About Huboo
Bristol-based Huboo is a fast-growing and award-winning fulfilment provider based in the UK and mainland Europe. Since 2017, they have revolutionised the world of eCommerce fulfilment, using environmentally sustainable and human-centric methods that support a wide range of online retailers, including leading businesses in electronics, food & beverages and cosmetics.
Huboo engaged with Dexory in the early part of 2022 to maximise spaces across their warehouses and fulfilment centres, as it deploys the full autonomous state-of-the-art robotic system.
Dexory’s robotic and AI technology enables further enhancement of the day-to-day life of warehouse employees, optimising operations, maximising efficiency and reducing costs. The autonomous technology scans the entire warehouse, building a digital twin for real-time data analysis and insight into the storage of goods in Huboo’s space, which then feeds into their optimisation programme.
The data challenge - a shared vision
Huboo puts people at the heart of everything they do, and always looking for ways to make life easier and better for their colleagues. Working with Dexory, the shared vision for the use of technology and the data collected to drive better business decisions is about making life easier for humans rather than replacing them from operations.
Huboo’s unique Hub Model creates micro-warehouses within warehouses, which are managed by teams of warehouse operators who act as an extension of the brands that they’re fulfilling online orders. By combining best-in-class technology and data insights, with the best people, Huboo creates the optimum customer experience for their clients.
'’We’re proud of our fulfilment service that puts people at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always looking at ways to make life easier and better for our brilliant people. Our engagement with Dexory and use of their robotics and AI will optimise our warehouse space, allowing us to reduce costs and improve performance while delivering a better working environment for everyone at our fulfilment centres’’. Paul Dodd, CTO and Co-founder, Huboo
Dexory introduced autonomous robots to scan the entire warehouse, building a digital twin for real-time data analysis and insight into the storage of goods, which feeds into Huboo’s optimisation programme. This data capture is critical to their efficiency and growth.
