Run Charlie are a thriving internet-based outdoor clothing retailer based in Preston, Lancashire.
They built the business from a very small scale to the now very successful warehouse operation it is today.
Initially, Run Charlie focused on children’s clothing, but now offer adult clothing as part of their expansion. Supplying Regatta, Speedo and Berghaus brands, they lead the way as a forward thinking e-commerce retailer, with a very efficient operation and passing their savings onto customers.
The Challenge
Run Charlie initially tried a number of business management systems, as their operation grew, in order to regain control of the excessive amount of manual tasks they found themselves doing.
One of the first systems they tried only listed products in Amazon. However, going forward it became obvious they would need a system that could list out to a greater range of channels. The systems lacked the level of automation promised by the suppliers, so they found they were still doing much of the manual work that they had hoped to free themselves from.
In particular, they were requesting a barcoding and scanning system. This was so they could speed up the picking and packing processes, grow and fulfil more orders with the same amount of warehouse staff.
