🧍 People + 🦾 Automation = A Winning Partnership At URBN, home of TGW Logistics’ largest North American installation, automation isn’t just about faster operations, it’s about empowering people. Together, we’ve transformed the URBN distribution center into a place where employees and automation work hand-in-hand. Consider piece picking. At the heart of the system, the PickCenter One delivers a game-changing 600–700 picks per hour per operator, the fastest 1:1 picking operation on the market. For URBN's employees, automation means: ✅ Faster, easier onboarding with new hires trained in minutes, not weeks. ✅ More ergonomic, intuitive workstations. ✅ Better jobs, with opportunities for upskilling and career growth. ✅ A simpler process where inbound labor sets the stage, and the system does the heavy lifting. For both integrators and operators, it’s clear that the future of fulfillment is not people vs. machines. It’s people + machines, elevating each other. We are proud to be part of building workplaces where employees thrive, and businesses can scale with confidence! See how automation can unlock new opportunities in your warehouse.

⛔ Most warehouses weren’t built for today’s retail! ⛔ They were built for climbing racks, sorting piles, and hoping orders got out the door on time. TGW Logistics changes that. ✔️ Retailers need a clean, connected flow, not zigzag operations. ✔️ Fewer touches. Unified channels. Smarter returns. Let’s help you build a warehouse operational strategy that actually makes sense and powers your fulfillment network!
