Wincanton has announced a new three-year partnership with space-saving furniture brand Futon Company.
With 24 stores across the UK and a growing online presence, Futon Company has carved out a niche in the home furnishings market by specialising in compact, stylish furniture for urban lifestyles.
As part of its next phase of improved efficiency, the brand has selected Wincanton to provide a future-fit supply chain solution to support its ongoing systems development.
Wincanton will manage Futon Company’s end-to-end warehousing and distribution operations from its specialist omni-channel fulfilment centre in Corby.
The partnership will enable Futon Company to benefit from Wincanton’s deep expertise across retail and eCommerce fulfilment, including multi-channel stock management, delivery optimisation and seamless customer experience — all key to supporting the brand’s ambitions to maintain and improve its high level of customer experience.
Carl Moore, Managing Director, eFulfilment, at Wincanton, said: “Futon Company is a brilliant example of a brand with a strong identity and we’re proud to support them as they take the next step in their journey. We’re confident our operational capability and omni-channel expertise will drive efficiencies and delight their customers.”
