Nuoceans case study: Bscale omnichannel fulfilment

Nuoceans

Founded on an ambitious vision to tackle ocean-bound plastic pollution, innovative footwear brand Nuoceans believes in turning ‘waste’ materials into value, one must-have product at a time. Their flagship recycled vegan leather sandals are made with 300g of reclaimed discarded flip-flops, alongside materials such as recycled cork and ocean plastic. Fun, funky and festival-ready, their range combines undeniable comfort with a genuine commitment to circularity – proving that style can be in step with sustainability.

Customer challenge

After launching in 2022, Nuoceans experienced a dilemma faced by many fast-growing fashion and lifestyle start-ups: in-house order fulfilment had gone from operational necessity to time-consuming burden. And, with demand accelerating across Europe, the team couldn’t afford to let logistics get in the way of the brand’s growth. They needed a third-party logistics (3PL) solution that would provide the specialised omnichannel capabilities and flexible capacity they needed to streamline fulfilment – freeing up the team to focus on expansion while keeping the customer experience front and centre.

Bleckmann’s approach

Many logistics providers set a high barrier to entry for new clients in terms of order volumes or initial investment, blocking emerging brands from getting the services they need. Our plug-and-play Bscale solution solves this through a ‘pay-as-you-grow’ model, giving Nuoceans the speed, scale and flexibility to cost-efficiently grow its reach across Europe and beyond. This is facilitated by our advanced automation capabilities.

Our expertise in fashion and lifestyle fulfilment further supports the brand in delivering a value-adding customer experience – from our extensive last-mile carrier network, spanning all EU markets, to the Bleckmann Returns Portal, which transforms what can be a pain point into a loyalty-driving moment. Bscale also enables more responsible delivery choices, such as recycled packaging, ensuring fulfilment aligns with the brand’s environmental ethos. With streamlined operations and end-to-end oversight, Nuoceans is now well-placed to drive consistency and speed across its omnichannel operations.
