LONDON, UK and ATLANTA, Dec. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems
Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX: DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-
intensive businesses in commerce, announced that U.K.-based ecommerce brand AYBL
(https://www.beaybl.com/), an innovative online retailer of activewear, has
transformed its warehouse and fulfillment capabilities by replacing paper-based
picking and manual fulfillment practices with Descartes' ecommerce warehouse
management system (WMS). Using the solution to improve picking efficiency and
accuracy, AYBL has doubled its fulfillment capacity with existing staff and can
seamlessly scale to fulfill over 70,000 orders a day during peak season.
"To become a leader in ecommerce within the U.K. you have to deliver on customer
promises and build loyalty, which means you have to be able to rely on your
warehouse and fulfillment capability: every order shipped on time, accurately,
with visibility into the process, easy returns, all on demand and fast," said
Paul Maynard, Head of Operations, AYBL. "With Descartes' ecommerce WMS, we
instantly improved picking accuracy and efficiency and we no longer needed to
keep our warehouse layout in SKU order, which had previously prevented us from
making the best use of available storage capacity. Additionally, the system
scaled easily as we moved multiple times to larger warehouse facilities and,
today, allows us to flex to 100+ people during peak periods and train new staff
within hours, which beforehand would never have been possible."
Part of Descartes' ecommerce solution suite, the Descartes ecommerce WMS helps
direct-to-consumer brands and ecommerce retailers drive significant efficiencies
across order fulfilment 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 Shopify Plus, Brightpearl by Sage, Netsuite
and others, to accelerate implementation and time to value.
"We're pleased to help AYBL scale its fulfillment operations to meet growing
consumer demand for its products and maintain its customer commitment - even at
the height of peak season," said Johannes Panzer, Head of Industry Solutions for
Ecommerce at Descartes. "Our ecommerce WMS is designed for ambitious ecommerce
brands. It empowers them to grow efficiently and reduce fulfillment costs to
achieve more profitable person-to-goods fulfillment operations."
