NEDRE VATS, Norway (October 7, 2026) - AutoStore™, the global leader in intelligent fulfillment, today announced that Norwegian fashion e-commerce retailer VILLOID has selected Pio, part of the AutoStore family, for a new automated fulfillment system expected to become the largest Pio installation in the world to date.
The solution will be delivered by AutoStore partner StrongPoint and is scheduled for completion in Q2 2027. VILLOID is moving its fulfillment operation to a new location and investing in additional automation capacity to support continued growth.
When completed, the system will include an 80,000-Bin Grid, making it four times larger than any current Pio installation.
“VILLOID is a great example of the kind of growing e-commerce business Pio is designed to support,” said Dag Morten Meltveit, Vice President of Pio at AutoStore. “We’ve been impressed by VILLOID’s growth journey and how the team has already used Pio to scale efficiently. By bringing the solution in-house, VILLOID is now adding the capacity and flexibility needed for its next stage of growth.”
VILLOID has already gained experience with Pio through Famme’s warehouse. The new installation will bring the technology directly into the retailer’s own fulfillment operation, giving the company additional capacity as it continues to scale.
“World-class logistics with same-day delivery has been a key driver of our strong and profitable growth, helping us meet customers’ expectations for exceptional fulfillment service. With the new, larger Pio system, we look forward to adding the capacity we need as we scale toward our next milestones. The facility will be the largest Pio installation in the world – and of course, we’ll be lighting it up in VILLOID’s signature pink,” said Jeanette Dyhre Kvisvik, CEO and Founder of VILLOID.
Pio is created by AutoStore and uses AutoStore technology to provide a dedicated warehouse automation solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Designed for smaller spaces and lower order volumes than a typical larger AutoStore implementation, Pio is delivered through a flexible Robotics-as-a-Service model that lowers the barrier to automation.
The project also builds on the partnership between Pio and StrongPoint, which is part of Pio’s international partner network supporting deployment and local service across key markets.
