When soaring order volumes and sustainability goals put pressure on operations, second-hand fashion leader Rediv turned to the Exotec Skypod system — boosting throughput 4x and scaling from 200,000 to 750,000 monthly shipments while reducing strain on workers and the environment.
About Rediv
Rediv is a leader in second-hand fashion with a strong presence in more than 450 collection points and/or sales outlets in Europe.
The Challenge
With a considerable number of SKUs at their 3,500 m² brownfield warehouse in southwest France, Rediv needed to upgrade their order fulfillment operations with a solution that could efficiently support their ever-growing catalog. Also high on Rediv’s priority list was sustainability for both employees and the environment. The company sought to implement a solution that would remove heavy lifting and extensive walking from warehouse employees’ workload. An eco-friendly solution and partner was needed to help Rediv meet their goal of offering customers sustainable fashion.

Key Results
Game-Changing Performance
