Warehouse
Central warehouse location with over 600 m2
GalXBoy, a South African streetwear brand inspired by youth street culture, has been making waves in the E-Commerce world since opening their Shopify store two years ago. They operate from a 600 square meter warehouse with over 1500 SKUs, catering to a rapidly growing customer base.
- Managing Diverse SKUs and Seasonal Demand
In the fashion industry, managing a wide range of SKUs is a common challenge. Each season brings new collections, leading to fluctuating demand and inventory complexities. For GalXBoy, this meant constantly adapting their inventory management processes to accommodate new products and trends.
- Scaling Operations with Increasing Order Volumes
As GalXBoy’s popularity soared, so did their order volumes. Initially manageable with manual processes, the surge in orders soon overwhelmed their warehouse operations. Scaling operations to meet this growing demand required a more robust and efficient system to maintain customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
- Handling Returns
Returns are a notorious challenge in the fashion industry, often due to size and style preferences. Managing returns efficiently is crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty, but without an optimized system, it became a daunting task. GalXBoy needed a solution that could streamline returns and improve their overall customer experience.
