Case study
Scaling omnichannel retail at Ernsting’s family
Discover how we built one of Europe’s largest automated carton warehouses for Ernsting’s family, a leading omnichannel textile retailer with approximately 2,000 stores.
Specializing in fashion and accessories, they required a system capable of handling 800,000 delivery items per day. This 15-aisle Miniload system, featuring 290,000 storage locations, is managed by a Körber-executed SAP EWM solution. By integrating SAP MFS for real-time control, we provided the scalability needed to master high-volume retail growth.
