Supporting the supply chain, delivering for customers
4 DAYS
Responding to a request from Government, mobilisation of the solution took 4 days
200,000 SQ. FT.
including setting up a full warehouse management system for an initial 200,000 sq. ft. of warehousing space
7 DAYS
We additionally created an online solution, working with eBay to support aspects of the primary care network and we had that operation up and running in 7 days
Supporting
the NHS
In the 'Clipper Way', demonstrating our agility, Clipper was able to mobilise an initial 200,000 sq. ft. solution within 4 days. We are currently utilising our logistics capabilities at several locations, thereby easing the pressure on the NHS Supply Chain network.
The aim was to work with our NHS partner and establish a new supply chain for NHS Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) products.
We are not only delivering to NHS Hospital Trusts, we have also developed an online eBay solution to support healthcare providers, GP surgeries, care homes and others in the primary care network across the country.

E-commerce mega trends and post-COVID-19 acceleration
COVID-19: accelerated e-commerce growth
Online orders increased significantly from March 2020 onwards
21% year-on-year increase in e-commerce sales in fashion, apparel and accessories globally. Bricks-and-mortarsaw online orders increase from 52% to 76% compared with the same period last year (The Future of Ecommerce, April 2020).
Dramatic change in online shopping habits over the COVID-19 lockdown period Number of consumers who say they've increased their online shopping rising to 36% (Mintel research conducted 16-23April).
Catalyst for a new, more omni-channel focused future
42% of respondents to a survey conducted by Retail SaaS provider Qudini are more likely to use click and collect services.
Retailers without online presence threatened
42.6% of UK shoppers are spending more than usual online at the moment and 61% of those plan to keep doing so after the pandemic (Global Data's survey May 2020).

locations served by robots.
Use of robots has increased putaway and pick rates, which in turn has increased productivity.
Use of automation to speed up processing
We partnered with Superdry to develop automation solutions to speed up the processing of e-commerce returns, making them available for sale again quickly. We looked at the flexibility robots could offer us in an automated goods-to-person system. The pilot project for handling e-commerce returns was conducted in 2018. After the success of that project, we moved on with planning expansion.
Over 80,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space at our Burton facility is being set out with 1,000 transportable pick-wall modules and 12 pick-to-light stations to facilitate the adoption of the robots. The site is also being prepared for the robot fleet by positioning QR codes on the floor for the robots to follow.
The solution will not only be able to process all existing e-commerce returns but will now also be able to process returns from store. Once live, this will cater for around 50% of the site's outbound activity. The expansion will take us from six robots and 92 modules to 46 robots and 1,000 modules.
This will allow over 32,000 locations to be serviced by robots.
Our plan is then to further expand the solution to include menswear next year. This will involve additional automation projects, redesign of the mezzanine floors as forward reserve storage to enable fast replenishment and reduced handling of goods to the High Productivity Racking area.
