From a newly established online shop in 2009 until to today, GetInspired has experienced a tremendous growth. The target group is girls who are looking for sporty clothes and shoes for workout and leisure, always focusing on customer service and super logistics with fast delivery. With constant growth, they had to make a choice between moving the warehouse abroad or investing locally with automation.<\/p>\n\n\n

50% reduced delivery time with AutoStore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the challenges with a manual warehouse was getting the orders out fast enough for the customers. Since delivery time has always been a priority number one for Tverv\u00e5g and the rest of the team, there had to be a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cManual picking with trolleys between shelves worked well, until we got AutoStore, then we revolutionized the entire warehouse process. We experienced 100% increase in production in the number of product lines per day, much better capacity and the flow of goods was significantly improved. It didn\u2019t take long until the delivery time to our customers were reduced by 50%\u201d, says Warehouse and Logistics Manager, Vegard Tverv\u00e5g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the transformation from manual warehousing to AutoStore was perceived as overwhelming, according to Vegard. Robots taking over some of the tasks that they used to do themselves. However, they quickly saw the benefits, and experienced that the working hours became more effective, the statistics showed great numbers \u2013 and with little downtime and maintenance, the employees can focus on production. There were several problems and interruptions associated with manual warehouse, in addition to being unfavorable ergonomically for the employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated system from Element Logic on the wish list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started with Vegard and Sindre Landev\u00e5g (General Manager) at GetInspired seeing the e-commerce player Stormberg\u2019s robotic solution in full operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was like going into a toy store for a Warehouse Manager. I told Sindre that I wanted one for Christmas,\u201d says Tverv\u00e5g. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They got in touch with Kjell Blakseth from Element Logic, who invited them to visit Thanke in Lier, Norway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If we were not already convinced that this was something for us, we were definitely convinced after that visit. It was fascinating to see the goods flow straight into the warehouse and out again,\u201d Tverv\u00e5g continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scalable warehouse for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the massive growth, a scalable warehouse system has been essential for GetInspired. They didn\u2019t want to move or to purchase new warehouse inventory every season. With the robot solution from Element Logic, they have expanded several times, with no stops in operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElement Logic has been a very good partner for us and assisted with good solutions and close follow-up during the projects,\u201d says Tverv\u00e5g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scalability has also been very important for seasonal variations such as Black Friday. Tverv\u00e5g admits that they are a bit nervous every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan we handle the pressure? The last two Black Fridays have been crazy in terms of number of orders, and we have taken several measures such as boosting picking stations and increasing staffing. We were shocked when realizing how fast we were able to produce ourselves\u201d, Vegard says, and continues humorously: \u201ccustomers were almost receiving their products before they even placed the order online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award for best online shop 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the award for best online shop in 2016 fresh in memory, they won this year\u2019s award among a total of 1.400 companies, with the following statement from the jury: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter several years of strong growth, GetInspired.no has managed to maintain personal communication with customers and has many loyal customers. They invest in continuous improvement of the customer experience and work to make the buying experience easier, better, and customized for each customer. Everything they do should be relevant to the customers\u201d (ehandel.com).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future also looks bright, during the Covid-19 pandemic they have experienced an increased demand for casual wear, and they find that many are planning the Norwegian holiday by buying sporty clothes and shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat has been very practical with AutoStore during this Covid-19 period is that we have managed to keep distance, and only the robots have had to work closely. We have been able to focus on cleaning and other measures that have been needed,\u201d concludes Tverv\u00e5g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
