LEIPZIG, Germany and ATLANTA, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes
Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX: DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-
intensive businesses in commerce, announced that online battery technology and
solutions retailer AkkuShop.de (https://www.akkushop.de/) has increased
fulfillment efficiency by 300% since introducing Descartes' ecommerce warehouse
management system (WMS). The solution optimizes order fulfillment and warehouse
management processes for online sales from the company's extensive product
catalog of over 20,000 items, helping to ensure a high degree of customer
satisfaction.
"The decision to use Descartes' ecommerce WMS as a central software solution has
proven to be essential to our company's success. Together, we have grown
steadily over the last 10 years and have been able to continually optimize our
fulfillment performance along the way," said Alex Müller, CEO of AkkuShop GmbH &
Co. KG. "Regardless of how much we've expanded our product portfolio or grown
our shipping volumes, the Descartes WMS has scaled with us and flexibly adapted
to our business changes. By implementing the solution, we have raised our
overall fulfillment and warehouse performance to new levels, improving
efficiency and accuracy, and allowing us to better serve the increasing demands
of our customers."
Part of Descartes' ecommerce solution suite, the Descartes ecommerce WMS helps
direct-to-consumer brands and ecommerce retailers drive significant efficiencies
across order fulfillment processes to provide a remarkable customer experience.
The solution helps ensure that retailers can ship on time, ship the right items,
not oversell existing inventory, and have transparency into warehouse
operations. Order information is automatically available to be executed via
mobile-driven multi-order pick-and-pack strategies and then fed into Descartes
and third-party parcel shipment systems. The solution is pre-integrated with
major ecommerce platforms, such as Channel Advisor, Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce
and others, to accelerate implementation and time to value.
"We are proud to have supported AkkuShop on its growth path for more than 10
years with our ecommerce WMS solution," explained Dirk Haschke, VP & General
Manager, Ecommerce at Descartes. "The scalability of our ecommerce warehouse
management system ensures that online retailers can optimally design and execute
processes even as order fulfillment requirements increase."
