When Elgiganten launched its fully automated warehouse in Jönköping, Sweden, it represented an investment of 500 million SEK, the largest of its kind in the country at the time.
The goal: handle huge seasonal spikes, serve both online shoppers and retail stores, and keep pace with customer demand for faster deliveries.
To achieve this, Elgiganten required a shipping platform capable of scaling effortlessly with automation and integrating directly with its WMS, ERP, and webshop systems.
Automation transformed Elgiganten’s warehouse efficiency, but also created complexity.
With millions of parcels processed yearly and all warehouse functions run by machines, the retailer needed a delivery management solution that could generate shipping labels and EDI messages automatically for its preferred carriers (Schenker, Posti, Bring).
nShift Ship integrates directly with Elgiganten’s WMS system, Astro from Consafe, enabling all shipment handling to run within a single automated workflow.
This integration allows Elgiganten to scale shipping volume automatically, maintain full control over delivery data, and reduce the need for manual intervention in the warehouse.
The system has helped Elgiganten meet delivery promises even under high seasonal pressure.
Thanks to automation and carrier flexibility, the warehouse can now ship up to 5 million parcels a year, giving Elgiganten the scalability to meet demand across the Nordics while ensuring reliable delivery performance.
