to manage thousands of different items with varying dimensions, packaging types and turnover rates. Flexible storage structures help make better use of available capacity while efficiently accommodating diverse product ranges.

Ensuring Short Delivery Times

High product availability is an important competitive factor in wholesale. Automated goods movements shorten lead times and ensure that required items are available quickly and reliably.

Managing Order Peaks Flexibly

Seasonal fluctuations or sudden increases in order volumes can quickly push manual processes to their limits. Scalable automation enables warehouse performance to be flexibly adapted to changing order volumes.

Full Reducing Labour Costs and Errors

Long walking distances, manual transport and time-consuming search processes tie up personnel and increase the risk of errors. Automated workflows reduce the workload for your employees, minimise manual goods movements and improve process reliability.

Automated Fulfilment Processes for Wholesale

Our automated 3D shuttle solution connects all key warehouse processes from inbound to outbound. Data capture, storage, picking and shipping work seamlessly together.

Inbound: Automated Goods Receipt

Right from the inbound stage, 3D scanning technology creates a precise data foundation for all subsequent processes. Relevant product data is captured automatically and used to determine optimal storage.

‍Your benefits:
- Automatic capture of dimensions, weight and barcodes
- Additional capture of serial numbers, expiry dates or batch data
- Space-efficient allocation of suitable storage locations
- Fewer manual entries and errors

Outbound: Fast Shipping Processes

In the outbound process, the system delivers the required goods directly to packing or shipping stations. Depending on the level of automation, additional process steps can be integrated directly.

‍Possible functions include:
- Automated consolidation
- Quantity and weight checks
- Labelling and packaging
- Targeted provision of goods for shipping

This keeps material flows stable even at high order volumes and enables orders to reach the shipping stage faster.

Efficient Storage and Inventory Management

Storage location allocation is based on the actual requirements of the goods. This enables you to use available space efficiently and avoid rigid storage structures.

Digital inventory and movement data provide transparency across stored items. Interfaces also enable the system to be integrated into existing WMS and ERP environments.

Fast and Error-Free Order Picking

The system automatically transports required items to the picking station. The shuttles handle transport routes, reducing walking distances and manual search processes.

This accelerates order processing, reduces the risk of errors and increases throughput – even for complex wholesale orders.

The Benefits of Automated Wholesale Fulfilment

Automation needs to deliver economic value. Our 3D shuttle system therefore addresses the areas where conventional wholesale warehouses most frequently reach their limits:

Shorter lead times: Automated goods movements accelerate storage, picking and order provision.

Higher throughput: Parallel shuttle movements support the processing of increasing order volumes.

Reduced labour requirements: Walking, searching and transport distances are significantly reduced.

Fewer picking errors: Automated goods provision improves process reliability.

Better use of space: Flexible storage locations reduce unused storage space.

Greater scalability: Storage capacity and system performance can be expanded as demand grows.

Fulfilment Solutions for Different Wholesale Business Models

The requirements of a wholesale warehouse vary depending on the product range. The key is therefore to implement automation that is not limited to a single product type.

Technical Wholesale and Spare Parts Distribution

A wide range of items, varying dimensions, and high availability requirements demand flexible storage and retrieval processes. A 3D shuttle storage system enables space-saving storage and ensures that required spare parts are quickly available for picking.

Electrical and Tool Wholesale

Handling many small to medium-sized items and multi-line orders places high demands on picking speed and inventory visibility. Automated processes, such as those used in production logistics, reduce travel time and accelerate the provision of goods.

Consumer Goods and FMCG Wholesale

High turnover rates and large daily order volumes require efficient material flow and short lead times. Scalable FMCG logistics help to reliably manage seasonal peaks and ensure consistent delivery capability.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Wholesale

Process reliability, traceability, and reliable inventory management are the primary focus here. Digitally managing logistics processes creates transparency regarding stock levels and goods movements while supporting seamless documentation.

Food and Beverage Wholesale

High inventory turnover, diverse packaging units, and sensitive product data require flexible warehouse structures. Automated food logistics support fast turnaround times and reliable traceability of goods and batches.

Automating Wholesale Fulfilment in Existing Warehouses

Automation does not have to start with a new building. We also design our modular system for existing warehouse structures and brownfield projects.

We take existing buildings, material flows and IT systems into account. This allows you to develop your automation step by step and align investments with your actual requirements.

Your Path to Automated Wholesale Fulfilment

Our proven three-phase process takes you from data-driven analysis to the scalable operation of your automated wholesale warehouse.

1. Analysis & Concept

We analyse your processes, product ranges, order structures and warehouse space and use these insights to develop a tailored automation concept.

✔ Data-driven, simulation-based and ROI-focused

2. Implementation & Integration

We plan and install the required components and integrate the system into your existing warehouse and IT environment.

✔ Seamless integration instead of a complex system replacement

3. Operate & Scale

Following commissioning, we support you with training, service and flexible expansion options.

✔ Scalable performance for growing fulfilment requirements
