Innovating to optimise operations and the customer experience

We are transforming our operations at the grassroots level.
In our warehouses, in our workflows and in our logistics decisions.
Every innovation addresses a specific need: to speed up processes, improve reliability and reduce our environmental impact.
Automation, data and the optimisation of transportation and packaging

Automated warehouses, packaging optimisation, flow management and emissions reduction: each solution improves operational performance. Innovation that is useful, measurable and grounded in reality.

Transformed operations in the field

Logistics innovation at the Manutan Group is brought to life at our sites and in our operations.
At our European headquarters, the implementation of the AutoStore® solution enables us to automate warehousing and order fulfillment on a large scale.
At the Pichon site, the same solution has been deployed, and workflows have been completely redesigned to improve productivity and service quality.
At the same time, we are optimising transportation and packaging to reduce emissions and resource consumption.

The result: more efficient, more reliable and better-managed operations.

Practical solutions at every stage

We innovate at every stage of the supply chain.
From warehouses to packaging, from transportation to supply chain management, every initiative improves performance and reduces our environmental impact.

Automating warehouses

At our European headquarters, the AutoStore® solution automates the storage and fulfillment of small packages.
Nearly 70 robots transport products to order-picking stations via tens of thousands of bins, enabling higher storage density and reducing floor space.

The result: faster, more reliable operations and improved ergonomics for our teams.

Optimising logistics sites

The Pichon logistics platform demonstrates our ability to rethink logistics flows from a holistic perspective.
Inventory management, order fulfillment, and material flow: every step is optimised to improve efficiency and service quality.

The result: a more streamlined, robust logistics system that is adapted to volume fluctuations and seasonal peaks.

Implementing a more circular logistics system

We follow a 3R approach: reduce, reuse, recycle.
Reusing packaging, optimising consumption, and recovering waste: these practices are becoming standard in our operations.

The result: a more responsible use of resources and a reduction in our environmental impact.

Transforming packaging practices

We are updating our packaging practices to conserve resources and promote reuse.
New box sizes to reduce empty space, customising packages to fit product dimensions using specialised equipment and reusing boxes as packing material with a padding machine.

The result: optimised loading, fewer shipments, and lower carbon emissions.

Reducing the impact of transportation

We are taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint of our transportation operations.
A structured approach, with monitored objectives (such as FRET21 in France), relies on committed partnerships: Mazet (a fleet partially powered by rapeseed oil), XPO Logistics (alternative fuels, low-carbon solutions) and all of our carriers to optimise routes and load factors.

The result: better-managed logistics operations, reduced emissions and more responsible logistics.

Technological and logistical innovation by the numbers

An innovation drive that drives operational performance.

An innovation that improves performance

Optimising operations means taking concrete steps.

Through automation and workflow optimisation, Manutan Group reduces unnecessary handling, minimises empty transport and cuts down on the materials used in its packaging.

We improve overall performance while reducing our environmental impact, resulting in more efficient and responsible operations.
