IKEA is a global leader in home furnishing brand from Sweden that currently operates in around 70 countries with nearly 700 stores worldwide.

In Indonesia, IKEA opened its first store in Alam Sutera in 2014, and in 2021 established its 4th store at Jakarta Garden City (JGC). IKEA Jakarta Garden City is also known as the largest iKEA store in Indonesia with an area of approximately 89,000 m². 

Challenge

At IKEA JGC, operations are divided into 2 main units: in-store retail and online order fulfillment across Indonesia. 

As e-commerce and online shopping continued to grow rapidly, the fulfillment team manages an average of 1,500 orders per day, reaching up to 2,000 orders during peak campaign periods, such as double dates. 

With 9,000 SKUs but storage capacity for only 5,000 pickfaces, the team faced challenges maintaining operational efficiency. 

“Our main challenge lies in space and capacity management, as we have limited storage space that must be shared between in-store operations and online order fulfillment.” 

— Prayogo Hermawan, Central Fulfillment Goods Flow Manager at IKEA Indonesia 

That’s why IKEA team collaborated with Intramega Global to increase pickfaces and improve picking productivity without expanding the warehouse space. 

Solution: Storeganizer High-Density Storage System  

To solve the challenge, we proposed implementing Storeganizer, a high-density storage system to maximize cubic space and improve SKU accessibility. 

A total of 1,100 Storeganizer units were installed across 24 bays with large-sized, 2-depth pockets. Each unit is customized with durable PVC-coated polyester pockets, that can hold up to 20 kg/pocket or 100 kg/column.

Through this project, IKEA Jakarta Garden City successfully accommodated all 9,000 SKUs while adding around 1,000 new pickfaces within the existing warehouse space. 

Not only improving storage density, Storeganizer’s ergonomic design also improves picking efficiency and pickers productivity. 

“Thanks to the Storeganizer solution provided by Intramega, we’ve been able to significantly enhance productivity, storage density, and overall operational efficiency at IKEA.” 

— Prayogo Hermawan, IKEA Indonesia 

By implementing Storeganizer, IKEA Jakarta Garden City optimized its existing storage capacity and achieved better operational efficiency. 

This collaboration highlights how high-density storage systems can enable operational growth while keeping costs and space under control.
