How Kathmandu Built a Future-Ready Omnichannel Distribution Center with Dematic

When leading travel and adventure brand Kathmandu launched a global e-commerce platform, they needed a distribution center that could keep up with global explorers—and growing demand.

That’s why they partnered with Dematic to build one of Australia’s first purpose-designed omnichannel distribution centers (DCs) in Truganina, Melbourne.

The Challenge:

With over 254 stores, growing global orders, and a need to unify retail and online fulfillment, Kathmandu needed a DC built for speed, scale, and precision.

The Solution:

Dematic implemented a scalable batch-pick sortation system, automating fulfillment across channels—from hiking boots to rain gear—streamlining order flow and minimizing errors.

The Results:

• 93% increase in order accuracy
  
  
• Consolidated 2 operations into 1 modern facility
  
  
• Seamless order processing for in-store and online
  
  
• Built-in scalability for future growth
