Pio Automated Storage System

Pio, created by AutoStore, is a simplified warehouse automation solution — faster and more cost-effective to set up than traditional AutoStore, while still delivering significant improvements in storage capacity and picking speed.

Pio is the ideal solution for smaller retailers or warehouses looking to enhance efficiency without major infrastructure changes. As a Pio partner, StrongPoint integrates Pio with our broad technology portfolio, helping businesses store more, pick faster, and improve the customer experience.

Faster order fulfilment

Pio is the fastest automated storage and retrieval system per square meter. Which means you can pick and deliver your orders up to 5x faster than with traditional warehousing.

Better space utilization

Store more products with up to 90% less space needed, thanks to the compact cube storage solution.

Easy and fast to implement

A plug and play solution that can be up and running in less than 2 weeks, which also means reduced implementation costs.

Connected

Easy-to-use software allows you to sync inventory, orders and shipments, as well as connect to other solutions such as StrongPoint Click & Collect lockers.

40 years of retail experience meets top class automation

StrongPoint is uniquely positioned to maximize the potential for retailers and wholesalers with our experience in the sector. Setting up warehouse space, handling items from different temperature zones, integrating with seamless last-mile options, and combining manual picking for certain items are all areas of our expertise. StrongPoint ensures operational efficiency throughout the entire process.

Last mile integration

StrongPoint has the market’s most complete last mile solution portfolio, handling both all forms of click & collect and home delivery. Want to deliver products directly from the warehouse to the customer? We can integrate seamlessly the most efficient solutions in the market.

Always stable

Powered by AutoStore’s industry-leading technology, Pio delivers a 99.7% system uptime for reliable, uninterrupted operations. StrongPoint handles installation, service, and ongoing maintenance to keep everything running smoothly.

Easy to learn, easy to get started

Pio’s intuitive system is designed for quick adoption—most users can learn to operate it in just five minutes. Plus, with ready-made integrations and open APIs, it easily connects to your existing software and workflows.

The sustainable option

High-tech doesn’t have to mean high energy consumption. Pio’s robots are designed for efficiency, using just 100 watts—about the same as a laptop and less than a standard vacuum cleaner.

What our customers say

“We know that the grocery industry, one of StrongPoint’s key markets, is very demanding. So we knew that with StrongPoint, we would get a team working to the highest of standards and who is obsessed with efficiency.” Ole Bakurowitz, Product Manager at ColliCare

Automating makes us able to grow our revenue by 3 times, and at the same time we make the work environment better for the employees. Our collaboration with StrongPoint has been excellent. Thorstein Kirkeleit, Business Development Manager at Haugaland Storhusholdning

Pick the right orders at the right time

With 99,7% order picking accuracy, Pio ensures that every order is fulfilled with precision—boosting efficiency and keeping customers happy. How essential is that? We think the video below highlights just how essential it is.

Integration with last mile and picking non-automated items

StrongPoint’s automation offer can help boost the overall efficiency of a fulfilment operation beyond automation.

When it comes to retail, some SKUs may not be suitable for automation. From fast-movers to certain bulky items, it can make more sense to pick these manually.

And you still need to get those orders out of the warehouse quickly. Perishable items require hyper-efficient last-mile integration, whether for home delivery or click-and-collect. Many other e-commerce products, from homewares to clothing and books, also demand rapid fulfillment. We’ve got you covered.

With StrongPoint, you gain single-provider access to the world’s most efficient manual order-picking solutions, seamlessly integrated with multiple last-mile options, including grocery lockers, quick-commerce pickup, and home delivery for a wide range of goods.

We’re your one-stop shop for all your retail and warehousing needs.
