New fulfilment facility
E-commerce order fulfilment specialist, DK Fulfilment (DKF) has opened a 165,000 sq ft dedicated fulfilment facility in Coventry.
The site, which has undergone major refurbishment work, offers three storage chambers and features a combination of wide and narrow aisle pallet racking as well as small parts storage bays and a dedicated pick, pack and re-work area as well as modern office accommodation.
The building is served by a new fleet of Toyota materials handling equipment, while significant investment has been made in new warehouse and courier management software. DKF’s warehouse management software is a new system developed by Swift Computing called Context specifically for fulfilment companies.
Unusually for a fulfilment centre, the bulk pallet storage cube has been designed to allow DKF’s clients to store 2m high pallets – which enables storage costs to be minimised.
