Retail Fashion Automation-Ready WMS Drives 31% Cost Reduction and 3x Putaway Velocity

About the Client

The client is a fast-growing apparel retailer operating 22 distribution centers across multiple regions. Disconnected systems, manual workflows, and limited automation capabilities were impacting fulfillment speed and cost efficiency. The organization needed a modern warehouse management platform that could unify operations and support robotics-driven automation. To enable this transformation, the retailer partnered with Zymr.

Key Outcomes

31% Reduction in Fulfillment Costs
3x Improvement in Putaway Velocity

Business Challenges

The retailer operated across 22 DCs with fragmented systems, resulting in inconsistent processes and limited visibility into inventory and operations. Manual workflows slowed down receiving, putaway, and order fulfillment, increasing operational costs and errors.

Existing warehouse systems were not designed to support robotics or automation, preventing the adoption of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and intelligent workflows. Yard and dock management processes were also inefficient, leading to delays and congestion during peak periods.

The lack of real-time data and orchestration made it difficult to optimize labor, improve throughput, and scale operations efficiently. The retailer required a cloud-native, automation-ready WMS to streamline operations, enable robotics, and improve overall warehouse performance.
