Modexpress, a full-service logistics fulfillment partner for international fashion and lifestyle brands, runs warehouses across Europe. To meet growing demand and improve efficiency, the company is expanding its largest site in Helmond from 39,000 to 52,000 sqm. The goal has been to centralize inventory, optimize technological capabilities, and support future growth. Having relied on Astro WMS from Consafe Logistics for nearly a decade, Modexpress has now integrated advanced automation solutions, such as a high-capacity pocket sorter, that work seamlessly together with the WMS. This combination allows them to handle peak volumes more efficiently and reduce reliance on manual labor.
With growing order volumes, increasing labor costs, and short lead times, Modexpress faced operational challenges:
To improve operations and scale efficiently, Modexpress invested in automated sorting, packing, and fulfillment solutions. A pocket sorter now processes over 7,500 pieces per hour, while carton-forming machines reduce manual work in packing.
Astro WMS now acts as the central system that manages the entire flow from B2B and B2C within a single automated process. This integration ensures the handling of multi-channel fulfillment, has doubled picking speed, improved accuracy, reduced labor dependency, and made scalability possible.
Modexpress has been working with Consafe Logistics since 2016 with Astro WMS as a core part of their operations. This trusted partnership provided the foundation for a seamless transition to more advanced automation while maintaining the flexibility needed for the company’s future growth.
