SkatePro started in 1996 and is today an important player in the action sports scene in Europe and the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. The company offers a wide range of gear, accessories and clothing for action sports. SkatePro's webshop is a classic e-commerce company that receives many products daily, which are put into stock and shipped continuously. More than 100 employees take care of the daily operations, of which approximately 40 are employed in the warehouse.

SkatePro previously faced major challenges in terms of space. The new EFFIMAT solution makes optimal use of the 6-meter ceiling height and has provided 300% more storage space in the same area. The solution is modular and is adapted to the company's needs. At the same time, major improvements have been made to the working environment. The working position is now appropriate and ergonomically correct without the physically stressful bending, stretching and twisting of the body.

The EFFIMAT solution has significantly boosted efficiency with a 300% increase in picking speed. Today, 27% of orders are processed through the EFFIMAT solution, and the target is 40%. The expected ROI is 2.5 years.
