Warehousing solutions for rapid expansion
GEODIS used our extensive warehousing network and implementation expertise to create a rapid deployment strategy:
- We took advantage of our access to over 50 million square feet of warehousing space across the U.S. to quickly identify a suitable solution
- We selected our existing 90,000 square foot facility in Edison, NJ as the ideal location for consolidation
- Within the compressed three-month timeline, our team:
- Modified the building specifically for furniture storage by removing existing racking
- Added appropriate labels and lanes for warehouse management system implementation
- Hired and onboarded more than 40 new team members
- Successfully received and consolidated inbound inventory from four separate locations
To ensure seamless collaboration and continuous improvement, our client's team was stationed on-site at the Edison facility, demonstrating a mutual commitment to our collaboration.

The initial success of our rapid implementation laid the foundation for even greater expansion. What began as an urgent project to establish one new facility evolved into a major distribution network expansion:
- Four new facilities launched within the first six months of 2024
- 35% of the retailer's home delivery volume now managed by GEODIS
- 4.8/5 customer satisfaction score maintained throughout the expansion period
- Under 3 months from initial request to fully operational facility
- 100% growth in collaboration over just five months
- Network expansion from 3 to 6 facilities across 312,000 square feet of warehouse space
Most importantly, GEODIS has become the retailer's largest home delivery provider while continuing to exceed service expectations - proving that rapid expansion and quality service can go hand-in-hand with the right logistics provider.
