Client Success Case Study

Powering Speed, Flexibility, and Increased Capacity for Fashion Footwear Company

A publicly traded fashion footwear leader needed to further increase speed, flexibility, and capacity in its operations. Each season they were adding new SKUs, creating inventory storage capacity issues. Additionally, growing omni-channel order volume accelerated the need for higher throughput capacity.

The client partnered with FORTNA for a complex retrofit of two highly automated omni channel distribution centers simultaneously. The newly retrofitted DCs allow for faster order processing, reducing by 20-25% the time to process orders for retail stores and increasing by 60-65% the processing speed for direct-to-consumer orders. The DCs are designed to support 20-25% growth in units, 35-40% increase in SKU count, and 65-70% increase in storage capacity. Operational efficiencies helped reduce cost per pair by 30-35%.

Data-Driven

Scientifically proven proprietary modeling tools and algorithms allow FORTNA to design for maximum efficiency and outcomes.
