Chocolate on Chocolate Limited | Retail | 27 | $5M | United Kingdom | Linnworks | Linnworks Warehouse Management | Warehouse Management | 2025 | n/a | In 2025, Chocolate on Chocolate Limited implemented Linnworks Warehouse Management to centralize UK fulfilment and move away from paper-based processes. The deployment targeted UK warehouse and fulfilment operations for the 27-person retail business, enabling a small team to dispatch up to 1,000 orders per day while unifying multichannel order streams into a single operational platform. The Linnworks Warehouse Management implementation emphasized real-time inventory control and automated fulfilment workflows, with configuration of picking and packing sequences and the introduction of PDA-driven mobile scanning for picking, packing and dispatch. Functional focus included inventory synchronization, order allocation and automated status updates to support faster order processing and reduced manual reconciliation. Operational architecture centered on a single-site UK warehouse, integrating handheld PDAs with the Linnworks Warehouse Management system to support mobile scanning and transaction capture at point of pick. The implementation consolidated channel order ingestion into one fulfilment engine, synchronizing inventory and order status in real time across sales channels and the warehouse. Governance focused on shifting paper workflows to standardized digital processes, training the compact fulfilment team on PDA-driven picking and packing, and formalizing picking, packing and dispatch workflows within Linnworks Warehouse Management. Outcomes reported in the implementation included real-time inventory control, reduced manual work and a scalable foundation for growth while enabling the team to meet dispatch volumes up to 1,000 orders per day. | |
