The facility will offer sustainable e-commerce products and low cost last mile B2B and B2C solutions across Europe. A carbon neutral warehouse, it has 60,000 pallet positions, 550,000 bin locations and has been equipped with solar panels and energy-efficient LED lighting.
The hub's proximity to the city of Rotterdam means that Tigers employees can travel to work by public transport or by cycling. The omnichannel fulfilment set-up, which is powered by Tigers' SmartHub:Connect freight, e-commerce, and logistics portal, is benefitting customers who are gearing up for the B2C e-commerce market.
“We are seeing explosive growth in our B2C business, whilst B2B volumes have reduced during the lockdown,” explained Shahar Ayash, Tigers’ Regional Managing Director, Europe. “We can help customers explore new ways of moving quickly into B2C, even if they are set up only for the B2B market. Companies need to be innovative to keep supply chains moving and to ensure that the ever-increasing demand for e-commerce deliveries can be met in an efficient and environmentally-friendly way.
“Our new Rotterdam hub offers customers the space they need to grow organically and the tools and technology to do just that.”
