ANNOUNCEMENT: OUR NEW 3PL WAREHOUSE
London, 26 May 2021: Rapidly growing eCommerce fulfilment company PaakPOD has announced the expansion of its operations, with the opening of a new state-of-the-art flagship 3pl warehouse in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The new warehouse will see the UK-based tech company increase its reach to all areas of the country via this prime geographical location.
PaakPOD, which was founded in Belfast and also has offices in London and Birmingham, has been on a solid growth trajectory since its launch in 2019. The company has developed a highly innovative proprietary eCommerce fulfilment platform and primarily services medium-sized and bespoke retailers throughout the UK.
The new flagship 3pl warehouse offers the UK’s most accurate fulfilment service.
It is designed for high-speed, high-volume operations and is already demonstrating its capabilities. In the initial test phase, pick time was reduced by 20 percent within 30 days of the commencement of operations. Peak output volume for the facility is 250,000 orders per month and 1,000,000 picks per month at full speed.
Commenting on the opening of the new warehouse, Jack Williams, CEO of PaakPOD said: “Our new state-of-the-art warehouse marks an important milestone in our ability to provide fast and innovative fulfilment services throughout the UK. As we push to bring turnaround times lower and lower, we are constantly working to optimise our performance. At the Nuneaton warehouse, we’ve managed to turn orders around in less than 30 minutes. Our new target is sub-15-minutes. As an emerging start-up being recognised within the tech eCommerce space, PaakPOD is proud to bring 75 new jobs to the local community in the near future. “
The flagship 3pl warehouse setup was completed in record time, only two weeks to fully prep the site for change over. PaakPOD successfully migrated to the new site using our tech-first approach without interrupting our partner’s service. The new site will become home to a technology innovation centre where product lines and new start-ups can benefit from market-beating technology while they build pipelines and scale their business.
The start of an explosive expansion journey began right here in Nuneaton. The lessons learned and success of onboarding this site will form the base plan for PaakPOD’s expansion across the UK, EU and the Globe.
PaakPOD customer Will Duffield CEO & Founder, Starwood Sports – a UK-based retailer of premium products for recreational sports said: “PaakPOD has been an ideal partner for Starwood Sports, in both optimising our customer experience and distribution costs. The team understands our business and offers outstanding service that has helped us to grow our business. We’re certain the new Nuneaton warehouse will extend PaakPOD’s capabilities, which will benefit us and our customers.”
