Apparel and footwear
Apparel and footwear distribution has many SKUs per style (sizes and colours), strong seasons and a high share of returns. These are the usual tasks in e-commerce and store distribution for this industry.
Typical tasks
- Batch picking and splitting items into e-commerce orders
- Allocating replenishment to stores
- Scanning returns item by item and putting them back to stock
- Storing large seasonal volumes of cases
What to send us: Number of SKUs including sizes and colours, orders per day and at peak, items per order, the share of returns, and how items are packed (bags, boxes).
Common questions
Can bagged garments go through the sorting equipment?
Most put walls and sorters can handle bagged items, but bag size, weight and barcode position affect reading and putting, so it is confirmed by testing with samples.
How are returns handled?
A common approach is to scan each returned item and sort it by status, back to stock or to a holding area, then return it to tote storage. The equipment mix is assessed from the returns volume.
