AutoStore™, an automated retrieval and storage system, helps us keep up with our clients’ customer demands while remaining competitive in today’s online landscape. The technology, installed by AutoStore™ specialists Element Logic, uses robotics to store and retrieve items without human intervention, which allows for efficient, accurate and fast order fulfilment.
As customers’ shopping habits become more multichannel, and demand for next- and same-day delivery increases, it’s even more important for ecommerce businesses to work with a warehousing partner that can quickly fulfil direct-to-consumer orders, as well as distribute stock to retailers and other business-to-business customers.
We have more than 50 years of experience in warehousing and logistics, and since the rise in ecommerce, have been offering flexible fulfilment services. Clients include global ecommerce brands across a range of sectors, such as athleisure, gaming, technology, and beauty, all of which rely on us to support their online sales and distribution channels. With our ability to scale up storage to match clients’ growth needs, Linney gives ecommerce companies the flexibility to find the fulfilment solution that suits them.

The new automated system offers efficient, fast and accurate order picking with no down days. Not only does it support the distribution ambitions of brands by fulfilling orders quickly, but it also forms part of our ESG (environmental, social and governance) goals, using less energy than the previous manual process, with one robot using about 100 watts of energy.
By replacing repetitive manual tasks with automated processes, we have also been able to upskill teams, so we can offer more added-value services to clients. This means that customers can be confident that their orders will be fulfilled on time, every time, and in the most sustainable way possible.
