Careers
Spartoo, a European leader in online shoe sales, will expand its distribution center in Saint Quentin Fallavier (near Lyon, France) equipped with racks with walkways. Its objective is to boost its storage capacity and prepare a greater number of orders. With this future expansion, Spartoo will increase its warehouse space to accommodate approximately 400,000 items.
The new, 33-foot tall racks will include raised walkways that make up three storage levels in addition to the ground floor. This solution leverages the building’s height to maximize the available space and obtain higher capacity in the same area. The picking shelves, which provide direct access to all the SKUs, will streamline processes related to order prep.
This is the fourth time Spartoo has relied on Mecalux’s storage systems to enhance its installations. Over the last five years, the two warehouses at Spartoo’s distribution center have been fitted out with two platforms with walkways, picking shelves and box conveyor systems.
For several years, we’ve been developing a range of logistics and transportation services on behalf of third parties. Currently, we’re able to support a company in all its logistics and transportation operations. We’re also taking on a new customer a month at present. In addition, Spartoo is continuing to expand, with the acquisition of new brands: GBB, Little Mary, Easy Peasy, etc. The goal of the new platform with walkways designed by Mecalux is to increase our capacity to house approximately 400,000 items belonging to our customers and the new brands.
