Fashion Brand Improves Fulfilment Productivity

Posted on 4 April, 202424 July, 2025 by Will Priestman

Descartes Systems Group, announced that U.K.-based fashion retailer LOVALL, formerly known as Love Leggings, is using Descartes’ ecommerce warehouse management system (WMS) to improve productivity by automating fulfilment and optimizing the use of existing warehouse space to hold three times as much inventory. The solution has enabled LOVALL to meet rising ecommerce order volumes without needing to hire additional resources, even during peak periods like this past November when order volumes increased by 28% compared to the same time the previous year.

“Our business has scaled from an Amazon marketplace that used manual- and paper-based systems to pick and pack orders weekly to a growing online fashion brand that fulfils orders daily with almost 100% accuracy using the Descartes solution,” said Chris Brian, Co-Founder of LOVALL. “Descartes has a strong track record of success in our industry with other high growth fashion brands. Its ecommerce WMS gives us a reliable and trusted technology foundation that can easily keep pace with our expanding business.”

Part of Descartes’ ecommerce solution suite, Descartes’ ecommerce WMS helps direct-to-consumer brands and ecommerce retailers drive significant efficiencies across order fulfilment processes to provide a remarkable customer experience. The solution helps ensure retailers can ship on time, ship the right items, not oversell existing inventory, and have transparency into warehouse operations. Order information is automatically available to be executed via mobile-driven, multi-order pick-and-pack strategies and then fed into Descartes and third-party parcel shipment systems. The solution integrates with ecommerce platforms such as Shopify Plus, Brightpearl by Sage, NetSuite, Linnworks, Loop Returns and others, to accelerate implementation and time to value.

“We’re pleased that our ecommerce WMS is playing an important role in LOVALL’s growth and success,” said Johannes Panzer, Head of Industry Solutions for Ecommerce at Descartes. “The ecommerce market is fast-paced and demanding, and our warehouse and shipping solutions are designed to help companies at all stages of growth drive efficiencies and cost-savings in their fulfilment operations, easily flex to support peak and off-peak order volumes and achieve overall higher standards of customer service.”

New WMS solution growing up fast

Posted on 16 January, 202329 July, 2025 by David Priestman

Leading natural and organic baby product retailer, The Green Sheep Group, has reported immediate stock accuracy and productivity improvements since implementing the flexible cloud based SnapFulfil WMS.

The Stratford-upon-Avon based company, which was established in 2007 and recently won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, is additionally enjoying consistent control of inventory and outbound processes, which help deliver a first-class customer experience.

SnapFulfil also integrates seamlessly with Green Sheep’s existing Retail Operating System (ROS), Brightpearl, but has advanced functionality that will optimise their rapid expansion across an increasingly global retail support network, plus expanding D2C and B2B channels.
Green Sheep’s head of operations, Rob Galbraith, says: “We already have much better visibility and a vast improvement with shipping accuracy. Being able to separately track our Little Green Sheep and Snüz brand orders through the whole warehouse process is huge for us going forward.”

SnapFulfil’s ability to remotely implement their software – but while still delivering industry leading deployment speed – has also saved Green Sheep valuable time, money and resource.

Their agile approach means giving clients select parts of the system (e.g. goods in first) bit by bit, so they can practice and familiarise themselves in advance, undertake user acceptance testing, and not go into their digital training cold. Microsoft Teams demos can also be recorded and referred back to, in close up, for extra reassurance and guidance.

Rob Galbraith adds: “SnapFulfil met all our needs, they listened and improvised, while all the online training delivered was spot on, so that go-live was just what we expected. The remote agile medium definitely makes it more manageable for staff and is a lot more practical and cost effective for us as a business than the traditional on-site approach.

“The SnapFulfil system is also very user friendly and even someone with no warehousing experience can be up and running and picking with the RF guns within 30 minutes, which is really useful during peak periods with temporary staff.”

Green Sheep Group has also purchased a SnapData Creator license for real time data analysis and this live data interrogation facility will help maximise performance and cost savings, plus have a tangible impact on strategic direction. SnapFulfil’s multi-site capabilities is also playing a big part in Green Sheep’s expansion plans as the retailer is looking for additional DCs in Europe and the US to meet increasing demand and maximise growth.
