Swiss Shoe Giant Choose SSI Schaefer

April 2008

Swiss shoe giant, Vogele Shoes, is currently reaping the benefits of SSI Schaefer's guarantee to deliver the best solutions for each customer on time and within budget.

Market leader among Swiss shoe outlets, Vogele Shoes, with branches in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Belgium, supplies over 25,000 pairs of shoes per shop. Since early 2006 Vogele Shoes has been offering its customers an improved shopping experience through the re-design of a number of shop floor layouts.

To be able to create such an environment, Vogele Shoes called upon the services of SSI Schaefer to develop a unique shelving range to run out across all outlets. Due to Schaefer's high level of expertise in the field of warehouse equipment, its comprehensive range of shelving designs and in-house production meant that the development time from prototype to final model was completed in just two months.

The new shelving range was made available at the same price as a standard model. Markus Sennhauser of Karl Vogele AG, said: "The speed and the uncomplicated cooperation during the planning and agreement phase, as well as the provision of various product samples in a very short period of time meant that we were able to deliver improved shopping surroundings for our customer base quicker than anticipated.

"SSI Schaefer's high degree of flexibility and professionalism set them apart from the rest of the competition, which is why we will continue to use their services again and again."
