KNAPP has been awarded a contract by Trade Logistics to provide an omni-channel solution for Intersport in Greece

The logistics provider Trade Logistics has commissioned KNAPP to supply an automated omni-channel solution for Intersport Greece. The latest OSR Shuttle Evo technology gives Trade Logistics the necessary flexibility to ship both online orders and shop orders quickly and cost-efficiently from their warehouse.

This investment at the Oinofyta site in Greece by Trade Logistics, a member of the Fourlis group, will automate the entire logistics of the Intersport sports equipment business with brick-and-mortar stores as well as online stores all across Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus. Both companies are delighted about this renewed collaboration. “The mutual trust we have built in the course of our long-standing partnership and the availability of state-of-the-art technologies were the main reasons why we opted for KNAPP once again,” explains Anestis Partalidis, Managing Director of Trade Logistics.

Highly dynamic OSR Shuttle Evo for omni-channel logistics

This highly dynamic shuttle system will be used for processing orders that are delivered to stores as well as online orders from a central warehouse. The cutting-edge, ergonomic Pick-it-Easy work stations are supplied with goods by the OSR Shuttle Evo according the goods-to-person principle, with each work station being able to access every item. This makes it easier to respond to order fluctuations and to adapt work schedules.

“Together with Trade Logistics, we have developed a customized design that is precisely tailored to the needs of the omni-channel business and the market”, emphasizes Sven Waldhaus, Director Mobile Subsidiary at KNAPP AG. “The system offers maximum flexibility for processing rush replenishment requests and online orders.” The solution is expected to go into operation in early 2022.
