Warehouse Automation
Smarter Fulfilment, Powered by Real-World Expertise
Power your growth with warehouse automation solutions designed and operated by experts who run them at global scale every day. We deploy the same AutoStore, Geek+, and Libiao Robotics in our own fulfilment centres as those we use to drive industry-leading performance for our clients.
We Are Your Partner, Not Just a Provider
Choosing the right partner for your warehouse automation strategy plays a pivotal role in your success. You need a provider that has lived your operational challenges and solved them. As the only automation distributor that is also an active end-user of this technology at a global scale, we offer more than just hardware. We provide a proven playbook for success.
A Smarter, Safer Investment
With over £70 million invested in our own automation, we’ve perfected real-world deployment and refined every stage of implementation. As a result, you bypass the costly trial-and-error phase and fast-track proven, repeatable success.
Accelerate Your Go-Live
In-house project teams manage the entire rollout. Libiao deployed in as little as 2-3 weeks. AutoStore systems from order to commissioned in under 5 months.
Proven Efficiency Uplift
77% combined improvement in labour costs over 3 years across our own facilities. The system paid back 3x over.
Flexible Investment Models
From full CapEx investment or Robots as a Service (RaaS) Opex, we offer flexible ways to introduce automation without heavy upfront barriers.
Finding the Right Fit for Your Business
Different warehouse automation technologies are designed to solve different operational challenges. Whether you are addressing labour constraints, space limitations, peak trading pressure, or long-term network scalability, selecting the right combination of automation is critical.
We design the right combination of robotics and software that maximises productivity and matches your growth trajectory.

System Uptime
AutoStore is a cube-based automated storage and retrieval system designed to maximise warehouse space while delivering high-speed goods-to-person picking.
By storing inventory in a dense grid and delivering goods directly to operators, AutoStore eliminates manual pick walks and enables highly efficient pick-and-pack workflows. The system supports exceptional stock accuracy through fully scanned inventory movements, reducing the need for traditional cycle counting.
With modular design and scalable capacity, additional robots, ports or bins can be added without disrupting operations, allowing automation to grow alongside demand.
Today, more than 1,300 AutoStore systems are deployed globally, trusted by leading retail and ecommerce brands.

Efficiency vs Manual Processes
Libiao’s T-Sorter technology delivers high-speed robotic sortation designed to increase outbound capacity in high-volume fulfilment environments.
Using modular autonomous robots operating across a grid-based sorting platform, Libiao systems enable flexible batch sizing and direct-to-destination sorting. This allows more items to be picked per bin presentation, significantly increasing overall system throughput.
The modular architecture allows deployments to scale quickly, with installations completed in as little as 2-3 weeks and minimal infrastructure changes required.
THG Fulfil’s Libiao integration has increased outbound capacity by 25%, enabling system throughput capable of reaching up to 1 million units per day.

Global Customers
Geek+ autonomous mobile robots enable highly flexible goods-to-person warehouse operations, reducing manual travel time and increasing picking efficiency across dynamic fulfilment environments.
Designed for adaptable layouts and evolving SKU profiles, Geek+ systems support a wide range of storage configurations, from hanging garments and pallet bases to multi-shelf rack structures, allowing automation to be tailored to the specific needs of each operation.
By increasing the number of SKUs accessible within a single presentation and minimising unnecessary storage movements, Geek+ robotics help improve throughput while maintaining high picking accuracy.
Robots as a Service (RaaS): World-Class Automation Without the CapEx
Warehouse automation does not always require large upfront capital investment.
For organisations seeking greater flexibility, our Robots as a Service (RaaS) model allows automated warehouse robots to be deployed through a scalable commercial structure.
- Reduced upfront CapEx
- Predictable operating costs
- Scalable robot capacity during peak demand
- Phased deployment that reduces operational risk
This ensures automation investment aligns with operational growth.
Continuously Optimised by Our Proprietary WCS
Automation hardware alone does not unlock full performance.
Our warehouse automation environments are continuously optimised through our proprietary Warehouse Control System, refining robot routing, SKU placement, batch logic and throughput strategies across live operations.
