Record-Breaking Achievements
We are incredibly proud to announce that 2024 has been another phenomenal year of growth and achievement for Industore Limited. Our unwavering dedication to pioneering solutions has propelled us to another record year, marking significant milestones and expansion into diverse and exciting markets. We’re thrilled to report robust growth, highlighting the increasing adoption of automated storage technology among businesses of all sizes.
Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems and Industry Trends:
It is projected that the automated storage and retrieval system market will reach USD 17.1 Billion by 2032 (Global Market Insights Inc). This projection underscores the accelerating demand for optimised warehouse management solutions across industries. In the UK, Industore has seen particular growth in sectors such as e-commerce, retail and automotive, where we remain at the forefront of this surge in demand. Here, we continue to offer turnkey solutions, ensuring that our clients receive truly transformational solutions – our signature interior logic, as well as the world’s leading automated storage and retrieval solutions.
Increasingly, businesses are integrating their automated storage/retrieval systems with advanced software like HänelSoft. The integration simplifies inventory management, offering batch control, FIFO strategies, and intelligent forecasting for optimized inventory levels and reduced stockouts.

Advantages of Automated storage/retrieval systems:
AS/RS technologies (whether VLM (vertical lift modules) or automated storage carousels) offer multifaceted benefits, including space optimisation, precise inventory tracking, and reduced labour costs. These advantages position AS/RS systems as strategic investments for organisations aiming to elevate their supply chain management capabilities. There are enormous benefits to automated storage/retrieval systems, far too many to list in one company update – but below are some of the top advantages.
