From warehouse overwhelm to scalable success

When your brand is growing fast – and your product catalogue spans multiple sizes, colours, and styles – fulfilment precision isn’t just helpful. It’s mission-critical.

Sandbanks is a luxury fashion brand founded on sustainability and quality. Since launching in 2019, they’ve quickly earned a cult following and established themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming names in fashion.

But as sales surged, fulfilment complexity followed. With limited space, manual processes, and stock visibility issues, their in-house setup was struggling to keep pace. To scale without compromise, they needed a new approach.

Challenges

Growth outpaced infrastructure

Sandbanks quickly outgrew their existing warehouse setup. They were juggling space limitations, outdated picking methods, and stock inaccuracies.

Manual processes made it difficult to track real-time inventory or assign costs accurately. Without proper systems, growth was limited, and warehouse relocation seemed inevitable.

They were facing:

  • Limited warehouse space with no room to scale
  • Manual stock control and outdated picking processes
  • Inaccurate inventory reporting and overselling issues
  • No visibility into wholesale order fulfilment
  • High seasonal pressure with unpredictable staffing needs
  • No integrated system to track cost prices or stock movement
  • Operational distractions from having the warehouse onsite

Our fulfilment ops were constrained and manual - we were peeling off barcodes to record dispatches, which was totally unsustainable.

We had to take on an extra office space to store boxes in peak season. It just wasn’t a scalable operation.

The IFGlobal difference

Why Sandbanks chose us

Initially, Sandbanks were searching for a warehouse management system, not a 3PL. After speaking with the IFGlobal team, they saw the benefits of the opportunity. 

  • A clean, modern warehouse space at Hurn with room to scale
  • Real-time inventory sync
  • Transparent wholesale dispatch records
  • Fully managed support from onboarding through day-to-day fulfilment

We weren’t looking for a 3PL at the time, but once we saw the cost savings and realised how local IFGlobal’s UK sites were, it made perfect sense.

When we met with the team, everyone was really friendly and the service felt personal - we weren’t going to be onboarded and left to it, we were going to have someone supporting us the whole way through.

Results

Scalable fulfilment

After a comprehensive onboarding process led by IFGlobal’s team, Sandbanks transitioned to a more efficient and scalable fulfilment operation. The move required some internal adjustments for them, including standardising data sheets, SKUs, and barcodes — but the payoff was immediate.

 

With tailored fulfilment workflows, real-time stock updates every 30 seconds, and fully transparent dispatch records, Sandbanks gained a level of control and insight they hadn’t experienced before.

Operational clarity and control

  • No more spreadsheet-based stock control

  • Live inventory updates eliminate overselling

  • Wholesale fulfilment fully traceable, item by item

Scalable space and systems

  • Seamless handling of seasonal peaks

  • No need for ad-hoc space or staffing fixes

Support that feels like partnership

  • Quick-turn client support for urgent requests

  • Dedicated account management, weekly check-ins, and proactive solutions

Confidence to grow

  • Infrastructure to support long-term growth, without being limited by logistics

Having a real-time, accurate view of our stock has been an absolute game changer for us.

The account managers have been amazing — weekly calls, fast turnaround, and always fighting our corner. If there isn’t already a solution, they work to implement something that will suit our needs.

going forward

Taking Sandbanks overseas

With IFGlobal’s tailored 3PL solution and hands-on account management, Sandbanks gained the space, systems, and confidence to scale without the operational headaches.

They are now focused on continued growth, with plans to expand into Europe. With fulfilment centres in the EU (and US), IFGlobal is ready to support them through their next stage of growth.
