(Oslo, 18 September 2026) - StrongPoint has been chosen by the Norwegian leading
fashion online retailer VILLOID to design and install its new Pio facility,
created by AutoStore, warehouse automation solution. The contract value is
approximately NOK 17 million, and the installation is expected to be completed
by Q2 2027.
VILLOID is Norway's largest curated fashion destination for women, with a
community of 500,000 women. Founded in Oslo in 2015, the company today offers
around 250 carefully selected brands, combining leading international and Nordic
labels with its own in-house brands.
VILLOID is moving its fulfilment centre to a new location, and the new Pio
system will be doubled in size as the retailer requires additional capacity to
support future growth. When completed the system is expected to be the largest
Pio installation in the world. Pio is powered by AutoStore technology, combining
high-density automated storage with goods-to-person fulfilment to help growing
e-commerce businesses increase capacity and operational efficiency.
"Retailers like VILLOID are looking for partners that understand their
fulfilment operations, not just automation. That aligns with StrongPoint's focus
on customer intimacy, working closely with customers to understand their
operations, improve operational outcomes, and act as a partner rather than
simply a supplier. We look forward to supporting VILLOID on its expanding
automation journey," said Jacob Tverabaak, StrongPoint CEO.
"We have had a very positive experience with AutoStore Pio over several years.
World class logistics with same-day delivery has been a key driver of our strong
and profitable growth, delivering on customers' expectations of exceptional
fulfilment service. StrongPoint will be a valuable partner as we continue our
expansion, and with the new, larger Pio system we look forward to the additional
capacity as we scale toward our next milestones. The facility will be the
largest AutoStore Pio facility in the world," said Jeanette Dyhre Kvisvik, CEO
and founder of VILLOID.
