Ordered on Saturday, delivered on Monday: Galaxus expands logistics
As of 8 May, Galaxus Deutschland is shortening delivery times. Customers can order products that are in stock at the Krefeld warehouse by 9 a.m. on a Saturday to have them delivered on Monday. The Krefeld warehouse has gained enormous traction. Last year, Galaxus Deutschland's logistics site grew fivefold, as five times more employees and five times more products were welcomed. And even more more employees are being hired.
Galaxus customers who order on Friday evening or by 9 a.m. on Saturday will have their orders delivered to their homes on Monday. A new shift system allows Galaxus to hand over orders to logistics partner DHL already on Saturday. «The connection between Galaxus in Krefeld and the DHL logistics centre, which is located in the immediate vicinity, is ideal. It allows us to deliver orders as early as Monday,» says Steffen Beniers, Leader Logistics at Galaxus Deutschland.
Galaxus grows fivefold in Krefeld
«In January 2020, we had eleven employees. Today, we have more than 50 employees,» Dr. Robert Brohl, Head of Operations Galaxus Deutschland, states. «In other words, we’ve grown fivefold in just over a year. Our inventory has also increased from 13,000 to 65,000 products.» This growth means the current warehouse in Krefeld is already reaching its limits. The team in Germany is currently looking for a new hall of 20,000 square metres.
The customer service team in Krefeld is also being established and expanded. Galaxus is currently looking for warehouse specialists and customer service experts. View the current job offers: job offers Galaxus.
