DHL launches new Coventry DC, announces contract with Sephora

Online beauty retailer Sephora has announced that it has appointed DHL Supply Chain as its lead logistics provider for the next five years, as the pair unveiled a new omni-channel distribution centre in Coventry.

 

As part of the deal, DHL will be responsible for ‘warehousing, e-commerce fulfilment and Sephora’s UK transport network’.

DHL’s digital manufacturing division has ‘developed tailored in-house solutions to optimise operations based on Sephora’s needs and based on its specialist knowledge of the beauty industry’. It is also deploying pick-assisting robots to ‘support fluctuating demand, while maintaining high quality control’.

“Sephora UK’s new omni-channel distribution centre is powered by DHL’s first carbon-neutral site, and is a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. The transition of our supply chain to this state-of-the-art facility is an absolutely pivotal project that underpins our UK expansion.
