Bumper year for Leeds’ Clipper Logistics as volumes increase 100% on last year

Leeds-based retail specialist Clipper Logistics rose to the challenge over Cyber Weekend, with volumes up by over 100% on the comparable period last year on a like-for-like basis.

Retail solutions experts Clipper Logistics plc has reported its busiest ever period, in the run up to Christmas 2014. Volumes handled by the logistics experts were 400% higher than a typical weekend.

Clipper processed orders for over two million items, or nearly six items per second over the four days. 100% of these orders were processed within the clients’ designated lead-time, fulfilling their customer commitments.

Sean Fahey, Clipper’s CIO said: “We received a tremendous uplift in the volume of orders, well in excess of forecast, and I am delighted that our systems and operational teams achieved service levels to despatch all items on time.

“The feedback from our clients has been fantastic, with one site being awarded the retailers’ own internal service award for excellence – always a great accolade.”

Clipper provides e-fulfilment and specialist logistics services to many retailers, including John Lewis, F&F Clothing at Tesco, Supergroup, Asda and Wilko.
