From moving beyond a manual operation to deploying advanced automation, the series explores how Footasylum, THG Fulfil and AutoStore worked together to build a faster, more flexible fulfilment operation designed for growth. Through the people behind the project, we uncover the strategy, technology and collaboration that made the transformation possible, and what it means for the future of retail fulfilment.
Episode 1: The Transformation Story
Episode 1 takes us back to where it all began, exploring why Footasylum needed to modernise its warehouse operation and how THG Fulfil took its automation capability outside its own network for the first time. From the initial challenges to the partnership behind THG Fulfil’s first external AutoStore deployment, discover how the team created an operation capable of delivering 212% of the previous manual operation’s volume, using just 24 ports instead of around 50 packing benches.
Episode 2: The Technology Behind the Transformation
Episode 2 goes behind the technology, engineering and operational thinking that powers Footasylum’s new fulfilment operation. From THG Fulfil’s proprietary Warehouse Control System to the close collaboration that saw the deployment completed ahead of plan, discover how the technology continues to evolve beyond go-live, enabling greater speed, flexibility, the potential for later cut-offs and the capacity to support future growth and peak demand.
