Growing order volumes put pressure on picking and fulfilment. We have the teams and processes ready to support your online operations.

Barona’s management models, trained teams and performance dashboards enable transparent, continuously improving operations.

Leave resourcing and shift planning to us. You focus on sales, customers and growth.

Why choose Barona for retail outsourcing?

Access to staff without fixed costs

With outsourcing, you pay only for work carried out. Resources adapt to sales and demand without the burden of heavy recruitment processes.

Always the right level of resourcing

We take care of workforce planning, task allocation and team management. You get to focus on customers and business development.

Quality, safety and continuous improvement

Trained, experienced employees, a coached management team and transparent reporting ensure high-quality delivery. Operations are developed continuously in close collaboration with the client.

Retail expertise you can rely on

We have been a trusted outsourcing partner in grocery and speciality retail for over 15 years. We have a thorough understanding of the sector’s rhythms, demands and the importance of customer experience.

E-commerce picking: efficiency and predictability

E-commerce is growing rapidly, and with it comes the need for efficient, flexible picking operations. Barona’s e-commerce picking services offer a cost-effective, unit-priced model where you pay only for work done. This brings clarity to budgeting and frees up management resources for other priorities.

  • Resourcing aligned with demand. We optimise staffing directly to need, minimising wasted hours.
  • Quality management and motivation. Employee performance is monitored and strong results are recognised. This improves retention and reduces turnover.
  • Collaboration and combined tasks. We aim to combine picking with other retail duties, helping employees build broader skills and customer service capabilities – making daily operations run more smoothly as a result.

Shelf stacking: reliable product availability

Barona’s shelf stacking service ensures products are always available when customers need them. Stacking is handled by experienced teams supported by a data-driven shelf stacking application. This enables precise resource use, performance tracking and continuous development in partnership with the retailer. Work is typically carried out in the early morning hours, before customers arrive.
