Gioseppo’s story is one of evolution. From a small family-run shoe business in Spain, it has grown into a leading brand in the sector, now present in over 80 countries.
Alongside its international expansion, Gioseppo has diversified its sales channels and modernized its logistics processes. While multi-brand shoe stores remain the primary sales avenue, the distribution network now includes company-owned stores across Spain, spaces in major retail chains, and franchises.
Since 2023, the company has accelerated its growth through digital transformation and the launch of its online store. Products are available through the official brand website, digital outlets, and marketplaces. “Our goal is to guarantee that every customer enjoys the same shopping experience, no matter which channel they choose,” says José Miguel Navarro, Vice President and Co-Founder.
To implement true omnichannel logistics, Gioseppo needed to synchronize picking tasks across its warehouses accurately and efficiently. With the new version of Easy WMS, the company has centralized order processing, regardless of the sales channel. It now provides its customers with fast, consistent service.
Two warehouses, one software solution
In Elche (Spain), Gioseppo operates two rack-supported buildings equipped with Mecalux solutions: one with a capacity of 5,844 pallets and another dedicated to picking, with shelving for 480,000 boxes. Together, the facilities handle 1.6 million units of shoes.
Easy WMS organizes operations such as goods receipt, storage, order picking, and shipping. During peak season, warehouse associates fill an average of 3,500 orders per day across both facilities, as directed by the software.
“Easy WMS has brought us significant benefits. Now, we can access warehouse information more quickly. Checking stock is easier, and we have immediate traceability for all SKUs,” says Navarro.
Software for omnichannel management
Gioseppo implemented the new version of Easy WMS without disrupting warehouse operations. The project aimed to meet growing omnichannel demands and effectively support the company’s expansion. The software runs on an updated infrastructure that prevents technological obsolescence. This setup provides maximum security and availability so the footwear company can serve customers across any sales channel.
The new version of Easy WMS is built on a web-based architecture, allowing access from any location or device with an internet connection and the appropriate permissions. In practice, this means Gioseppo’s warehouse managers can monitor and coordinate operations across their logistics facilities from anywhere. “Easy WMS gives us peace of mind. It enables us to maintain up-to-date control of our processes and respond quickly to customer needs,” says Navarro.
Mecalux’s warehouse management system evolves continuously with periodic updates that introduce new capabilities, features, and applications. If needed, Gioseppo can expand Easy WMS with additional modules to further boost its omnichannel logistics efficiency.
A dedicated Mecalux R&D team ensures that the software stays compatible with the latest database versions and operating systems, proactively addressing potential issues. “With Easy WMS’s flexibility, the sky’s the limit. We can keep adapting our processes to tackle new omnichannel challenges,” says Navarro.
