Apotea is Sweden's first full-scale and one of the fast-growing online pharmacy shipping around 700,000 packages a month. The company is well known for adopting the innovations presented on the market. In recent years, Apotea has built an environmentally friendly logistics center and installed an automated system from SSI Schaefer to keep up with rapid growth. This year Apotea decided to expand currently existing warehouse solution to cover the increased demand.
Last year SSI Schaefer developed and implemented anautomatic picking solution with an A-frame for Apotea. The system was fully installed last fall but due to Apoteas rapid growth it is already time for expansion of the system to almost the double performance.
Online pharmacist Apotea has been rewarded with an award for being Sweden’s most favorite online store and is highly valued by customers for fast deliveries, fair prices, and a great customer experience. To ensure the same customer experience in the future Apotea continue to work together with SSI Schaefer to continue to develop and optimize their supply chain.
“We´re very satisfied with the A-frame and the way it efficiently has expanded our capacity. That's why we continue to implement new automation together with SSI Schäfer and I am really looking forward to seeing our new, even faster A-frame in action says Pär Svärdson.” says Pär Svärdson, CEO at Apotea
The existing A-frame system at Apotea can store up to 1500 products and provides the picking capacity of up tp 1400 orders per hour and soon will be supported by another A-frame, which will process 1000 more orders per hour.
The system will be up and running during 2021.
