Just in time – Logistics from Flensburg

The Flensburg central warehouse delivers daily to wholesale customers in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia, as well as to specialty stores in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Austria, and Spain. Private customers receive their mail order packages within three days.

Every week ORION sends several hundred thousand items from Flensburg out into the world. Twice a day a 30-ton semi-trailer from the German postal carrier picks up the ORION parcels; in addition, the Danish post collects packages bound for Scandinavia.

In light of this logistical service, ORION has set up half-automated order picking, so- called "Multi-Order Picking." According to the type of distribution channel – mail order, filial stores, or wholesale – ORION’s warehouse uses radically different strategies in order to pick the shipment. The stream of merchandise and the hardware and software connected to it are continually restructured and adjusted to the ever increasing requirements.

At the center of capital investment, alongside a steady increase in efficiency, are ergo nomic working conditions in the entire warehouse area.
