Eliminate Size Swaps, Reduce Returns, and Stay in Control

In footwear, precision matters. EGO Shoes, SkateHut, and Ultra Football rely on Descartes Peoplevox to manage thousands of sizes, styles, and colors across rapidly scaling ecommerce operations. Our WMS helps them ship the right product the first time and avoid costly size-related returns.

We now have accurate stock control and inventory levels, and we can scale staff levels up and down for any Peak periods. The [Descartes Peoplevox] system has been a game-changer for us.

Size Mix-Ups That Cost Customers

A US 9 is not the same as a UK 9. Left/right mismatches or gendered sizing mistakes lead to returns and lost customers.

How Peoplevox Helps:

• Barcode validation and scanning at pick, pack, and dispatch
• Gender/region-specific SKU differentiation
• Custom labeling and packing rules to reduce errors

Inventory That Consumes Too Much Space

Shoeboxes eat up warehouse capacity. Without intelligent organization, space fills fast, slowing pick rates and causing errors.

How Peoplevox Helps:

• Configurable bin sizes and putaway logic
• Zonal picking for large or bulky items
• Optimized layout suggestions during onboarding

High Return Rates and Delayed Resale

Shoes are returned often for fit and style. If resale is delayed, inventory bloats and margins shrink.

How Peoplevox Helps:

• Structured return flows with reason coding
• Real-time restock, quarantine, or write-off actions
• Data to inform sizing accuracy and reduce future returns
