Project “Automated Logistics in Żabka – Modern Logistics solutions for operational efficiency and sustainable development”
Żabka Polska has invested in an automated warehouse to increase logistical efficiency, reduce the time required to prepare goods for transport, and adapt to the network’s dynamic growth of approximately 1,000 stores per year. Currently, the network has over 10,500 modern convenience stores in Poland. The automated logistics center was designed to serve 3,500 stores, and after expansion, up to 5,000 stores. Automation aims to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and increase warehouse capacity, which, given the high growth rate, shortens the investment return period.
