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 centre of excellence that can drive potential growth and customer satisfaction.

Puma’s Logistics Center

“We were coming from a decentralised 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 omnichannel DC capable of sharing products and balancing peak effects between the different channels, optimising resource utilisation, 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 Centre

“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 characterised by its rapid pace and continuous innovation—factors that add considerable complexity to fashion logistics.

Trends can shift overnight, often influenced by social media and key opinion leaders. At the same time, the industry is grappling with a shortage of skilled labour, exacerbated by changing workforce demographics. Rapid technological advancements demand constant adaptation, while increasing pressure for sustainable and efficient practices continues to reshape operational priorities.

Tailored Solutions for Fashion Distribution Centers

TGW Logistics is dedicated to supporting businesses in overcoming the challenges of the fashion industry through continuous research and innovation. Our goal is to develop advanced logistics solutions that empower our customers to navigate the complexities of today’s fast-paced, ever-changing environment.

Automating a distribution center means more than just implementing machines—it requires the seamless integration of technologies that connect every step of the operation, from receiving to shipping. We take a holistic, end-to-end approach to design the optimal combination of automation and software tailored to current demands and future growth. Our solutions are fully customizable and include intelligent software that orchestrates and streamlines all distribution center processes.

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 various solutions, considering the impact of automation from a CAPEX perspective and overall benefits. These may include faster order processing, increased channel flexibility, labour reduction, and/or inventory optimisation. 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 realisation 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.
