Existing store space and backroom for storage

Alternative #1
‍Reduce backroom space. Keep or expand available stock in the high-density storage

Alternative #3

With retail being disrupted by digital possibilities and customers have fewer reasons to visit physical stores, AutoStore is moving from solving warehouse challenges to solving new needs of consumers and retailers in-store. We took on the challenge to create a vision of what modern retail solutions - store stocking and pick-up solution for online orders - could look like.

We visualized different ways in which AutoStore can make the future store more efficient; wider assortment in-store, increase the staff’s time for service in store, faster and more efficient home delivery from store with microfulfillment solutions directly from stores available 24/7.
