Warehouse Automation Tailored for the Fashion and Apparel Industry

Automated Fashion Logistics for a Dynamic Market

While in the past, fashion companies were mainly focused on designing new products and on brand recognition, nowadays, their supply chain has become a crucial part of the strategic development of their fashion logistics.

Supply chain is no longer considered a cost but also plays a key part in helping fashion companies navigate the growing challenges of the industry.

It is leveraged more and more to quickly adapt to constantly evolving market conditions, being a center of excellence that can drive potential growth and customer satisfaction.

Puma’s Logistics Center

“We were coming from a decentralized model with multiple DCs spread across Europe and a separated management of B2B and B2C orders, which was causing issues in terms of inventory and customer service level. Together with TGW Logistics, we designed a centralized omni channel DC capable of sharing products and balancing peak effects between the different channels, optimizing resource utilization, and enabling our distribution network to be a front-runner in supporting our company growth.”

Logistics Director, Puma

Building Adaptable Solutions & Distribution Strategies

At TGW Logistics, we take a holistic approach to the supply chain to help our customers remain competitive in today’s dynamic business context. It is insufficient to focus only on warehouse automation; we also need to consider the unique challenges of fashion logistics and stay abreast of the latest trends.

This is why, on top of having a wide portfolio of solutions for fashion businesses, TGW Logistics supports our customers with a group of industry experts who assist in understanding and selecting the appropriate automation technologies to build adaptable distribution strategies.

Engelbert Strauss’ Logistics Center

“Why have we placed a second major order with TGW Logistics in such a short time? I get asked this question all the time. Because it involves simultaneously modifying the existing system and ensuring that customers continue to be reliably supplied with Strauss products; the planned project is very complex and requires partners who are 100 percent reliable and experienced. Partners who are immersed in the Strauss world and its mindset. We have found this partner in TGW Logistics. That's why we are confident that the project in Biebergemünd will be just as successful as the one in Schlüchtern.”

Navigating a Dynamic Landscape

The fashion industry is a vibrant, ever-evolving market characterized by rapid pace and constant innovation, adding layers of complexity to fashion logistics.

Fashion trends can change overnight, driven by social media and influencers. The industry faces significant challenges in finding skilled labor, intensified by shifting workforce demographics. Additionally, rapid technological advancements require continuous adaptation. There is also a growing demand for eco-friendly, efficient practices.

Tailored Solutions for Fashion Distribution Centers

TGW Logistics is committed to helping businesses address these challenges through our ongoing research into the needs of the fashion industry. We aim to develop and introduce fashion logistics solutions that help our customers navigate the complexities of today’s dynamic business environment.

Automating a distribution center involves integrating various systems and technologies to connect operations from receiving to shipping. We consider the entire end-to-end process to design the best combination of technologies to meet current and future business needs. We tailor our automation solutions to cover any process within the distribution center and integrate the software to coordinate and manage operations.

The Journey to Automation

  • Awareness: In the early phase of the assessment, we work closely with our customers to understand their supply chain strategy and major challenges so we can evaluate how warehouse automation will enhance their operation.
  • Consideration: We compare and evaluate different solutions, considering the impact of automation from a CAPEX perspective and overall benefits. These may include faster order processing, increased channel flexibility, labor reduction, and/or inventory optimization. The solution is aligned with the customer's criteria.
  • Decision: Once the solution is defined, we move into a detailed solution phase, including software specification.
  • Operation: We oversee the entire realization process, with a dedicated on-site team responsible for installation, testing, and ramping up the system. Finally, we offer several options for system maintenance, ranging from remote support to contracts with resident engineers who manage the site's operation and maintenance.
