Orn International introduces new warehouse management system

Snapfulfil will help Orn International to grow and develop as a business

Workwear wholesaler, Orn International has successfully gone live with the Snapfulfil Cloud warehouse management system.

The company operates a 55,000sq ft warehouse in Buckingham which ships in the region of 10,000 garments per day, all despatched for next day delivery by midday. With multiple size and colour options for many products, the warehouse currently stocks in excess of 7,000 SKUs.

Having used various 3PLs for fulfilment, Orn insourced the operation and began using a paper-based system to manage the warehouse. However, the team quickly realised that a more sophisticated system was required to drive improvements in inventory management and efficiency, while handling the complexity and growth in the operation.

Following a review of four possible WMS vendors, Orn determined that Snapfulfil met its requirements for both functionality and affordability.

Orn’s financial director, Cameron Tunley, said: “The combination of functional sophistication, strong integration capabilities and the quality and commitment of its project management and implementation resources were all impressive and gave us absolute confidence in Snapfulfil. Their No Capex, pay monthly business model was also attractive to us.

“Ours is a highly competitive market which operates on tight margins, so running a lean and efficient warehousing and fulfilment operation is critical. As well as giving us proper visibility and control of our inventory, Snapfulfil is helping us to monitor and improve workforce productivity and will allow us to do more with the same resources as we continue to develop and grow our business.”
