One of the leading furniture e-commerce WoodenStreet is planning to expand its current warehouse capacity by fivefold to a total of 50 Lakh sqft across India in the upcoming 24-36 months. The company plans to invest around 5 Million USD to tackle this massive supply-chain and warehousing expansion—including hiring 250-300 individuals from logistics and supply-chain domain.The company recently launched its largest national warehouse in Jodhpur (with an area of more than 2.5 lakh sqft, equivalent to 5 football stadiums). Currently, it maintains 20+ warehouses & distribution centers with a total area of 10 lakh sqft spread across the country. To keep up with a high volume of logistics, the company also upgraded its warehouses with the latest stacking technology and also launched an in-house WMS App (Warehouse Management System) that ditches bar-code scanners and instead uses extremely-affordable and easily scalable QR-code technology, empowered through smartphones. Founded in 2015, WoodenStreet is a one-stop-shop for affordable luxury furniture, décor and furnishings encompassing a network covering more than 300 cities through 100+ delivery hubs and 25+ Experience stores.Last year, the company had expanded its reach in West Bengal, Kerala and the Delhi-NCR by opening new experience stores. This year’s brick-and-mortar expansion is aimed at bringing its 2019 target of 50+ experience stores to an end, with a plan to reach 100+ stores across India in the next 36 months.
