The stock management software created for the world leading furniture retailer
A multinational furniture and kitchenware store were already using our automated storage towers in their warehouses but wanted to maximise their efficiency and improve their stock management. They realised the importance of understanding purchasing trends and knowing exactly where to store specific items depending on the frequency of picking and volume/popularity of items.

We created brand new stock management software for them that was integrated with their existing software system and soon optimised the capacity of the machinery. Data was reviewed and reports could then be produced on what was best to store higher or lower in the tower (some can be 70 trays high), and taking into account seasonal trends and groupings within trays. This intelligent use of the storage system allowed for faster picking and shorter customer waiting times.

The tale of one of our successes over the years
We were asked to provide intelligent storage for a company who design, supply, and build an extensive range of customised industrial machines. Due to diversity in the specifications, their product offerings are changing all the time and stock can become obsolete as new designs take over. They realised that they needed a better way of managing their inventory, something that could be synchronised with the drawing office, and updated regularly.
Not only were we able to make space for new items but knew when articles were coming to the end of life and could remove them. Best of all, despite the technical complexity of the system, all of these functions were completely transparent to the operators.

Capacity creation for a bathroom retailer
A large bathroom retailer asked us to help them create the capacity to fulfil several online orders simultaneously. The solution also needed to be integrated with their existing warehouse management system and be capable of printing the correct Dymo label for a multiple part order, minimise order picking time and maximise their overall logistical efficiency. We responded by configuring several Tornado towers into one group and creating the software to enable up to ten orders at once, in a way that meant the operator could move seamlessly from one highlighted section of a tray to the next.

The Click & Collect solution provided for a globally recognised, leading furniture and home goods retailer
One of our key customers approached us, seeking a robust Click & Collect solution to meet the growing demands of their customers. To address their e-commerce needs, our specialist research and development team designed and installed two innovative circular trolley storage machines, that can each hold up to 56 trolleys at once.
These machines were seamlessly integrated into the retailer’s existing network, ensuring a smooth and intuitive user experience. The solution streamlined their operations, enabling faster pickups and reducing customer wait times. As a result, the retailer not only enhanced customer satisfaction but also improved their overall operational efficiency. This partnership highlights our ability to deliver tailored solutions that align with client goals and market demands.

The rising demand for upgrading existing vertical lift machines
As part of our commitment to long-term customer support, in 2023 we launched a campaign to upgrade all existing vertical lift machines that we had installed in the field that had reached a maturity of 10 years. These upgrades are designed to extend the lifespan of the machines, enhance reliability, and ensure optimal performance over time without the need to ever replace your machine.
While executing this initiative, we have also seen a significant increase in inquiries from new customers seeking similar upgrades for their own machines. Our expertise in upgrading machines ensures minimal disruption to operations while delivering long-term benefits. This campaign reflects our dual focus on supporting clients seeking reliable upgrade solutions, as well as substantially reducing the waste that would otherwise arise from decommissioning machines.
