Bol.com e-commerce fulfillment center chose Treston for modularity

Bol.com new fulfillment center in Waalwijk, Netherlands, was opened at the end of 2017. The huge e-commerce logistics warehouse was designed completely from scratch. The target was to make it as efficient as possible, ensure the orders leave the center the quickest way possible, but also to make it ergonomic and nice for the operators. Treston workstation solutions were chosen due to their modularity.

”We looked at different suppliers and ended up with Human Workspace and the Treston workplace solutions. They give us the necessary flexibility to create a highly modular workstation”, says Lisanne Broer-van Abeelen. 
”The two most important goals were ergonomics and efficiency. This we have reached by using the Treston solutions.” she continues and thanks Human workspace for their flexibility and how they have designed the workspace so that it is really pleasant for the operator to work.

For Ingram Micro the modularity of the Treston solutions was key.
