Element Logic, an AutoStore distributor, has appointed Gary Allen as the Customer Success Director of its UK business.

AutoStore is a warehouse automation company with over 1,500 installations worldwide for the likes of Macy’s, Ikea, and Puma.

Allen brings over 20 years’ experience in the warehouse automation sector following his tenure as Sales Director at Linde MH UK.

He says: “I am thrilled to join Element Logic at such a pivotal time. Leading the UK Customer Success team as we continue to grow the UK business is truly exciting.”

Scott Torrington, Managing Director at Element Logic UK, says: “Gary’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to delivering world class service and support.”

“The challenge for our customers is to ensure that their system is maximised to its full potential and grows along with their businesses and we are focused on how we can provide the best team and service to make that possible.”

Pio

Pio, a plug and play automated warehouse system leveraging cube storage technology by AutoStore, is now available to all small and midsize e-commerce businesses (SMBs) in the United States.  

AutoStore says it created Pio as part of its mission to make cube storage technology accessible to all.

Now, Pio’s P100 automated warehouse system has launched in the US with five new customers: Privada Cigar Club, Sunday Swagger, Souko, Barnes 4WD, and AI Stone.  

 “SMB e-commerce brands face two major challenges in the US - high labour costs and extremely high customer expectations regarding order fulfilment and delivery. Overcoming these two challenges isn’t possible without automation,” says Magne Hatteland, VP and Head of Pio.

“With Pio, any brand, no matter its size, has access to the same best-in-class warehouse automation system as big box retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods or Best Buy, enabling them to compete at the same level or even outperform.”

“As Shopify streamlines online store operations with digital features to help manage inventory and shipping, Pio’s cube storage technology and robots automate the next step in your logistics by eliminating any backlog and authorising same-day order processing.”

“This means your team can stop digging through and sorting boxes, and instead, spend their time growing the business to new heights.”

Starting at $85,999 plus a monthly subscription, Pio is capable of picking and packing 360 orders per hour, reducing labour costs by up to 80%, and saving hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for SMB e-commerce businesses.
