CEVA Logistics wins contracts with fashion retailers
CEVA Logistics has been awarded four ten-year contracts worth a total of $400m to provide warehousing, store deliveries, e-commerce fulfilment, international distribution and 4PL services to the fashion retailers Coast, Karen Millen, Oasis and Warehouse. Under the new contracts, which will run until 2025, CEVA will manage a newly-acquired 25,000 square metre shared-user facility in Oxfordshire, which will handle around 20 million units a year across 30,000 SKUs.
The site, which employs 330 people, is semi-automated, and handles the processing and storage of hanging and boxed garments, as well as fashion accessories.
The CEVA operation, which operates on four floors, will serve the four brands’ 752 stores and concessions in the UK, and 29 international markets across Europe, Middle East, Russia, Far East and Latin America. CEVA will handle all relevant Customs clearance activity as well as having 4PL responsibility in North America and Hong Kong.
CEVA will also manage reverse logistics activity and customer returns for the four brands, and carry out end of season de-stocking activity.
In terms of e-fulfilment, CEVA will undertake the co-ordination of around one million orders a year for the four brands, as well as an eBay sales and fulfilment operation for Warehouse’s end of season stock.
