Why Veloq Side-of-Store FC?

Maximum SKU Density

We don't waste air. Using AutoStore's bin-stacking technology, we fit 15,000+ SKUs into standard ceiling heights. Perfect for urban "Brownfield" locations.

1-Hour Delivery Radius

By placing inventory closer to the customer (in-store), you eliminate the "Long Mile" from a remote warehouse. Offer true 60-minute delivery without the premium shipping cost.

Freshness Guaranteed

Our systems integrate seamless Multi-Temp zones. Robots handle the ambient/chilled goods, while Veloq software routes pickers efficiently through frozen zones—ensuring ice cream never melts.

We Run What We Build

Unlike pure tech vendors, we offer "Operational Support" packages. We train your staff, monitor your grid 24/7, and put our fees at risk on your UPH performance.
