Kukoon Rugs: A real family business goes from local to global, with StoreFeeder.

How Kukoon Rugs cut despatch time by 50% with StoreFeeder

The issues

Rapid growth exposing operational bottlenecks

Kukoon Rugs was growing at a phenomenal rate, but warehouse operations had not kept pace.

With just two people handling despatch, the team was responsible for everything, from creating and managing picking lists to picking stock, packing orders, and organising courier despatch. Much of this work was manual, time-consuming, and unsupported by any real system.

On busy days, these processes became a bottleneck rather than a support function, pulling the owners deeper into day-to-day operations instead of allowing them to focus on strategic growth.

The brief

Revolutionise picking, packing, and despatch

Kukoon Rugs needed to fundamentally rethink how orders flowed through the warehouse.

The goal was clear:

  • Replace manual, paper-based processes
  • Introduce a structured, scalable system
  • Put the right tools in place to ensure the business could run efficiently, even during peak periods

The solution

One platform powering fast, reliable fulfilment

StoreFeeder transformed Kukoon Rugs’ despatch operation by centralising orders, couriers, and warehouse workflows into a single system.

What was once a complex, multi-hour daily process was reduced to a short, structured task handled by one person instead of two.

“StoreFeeder has reduced this down to a 20-minute task each day for one person. It manages all of our orders, all of our couriers, all of our courier services. It gets the right orders out, on time, and keeps our customers happy.”

The platform introduced a consistent, repeatable despatch process that removed reliance on manual lists and individual knowledge. Picking, packing, label printing, and courier allocation all happen within the same workflow.

While StoreFeeder is an off-the-shelf platform, Kukoon Rugs found it flexible enough to support every warehouse and despatch requirement as the business evolved.

“There’s nothing we want to do within our warehousing or despatch order management that StoreFeeder hasn’t been able to facilitate.”

The result was not just speed, but confidence, consistency, and scalability.

The impact

Time saved, owners freed, customers happier

The operational improvements delivered clear, measurable benefits:

  • 50% reduction in time spent despatching orders
  • Despatch processes reduced to a 20-minute daily task
  • Fewer operational bottlenecks during peak periods
  • Owners able to work on the business, not in it
  • Faster, more reliable fulfilment for customers

As Paul explains, the efficiency gains only truly make sense once you see them in action:

“50% sounds like a phenomenal saving. It almost sounds too good to be true. But once you see it happening, you realise this is actually how things should work in an online company.”
