ECOMMERCE WAREHOUSES AND STORAGE SERVICES IN EUROPE BY FHB
First-class storage facilities await our customers' goods, covering an area of up to tens of thousands of square meters. The warehouse location is in the middle of Europe. This gives us a strategic advantage, as we can deliver goods to most countries in Europe and the world in a short time with our direct linehauls.
Strategic Warehouse Locations
We operate our main warehouses in Slovakia – specifically in Svätý Jur and our cutting-edge Triblavina complex – with additional branches in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive storage facilities for continuous inventory management and dedicated handling space for packaging and shipping operations.
Advanced Storage Solutions
Considering product size and characteristics, we store goods using multiple sophisticated systems:
- Multi-level mezzanine systems with bins and goods storage across four-storey configurations.
- Advanced 4D shuttle systems with robotic shuttles for efficient bin handling and automated three-dimensional pallet management.
- Pallet racking systems for larger volume storage.
- Climate-controlled zones for temperature-sensitive products.
- Secure areas with restricted access for high-value items.
On these premises, we can store various types of products in different sizes. These can be, for example, various organic and nutritional products, sports and classic clothing, electronics, but also other consumer goods, such as cosmetics, pet supplies, jewelry, toys, exercise supplies, books, and much more.
The Warehousing Process
The warehousing service in our company consists of several steps:
Receipt and Entry Checks
Our employees receive the goods based on the receipt that you enter into the system before sending. Upon receipt of the goods, the staff carefully inspects the package to ensure that no damage has occurred. The packages will be inspected for damage during transport, and we will inform you if a problem occurs. If they find deficiencies, they immediately register, document, and report them.
Verification and Barcoding
The next step is to verify that the received goods contain all the products that you have entered into the system. Using a barcode, we upload the goods piece by piece into the system and then store them in boxes. In order to eliminate the risk of errors and ensure that the client has a complete overview of the goods in stock, it is essential that the products contain their barcodes. Based on them, they are assigned a stack on a pallet or box, which has its own barcode and determines the position in the warehouse. If the goods do not have a barcode, we can add it additionally.
Placement and Automated Warehousing
Goods move via our integrated conveyor systems to positions assigned by our Kika information system. Our 4D shuttle systems automatically handle placement optimization, while horizontal and vertical conveyors connect all workstations efficiently. Position assignments are confirmed in the system after storage, readying goods for subsequent processes.
Registration and Monitoring
We register goods through our internal information system. The client also has access to the goods register, which can monitor the status of its stocks using our client web application, Zoe, which can be connected to the client's software via API. We confirm the receipt of the goods on the delivery notes, ensuring the client has all the necessary documents for the service used. To make sure that the goods are fine during storage and that the numbers are the same as in our system, we make inventories on a regular basis by scanning the barcodes.
Cutting-Edge Warehouse Technology
Our warehouses utilize advanced automation and informatization to accelerate and simplify warehousing processes and fulfillment operations. We maintain premium warehouse equipment, including:
- 4D KLT shuttle systems for automated bin handling and storage optimization.
- Automated conveyor networks with integrated elevators connecting all floors and workstations.
- Advanced sorting systems including putwall sorters for efficient order processing.
- High-capacity packaging lines with fit-to-size technology reducing material consumption by up to 50%.
