Fashion Retailer SportSpar.de Dramatically Increases Order Fulfillment Productivity with Descartes Ecommerce Warehouse Management System
13 October 2021 - 9:45PM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX: DSG), the global
leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce,
announces that the German fashion retailer SportSpar.de has
increased its ability to ship customer orders by 500% without
increasing resources using Descartes’ cloud-based ecommerce
warehouse management solution (WMS). The move from manual
single-order-fulfillment to technology-based highly efficient and
optimized multi-order-picking processes dramatically boosted the
retailer’s number of shipments per day.
"We mainly sell remaining stock and previous year's collections
of well-known brands and have successfully placed ourselves in a
niche with this business model," says Aleksandr Borisenko, one of
the two founders and Managing Directors of SportSpar.de. "Early on,
we realized that our manual, inefficient order fulfillment
processes were limiting growth. Descartes’ automated fulfillment
processes work well, are simple, and can help us expand our product
catalogue as much as we want. Since implementation, we’ve scaled
our processes, purchased a higher number of products and shipped
substantially more customer orders."
Part of Descartes’ ecommerce shipping and fulfillment suite, the
Descartes ecommerce WMS solution helps direct-to-consumer brands,
ecommerce retailers, and traditional retailers rapidly scale while
providing a remarkable end-customer experience. The solution helps
ensure that clients can ship on time, ship the right items, do not
oversell existing inventory, and have transparency into warehouse
operations. The Descartes ecommerce WMS solution is pre-integrated
to major ecommerce platforms to accelerate implementation and
time-to-value. Order information is automatically available, and
fulfillment is managed via mobile device-based workflows.
"We’re very pleased to have supported SportSpar.de in the
successful expansion of their business,” said Dirk Haschke, VP
& General Manager, Ecommerce at Descartes. "Our solution offers
flexible and scalable processes that take retailers' ecommerce
warehouse performance to the next level. The deployment at
SportSpar.de is an excellent example of how system-supported,
automated order fulfillment enables ecommerce companies to gain
control of their operations, improve productivity and grow
successfully."
