Maximum compression of the storage area
The task:As a multi-channel online distributor, HBOD brings brands such as Schiesser and Mey to digital marketplaces.
High throughput, fast picking times, many returns. The requirements for the new warehouse were therefore highly complex: a heterogeneous parts warehouse that accommodates a wide variety of compartment types, from hanging garments to small parts.
The planning was carried out by an external planning office and two competitors were already suppliers to the customer HBOD.
However, when the tender documents arrived at SCHULTE, it quickly became clear that the initial planning was not economical enough.
SCHULTE did not want a project that was only about price, but a solution that offered significantly more advantages for HBOD.
HBOD gave SCHULTE the "last call":
Put out to tender again, this time SCHULTE was to help determine the technical data. Steffen Kemna took over the project management and developed an updated tender together with the planning company and the customer.
A special challenge:
More capacity in a limited space. Flexible, different types of goods, optimised processes.
Customer benefits
Significantly more benefits for HBDO thanks to SCHULTE's extensive planning experience.
We shelve it right!
The standard 1,300 mm wide shelves would have been a waste of space with the HBOD storage containers of 300 or 400 mm width. With SCHULTE special shelves of 1,210 mm width, 2.90 metres were gained across the entire shelving system - a big difference with 29 shelves!

SCHULTE was also able to score with a proven unique selling point in terms of shelf height: The 25 mm MULTIplus shelf has been a SCHULTE trademark since 2003 and offers significantly more space in height and more flexibility during storage than the usual 40 mm high edges. The competition could not deliverthis

Short explanatory line for the video - just one sentence
The decisive moment came in the meeting with HBOD. Steffen Kemna not only presented the planning - he showed what SCHULTE does differently: special dimensions for optimum space utilisation. Shelves that can be flexibly adapted. Clothes rails that can be used variably. Colours according to corporate identity. Solutions proactively developed by SCHULTE without being required in the tender.
And so a project turned into a partnership, as HBOD has already ordered more shelving technology from SCHULTE.
A partner who thinks along with you is more important than one who just delivers. This is good proof that true partnership is based on trust and problem-solving expertise.
"We are extremely satisfied with both the entire project process and the end result and can recommend Schulte without reservation as a reliable and competent partner."- Timo Hage, Managing Director HBOD
Conclusion:
Punctual commissioning of the warehouse with high customer satisfaction.
