eXXpozed has overcome its immediate challenges and positioned itself for continued success in the competitive sportswear and outdoor equipment market.
High-quality outdoor and extreme sports equipment retailer eXXpozed faced significant scalability challenges as it expanded its product range and international presence. AutoStore, empowered by Element Logic, provided a solution that dramatically reduced space requirements and boosted efficiency.
The AutoStore system enables eXXpozed to offer a wide product range while efficiently managing both e-commerce and in-store operations under one roof.
The project is notable for its compact footprint and unique integration — the AutoStore system is installed one floor below the retail store.
“For us, AutoStore was the best decision so far in terms of efficient and resource-optimized warehouse management.”
Andreas Oliver Bindhammer
Founder and CEO of eXXpozed
As eXXpozed's popularity surged, its traditional warehousing methods struggled to keep pace:
“In the search for a future-proof logistics concept, various solutions were analyzed, but none seemed right — until AutoStore: simple, space-efficient, smart, and scalable.”

The AutoStore system consists of 10,950 Bins stacked 16 levels high within a Grid.
The system occupies just 450 m², compared to approximately 3,500 m² required for a traditional warehouse storing the same volume.
Customers can even see the AutoStore Robots in action through a window, enhancing the retail experience.
“The fully automated warehouse integrates perfectly with our existing infrastructure and ensures long-term growth.”

Twelve Robots operate on top of the grid, retrieving Bins and delivering them to Ports. Each Robot moves in any direction at speeds up to 3.1 m/s, coordinated by a central control system.
This eliminates the need for traditional warehouse aisles and allows pickers to work at compact workstations, improving efficiency and reducing physical strain.
