Serving up success

When a sport starts booming, so does demand. For Padel Corner, keeping up meant evolving fast.

As one of the UK’s leading padel retailers, Padel Corner supplies everything from rackets and balls to clothing, grips, and footwear - whether it’s a single order for a player or bulk stock for a busy club shop. With interest in padel exploding, they needed a fulfilment partner who could help them scale at speed.

That’s when they found IFGlobal.

Challenges

Growth outpaced fulfilment

Like many growing DTC and B2B brands, Padel Corner started scrappy. Fulfilling orders at home, then moving to a basic storage unit, and eventually bringing in a small 3PL. But as orders scaled, operations stalled.

The bottlenecks were becoming impossible to ignore.

They were battling:

  • A growing SKU range without tracking
  • No automation, barcoding, or live visibility
  • A 3PL partner overwhelmed by volume
  • Manual processes prone to errors

Initially we were fulfilling orders ourselves from our home, then we moved to a lock up which was very rudimental. Some friends in the industry then became our first stage 3PL. However, due to number of SKUs and products, it wasn’t sustainable, and we were outgrowing their capability.

The IFGlobal difference

Why Padel Corner chose us

After a recommendation from a business mentor, they visited IFGlobal’s UK facility and instantly knew it was the right fit.

IFGlobal offered more than warehouse space. We offered a fully integrated operation, powered by proprietary BladePRO fulfilment software, and a support team built for scale.

  • A high-volume fulfilment infrastructure
  • Real-time tracking and automation
  • Proprietary fulfilment software
  • Shopify integration
  • A responsive team who just get it

Having researched the market, I then worked with a business mentor who recommended IFGlobal. So, I visited the facility and was blown away by the whole set up.

Results

From chaos to control

Padel Corner wasn’t using barcodes. Tracking was manual. Errors were common. The switch to BladePRO brought much-needed discipline and clarity. The payoff was instant:

  • Real-time order and inventory visibility
  • Barcode-level accuracy
  • Seamless connection to Shopify
  • Complete operational transparency

It’s amazing - with the integration of BladePRO into our online Shopify store, we now get visibility of orders and stock with continual updates, it’s seamless. It’s now simple to know where we are at with the business. It’s a great system and it works really well.

going forward

Fulfilment that powers growth, not stunts it

Working with IFGlobal transformed Padel Corner’s operations and gave them the confidence to scale without compromise.

With the sport growing fast and new courts opening across the UK, demand isn’t slowing down. Thanks to IFGlobal, instead of worrying about fulfilment, Padel Corner can focus on expanding product lines, landing new retail accounts, and serving a rapidly growing fanbase.

Toby Bawden, Director of Padel Corner, shared the positive impact working with IFGlobal has had on the business:

Accuracy and efficiency

“On the whole now it’s fail-safe – whereas before it was human-dependent.”

Seamless Shopify integration

“It’s amazing... we now get visibility of orders and stock with continual updates. It’s seamless and easy to know where we are at with the business. It’s a great system and it works really well.”

Support team that actually care

“Support is really good... every time we send an email, and anytime we ask anything – boom – it’s responded to right away.”

Stress-free peak prep

“It’s nice to know we can expand with IFGlobal. During Peak, Black Friday, Christmas and early Spring we see a definite uplift, with players and clubs wanting to upgrade their equipment. We are not worried about our fulfilment and pick, pack and dispatch. At IFGlobal it’s always been handled really well, even during busier times.”

Faster fulfilment = happier customers

“On the B2B retail side we have some demanding customers who want their orders ASAP, and the reason we are so successful is because of how quickly we can get these orders out – it is phenomenal to be honest.”
