The 32,000 square metre distribution centre for apparel retailer, Specialty Fashion Group, will be built by LOGOS Group.
Fitted with advanced automation technologies to enable fast and efficient distribution to customers, the facility is said to be one of the first in Australia specifically designed to cater for the growing retail e-commerce market.
The Prestons facility would enable Specialty Fashion Group to get products to stores and customers faster than ever before. “Currently, Specialty Fashion Group sells a garment a second in Australia,” said Gary Perlstein, CEO, of Specialty Fashion.
“We have worked with Toll to create a supply chain solution that enables our omni channel strategy across all brands for a streamlined and memorable customer experience,” he said.
The state-of-the-art technologies would enable the site to manage high volumes efficiently and quickly, dispatching products for faster delivery and reducing overall costs per unit.
The Prestons facility will employ around 120 warehouse operators and is expected to dispatch more than 90 million units annually. Construction is expected to be completed in October 2017.
