Within fourteen days, Widem had organised the relocation of stock from the previous 3PL to its warehouse in Rekkem.<\/p>\n<p>During the first operational phase, Widem also ensured continued deliveries to Pop Mart stores in France. Store deliveries were planned around fixed delivery windows and high-frequency retail flows and the team hit every mark, week in and week out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:50px;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Poppins&quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:700;margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">From French retail distribution to European logistics scope<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2 jouw-id\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color6);\" id=\"jouw-id\"><p>Following the start-up phase in France, Widem\u2019s role expanded to support new store openings in Bordeaux, Marseille, Paris, Lyon and Lille. The operation included store replenishment, delivery planning, urban distribution and coordination between warehousing, transport and customer support.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2025, Pop Mart also added wholesale and retail distribution in France and Spain to the Widem operation. This involved deliveries to independent boutiques with different order profiles, delivery schedules and service requirements.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2026, Pop Mart awarded Widem the European and UK logistics tender. As a result, Widem now acts as Pop Mart\u2019s Regional Distribution Centre for Europe and the UK. The scope includes retail distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and returns across multiple European markets and the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:50px;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Poppins&quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:700;margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">Integrated operations and clear ownership<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3 jouw-id\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color6);\" id=\"jouw-id\"><p>From the start of the collaboration, Widem focused on three operational priorities: <span style=\"font-family: Poppins; font-weight: bold;\" data-fusion-font=\"true\" data-fusion-google-font=\"Poppins\" data-fusion-google-variant=\"700\">available warehouse capacity, the right people on the project and clear delivery commitments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe didn\u2019t need to build new systems.

This integrated setup allows international retail brands to centralise European stock management while serving multiple local markets with speed and precision.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration with Pop Mart also shows how Belgian logistics providers can support international retailers beyond traditional warehousing. Retail brands increasingly need partners that can manage physical store distribution, wholesale flows, e-commerce fulfilment and returns within one coordinated operation.<\/p>\n<p>For Widem, the Pop Mart partnership is a concrete example of that evolution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-right:80px;--awb-padding-bottom:50px;--awb-padding-left:50px;--awb-overflow:hidden;--awb-bg-color:var(--awb-color5);--awb-bg-color-hover:var(--awb-color5);--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-radius:45px 15px 15px 15px;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:15px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:20px;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Poppins&quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:700;margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">About Widem Logistics<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Widem Logistics is an international logistics provider specialising in transport, customs, retail distribution, fulfilment and e-fulfilment.
