StrongPoint Expands Automated Fulfillment Offering with Pio Partnership 

Published: 20. March 2025

StrongPoint, a leading provider of retail technology, has announced a partnership with Pio, a new warehouse automation system designed for retailers and third-party logistics providers.  

Created by AutoStore, Pio is tailored for businesses seeking a compact, high-density warehouse automation solution maximizing space and efficiency without the complexity of large-scale systems. Offering a plug-and-play model, Pio leverages cube storage technology by AutoStore in a simplified format where the customer can avoid major warehouse overhauls or expensive consultancy.  

StrongPoint has been at the forefront of retail automation, building and installing the world’s first multi-temperature AutoStore system with an integrated frozen zone. By partnering with Pio, StrongPoint is expanding its automated fulfillment offerings to provide retailers with a broader range of solutions, particularly for smaller-scale e-commerce operations.  

Pio automation users can also integrate with StrongPoint’s world-leading manual order picking and last-mile solutions. This enables retailers and third-party logistics providers to maximize efficiency and profitability by combining smaller-scale automation with hyper-efficient order picking for products not stored in the automated system, followed by streamlined home delivery or click-and-collect pickup.  

We are committed to providing retailers with advanced, cost-efficient, and flexible fulfillment solutions. Partnering with Pio expands our offering, ensuring customers have the best options, whether they require large-scale automation with AutoStore or compact solutions with Pio. Retailers need adaptable fulfillment for different store formats and order sizes. By adding Pio to StrongPoint’s automation portfolio, we help customers optimize strategies, drive efficiency, and increase profitability,” said James Palmer, VP of Automation at StrongPoint.  

We’re proud to be partnering with StrongPoint. Bringing our range of Pio products to even more small businesses globally. With a shared vision for smarter fulfillment, Pio’s automated products fit right into StrongPoint’s ecosystem – giving retailers more flexibility and efficiency than ever. Exciting times ahead!”, said Dag Meltveit, Head of Pio.
