Fanatics

Fanatics, the online retailer of sports merchandise, opted for high speed autobagging systems for one of its DCs in the United Kingdom, yielding a five times improvement in throughput velocity.

Fanatics distribution center was built to minimize storage and maximize picking across more than 500,000 SKUs.

Fantatics has grown into the leading online retailer for officially licensed sports merchandise for professional and college sports teams. Today, Fanatics stocks 500,000 SKUs and has to be prepared for wild swings in demand that range from 30,000 units a day to 500,000 units during peak periods like the Final Four and the Super Bowl—and ship those units with only seconds left on the clock.
