UK logistics provider Lemonpath has partnered with SnapFulfil of Castle Donington, Derbyshire, to streamline warehouse operations and significantly enhance customer experience, positioning itself for accelerated growth in the competitive logistics sector.

Based in Leicester and Loughborough, Lemonpath specialises in third-party logistics (3PL), contract packing, and pre-retailing services, catering to sectors such as apparel, beauty, wellness, food and beverage, and home and garden products. Its two key facilities handle an extensive range of logistical needs including storage, labelling, quality control, and distribution, serving both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) markets across the UK.

The strategic shift to SnapFulfil's cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) comes after Lemonpath identified substantial limitations within its previous system, which lacked essential functionalities such as EDI and API integrations. These limitations impeded the transition to paperless picking and provided inadequate visibility of stock, hindering effective management and clear audit trails. Furthermore, the legacy software did not directly integrate with financial systems like SAGE invoicing, leading to cumbersome, spreadsheet-dependent processes.

Fiona Clubley, Inventory and Sustainability Director at Lemonpath, highlighted the urgency behind the switch: 'Our current system significantly hampers our operational efficiency and our ability to scale effectively. We needed a solution with built-in functionality to eliminate workarounds, streamline processes, and provide configurable options tailored specifically to our customers' unique requirements. SnapFulfil meets all these criteria and more.'

SnapFulfil's robust WMS offers Lemonpath enhanced capabilities including real-time inventory visibility, optimised stock management, and the crucial ability to implement fully paperless picking processes. This transition reduces manual labour and significantly enhances accuracy and speed. Moreover, SnapFulfil's seamless integration with SAGE invoicing removes the reliance on middleware, simplifying Lemonpath's financial workflows and improving reporting accuracy.

Clients of Lemonpath will also gain direct benefits from the partnership. SnapFulfil's customer-facing tools enable automated tracking, self-service profile management, and detailed reporting, enhancing transparency and strengthening client relationships.

'This new partnership with SnapFulfil marks an exciting milestone for Lemonpath,' added Clubley. 'The collaboration allows us to future-proof our operations and sustain long-term growth. Enhanced functionality and visibility provided by SnapFulfil will transform how efficiently we manage stock and orders, directly benefiting our customers with improved accuracy, speed, and transparency.'

Chris White, Chief Revenue Officer EMEA at SnapFulfil, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasising the strategic alignment between the two firms in optimising warehouse management to reinforce Lemonpath's standing in the logistics market.

With UK businesses increasingly reliant on efficient, transparent, and scalable logistics solutions, Lemonpath's collaboration with SnapFulfil positions it to meet growing customer expectations and operational demands across multiple sectors.
