Boozt invests in ergonomics and job satisfaction
It's full speed ahead at Boozt, an e-commerce company that delivers fashion to customers daily. Behind the scenes, Boozt places great importance on looking after its employees. In order to enhance ergonomics and streamline workflows, the company decided to make improvements at its expansive warehouse in Ängelholm. Partnering with our warehouse optimisation experts, Boozt initiated a process of positive change, ensuring a better work environment for its team.
The atmosphere buzzes from the machines that slide along rails on the ceiling. It's an impressive sight, showcasing the cutting-edge technology behind Boozt’s state-of-the-art robotic warehouse. The picking work is done automatically, but several important steps require a human hand. New goods that come in need to be registered and all orders are packed by the staff.
A good day at work - every day
At Boozt, fostering a great working environment is a core part of the business. The company places a strong emphasis on ensuring staff feel happy and supported - a value that’s immediately clear when you step into their warehouse. The atmosphere is upbeat, with employees working together to ensure customers receive their orders in perfectly packed parcels.
Boozt is always looking for ways to improve. To make packing and delivery tasks smoother and more ergonomic, they turned to us at AJ Products for assistance. The aim? To reduce unnecessary strain and awkward movements, creating a better workflow and a healthier work environment.
“The EHS team at Boozt, which focuses on improvement projects, brought us on board to tackle their challenges,” says Magnus Andersson, Project Sales Representative at AJ Products. “It’s been such a rewarding experience to join them on this journey and help create a safer, more efficient workspace for their team. Based on a quick sketch of their needs, we developed customised workstations tailored to their operations.”
Better ergonomics with new packing tables
Flexibility is key when it comes to creating workstations that suit everyone, regardless of height. Adjustable tables play a crucial role in reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries. With the introduction of electric height-adjustable tables at Boozt, employees can now effortlessly raise or lower their workstations at the push of a button. The ease of adjustment encourages frequent use, significantly improving ergonomics and comfort by ensuring an ideal working height.
Another challenge was improving access to packing materials. Reaching for supplies in awkward positions puts unnecessary strain on the body, something Boozt was eager to avoid. To solve this, Magnus introduced smart additions to the packing tables - shelves that move with the table as it’s adjusted. Now, essential materials are always within easy reach, creating a more efficient and ergonomic packing process.
What I appreciate most is being able to adjust the table to a height that suits me, so I don’t experience pain in my back or shoulders.
Cecillia Lundberg, warehouse worker at Boozt
In the delivery department, staff often found it challenging to fit items on the tables properly when unpacking, with products often falling to the floor. This issue was resolved by introducing new work tables with larger surfaces and a wide cutting edge at the back to keep items securely in place. These upgraded workstations also feature electric height adjustments, ensuring optimal ergonomics for every employee.
Saving time with packing trolleys and rolling tables
To make refilling packaging materials at workstations more efficient, customised packaging trolleys were introduced. These trolleys allow staff to easily access the materials they need and they include a convenient shelf for holding boxes while they’re being folded. Beyond saving time, the trolleys offer the added benefit of storing larger packaging materials, freeing up valuable space at the packing stations.
Magnus also provided an innovative solution in the form of a rolling table. This allows staff to move around the warehouse with equipment like computers and handheld scanners. The flexibility of having a mobile mini-office not only simplifies tasks but also saves time, improving overall workflow.
Better job satisfaction means increased productivity
When the steps in doing your job are simplified, the work immediately becomes easier and more enjoyable. At the new workstations, frequently used materials are within easy reach. Everything has its place and no time is wasted searching. Unnecessary time wasters and annoyances disappear. A few minutes here and there can add up to quite a lot in an entire working day.
We noticed straight away that productivity increased and workflow has improved. Thanks to the adapted workstations, packing work happens faster and more efficiently.
Frida Lindström, EHS Coordinator BooztAt Boozt, a series of changes have been introduced that, together, make a significant impact. Tasks can now be carried out more efficiently and in a way that prioritises the health and well-being of the staff. Good ergonomics and productivity go hand in hand - reducing fatigue and ensuring comfortable working positions not only improve efficiency but also boost job satisfaction. This shared goal is something both we and Boozt are proud to support.
