Each Skyfleet site features 150 to 200 Skypod robots and supports 100,000 to 125,000 storage locations, with a capacity for 3,000 to 4,000 order lines per hour. The initiative has led to significant improvements in efficiency, with sites like Setúbal doubling their order processing capacity to 114,000 orders per day.

Standardization has also reduced workplace incidents and minimized picker walking distances. The program is designed to be flexible, allowing resource reallocation during peak demand while maintaining local management.
