Our UK fulfillment center was put into use recently. Situated in Wolverhampton (near Birmingham) and with 10,000 square meters of storage space, our UK fulfillment center is the ideal solution for your needs.

Considering the current exponential growth of Omnichannel retail and increasing consumer demand, it is now more crucial than ever before to deliver products as quickly as possible.  3-day delivery isn’t fast enough for consumers who’re used to buying from Argos, Amazon, and similar brands.

UK fulfillment center of NextSmartShip

Having a reliable fulfillment center in the UK ensures that you can access most of the country’s population within a few hours. It guarantees a flawless order fulfillment experience for your customers. This is a tremendous advantage for companies who need to ship or distribute products and remain competitive in the current economic landscape.

A fulfillment center may look similar to a warehouse and store goods for multiple brands, but that’s where the similarity ends. While warehouses store merchandise for extended periods, fulfillment centers usually store fast-moving products and get them to customers as fast as possible.

People work, often non-stop, processing, picking, packing, labeling, and shipping orders to customers. They also manage incoming inventory and customer returns. Our fulfillment center works with retailers, corporations, eCommerce companies, and others to fulfill business-to-business and business-to-consumer orders.

AGVs are designed to maximize safety. They’re fitted with sensors that enable them to safely function around people and building structures. In contrast, human-operated machinery does not have as many built-in safety features, so it is more likely to cause accidents and damaged inventory.

  • limit errors

People make mistakes. By replacing human labor with automation, we eliminate the possibility of workflow inaccuracy, ultimately limiting wastage and increasing productivity. While human teams are limited by exhaustion, Our AGVs work 24/7 to ensure you meet your order fulfillment timelines. This will ensure your operations are productive and accurate.
