BIKE24 is one of Europe’s leading online retailers for bicycle parts and accessories. Founded in 2002, the company has approximately 450 employees and processes customer orders from over 80 countries. BIKE24 annually ships around 1,500,000 parcels worldwide – a number that continues to rise! In 2017, the online retailer installed a compact AutoStore storage and retrieval system at its head office in Dresden to store more goods in less space and avoid having to relocate to new premises. The switch to AutoStore allowed BIKE24 to double its storage capacity. In order to keep up with its annual double-digit growth targets and shorten delivery times to its customers all over Europe, BIKE24 now invests in another AutoStore system with adjoining conveyor technology for its new logistics centre in Lliçà d’Amount, Barcelona. The intralogistics solution provider Kardex has been commissioned with the planning and implementation of the overall solution.

“We chose Kardex for this project because we were looking for a competent, customer-focused partner with extensive global experience and a local presence. We were really impressed with the reliability and flexibility of the experienced Kardex team and their ability to quickly manage questions and challenges that arose along the way. The Kardex Life Cycle Service Team in Spain also guarantees expert and reliable support over the entire life cycle of our AutoStore system,” says Christoph Knippschild, Head of Operations at BIKE24.
