Australian online retailer Catch.com.au has selected Blue Yonder’s cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS) and labour management solution for its planned second fulfilment centre in 2022.
Open Sky Group, one of Blue Yonder’s WMS implementation partners, will help design, configure, and deploy both solutions.
Since 2006, Catch.com.au has had one fulfilment centre in Australia based in Victoria.
Due to surging Australian e-commerce demand, the company has unveiled plans to open a new fulfilment centre set to open in Sydney in the first quarter of 2022.
The new facility is part of Catch.com.au’s long-term customer first strategy and will enable Catch to serve customers more quickly and efficiently.
Catch.com.au Head of Fulfilment, Richard Whetton, said that they knew they needed to upgrade their WMS and labour management solutions for its second FC.
“With Blue Yonder, we can continue our customer-first strategy of delivering what our customers need faster and at the lowest price,” Whetton said.
Blue Yonder’s Luminate Platform uses real-time transaction processing, optimised storage and selection strategies, and integrated labour management.
Blue Yonder account manager, Rod Hall, said that the new WMS solution will help Catch support its high-volume ecommerce business.
“Today’s retail e-commerce market is challenging for many reasons and Catch.com.au recognised that they need all parts of their business working together to serve their shoppers,” Hall said.
“We are looking forward to developing a long-term relationship with Catch.com.au to help improve their warehouse operations and better manage their warehouse labour, so that their customers can continue to experience an easy and convenient e-commerce shopping experience,” he said.
