    Fashion E-fulfilment

    Amethyst is a market leading provider of outsourced e-commerce warehousing and distribution e-fulfilment. Many well known luxury and high street brands’ e-commerce orders are fulfilled by Amethyst. This client has a retail distribution centre which serves their national and international operations effectively. But they needed something different for their e-commerce fulfilment, a proven solution from an experienced logistics provider who could demonstrate accuracy, reliability and scalability.

    SOLUTION:

    We set up a project team to work alongside those of the client and their chosen web store platform. The team consisted of a project sponsor, implementation manager, as well as systems and operations specialists. Together, we specified, developed and tested a robust end to end fulfilment solution operating from our dedicated clothing fulfilment centre near Lichfield in Staffordshire.

    RESULT:

    From day one the transactional website performance smashed all forecasts and expectations. Amethyst had to react quickly to adjust for the unpredicted, but welcome demand for the brand. Within a few hours we had doubled the amount of packing stations as well as operatives on the contract. We consistently exceed all of our agreed service levels.

    Luxury Fashion Multichannel Fulfilment

    Amethyst works with several multi-channel fashion and beauty companies, providing warehousing and distribution for wholesale, retail and e-commerce both domestically and throughout the world. This luxury lingerie client needed a flexible and responsive outsourced logistics provider who could handle large daily volumes of franchise, retail and business to consumer orders domestically and internationally with high levels of accuracy, as well as demonstrated ability to carry out planned and ad hoc quality control services.

    SOLUTION:

    Amethyst put together a project team to examine the client’s requirements and understand the varied nature of the multi-channel international business. They then specified the systems and operational processes required. Working closely with the client and their partners, Amethyst carried out a carefully planned six month implementation and phased handover from the incumbent to make sure the move to Amethyst’s distribution centre in Kent was as smooth as possible

    RESULT:

    The feedback from the client’s headquarters was that most departments didn’t even realise the move had taken place! Through teamwork we have forged a strong partnership which gives the client the freedom to concentrate on their core business while we look after their logistics.
