Movu atlas for 3PL

Add shuttles when a client grows, and take them out when one leaves.

Running a 3PL warehouse means planning for business you can't see yet. Clients come and go, their ranges keep growing, and labour shortages now rank among the top challenges for Europe's largest logistics occupiers.

Benefits of a Movu atlas system

Every new contract changes the warehouse. Here's how Movu atlas keeps up.

An integrated lift moving a pallet between racking levels

Scalable

Your volumes change with every contract.

The challenge: build for the peak and the system sits idle; build for today and you run out of room.

What Movu atlas does: add shuttles as volumes grow and extend the racking when you need space, while the warehouse keeps running.

Flexible

Every client's stock is different.

The challenge: one client ships full pallets, another needs picking, the next brings a pallet size you haven't stored before.

What Movu atlas does: one system stores pallets, keeps picking stocked and holds outgoing loads, on standard pallet formats.

Dense

Space is the one thing you can't add mid-contract.

The challenge: when a client grows, the building doesn't, and every forklift aisle is floor that holds no stock.

What Movu atlas does: shuttles work deep storage lanes with fewer, narrower aisles, so more of the floor holds pallets.

Efficient

Labour is hard to find, and harder to plan around.

The challenge: in CBRE's 2025 survey of Europe's largest logistics occupiers, labour shortages ranked among the top business challenges.

What Movu atlas does: shuttles move pallets in and out of storage automatically, whoever turns up for the shift.

Compatible

Your clients won't wait while you rebuild.

The challenge: service levels don't pause for a building project, and the system has to talk to your WMS.

What Movu atlas does: fits existing buildings and new builds, goes in phase by phase, and connects to your WMS.

“

Movu's atlas is an efficient and scalable automated warehousing solution that can adapt to our requirements due to its modularity and the ability to add shuttles as required”

The Movu atlas Storage & Retrieval System

Five parts, one system. Here's what a 3PL needs to know.

The shuttle gets most of the attention, but it only works as well as the racking it runs on, the lifts that feed it and the software that tells it where to go.

stow Group builds the racking. Movu builds the shuttles and the software. Both come out of the same stow Group supply chain in Europe and the US.

01 Racking

Can it grow with my contracts?

Yes. The stow racking is modular, so you can extend it when you need more space, in an existing building, a new build or a rack-supported silo.

stow Group, number one in European racking, designs and builds the structure for every Movu atlas system, with production in Europe and the US. It's built for 4-way shuttles from the start.

Because it's modular, you don't have to build today for a peak you might never reach.

Planning for the next contract?

Start with a conversation. No obligation, and no need to have a project ready.
