How Mazeys Improved Order Fulfilment Speed and Accuracy with Helm

Mazeys.co.uk is a UK-based online clothing and footwear retailer specialising in retro-inspired fashion. Founded by David Sedman, the brand built a strong customer base through unique products and fast service. But behind the scenes, their manual fulfilment process was holding them back.

With no centralised inventory management system and a growing volume of orders, Mazeys struggled with overselling, fulfilment delays, and human error. The consequences were serious.

“I got suspended from eBay,” said founder David Sedman, after overselling stock due to system limitations. “That was the wake-up call.”

To fix the problem, Mazeys chose Helm—a modern warehouse management system (WMS) designed to help ecommerce businesses automate order fulfilment, improve inventory accuracy, and scale faster.

With Helm’s real-time stock sync, automated shipping workflows, and smart order management tools, Mazeys transformed their fulfilment process—cutting errors, saving time, and protecting their marketplace listings.

Implementation & Results

Before Helm, Mazeys handled orders manually across multiple channels—resulting in overselling, stock errors, and hours lost to inefficient workflows. Helm brought everything together in one platform. Orders now flow in automatically, stock updates in real-time, and every item is tracked from shelf to shipment.

“The chances of actually overselling are so slim it’s nobody’s business. Everything else is just a bonus.”
David Sedman, Founder of Mazeys

Faster Picking & Packing

Mazeys cut the average time to pick and pack an order from 5–6 minutes to just 2 minutes. Helm’s intuitive interface and guided workflow simplified the entire process, helping the team fulfil more orders in less time—with fewer mistakes.

“One of the best things that's ever happened to me in my business life is having a product like this that can do so much so easily. It's very empowering.”

Automated International Shipping

International shipping—especially to the US and Europe—used to involve time-consuming paperwork. With Helm, Mazeys generates customs-compliant shipping labels in seconds. What once took minutes per order is now as fast as a domestic dispatch.

The Results

  • Overselling virtually eliminated across all channels

  • 3x faster order fulfilment times

  • Lower return rates and support tickets

  • Seamless global shipping with automated customs labels

Conclusion

By implementing Helm, Mazeys gained a centralised fulfilment system that supports growth without adding complexity. Real-time inventory updates, faster dispatch, and automated shipping workflows have allowed the business to scale confidently—at home and abroad.
