USA | H-E-B recently announced the opening of a new e-commerce fulfillment centre in Houston.
The 100,000-square-foot, stand-alone facility marked H-E-B’s ninth fulfillment centre, which the company has opened in Texas since 2018. It also marked another milestone in Swisslog’s ongoing efforts to help the company achieve automated fulfillment goals.
The new centre will support curbside and home delivery orders throughout the city and the surrounding area. It features AutoStore, powered by Swisslog, which operates on synchronised intelligence from Swisslog’s SynQ software.
H-E-B said the new facility was built on the retailer’s longstanding presence in the area, reinforcing its commitment to serving more customers in this rapidly growing part of the state.
The new location further expanded the retailer’s commitment to integrating innovative technologies that drive omnichannel growth and provide Texans with a more convenient shopping experience.
Regularly recognised as a top employer, the company often talked about its use of innovative technology and automation to attract new employees.
When transforming e-grocery fulfillment from strategy to execution, H-E-B has continued to show why it has been an industry leader. Swisslog was excited to play a role in their success and looked forward to continuing to help the retailer provide unmatched service and support to their communities.
