In IKEA Logistics, we are responsible not just for receiving goods each day, but unloading the trucks, replenishing them in the store using forklifts, powered stackers and pallet lifters, ensuring that IKEA is ready by 10AM sharp when the store opens. After 10AM, when replenishment is done, we’re picking and then packing the goods for our customer delivery and hand-out.
