To meet anticipated demands you need to ensure you have stock on-hand. This is a balancing act between ensuring that stock doesn’t become obsolescent, and that’s there is enough stock to service your outlets. We’re more than ready to meet your needs.
Consumer demands are increasing daily. This means that you need to keep products moving on a regular basis while still being flexible in case there is a spike in demand. We can deliver to all of our clients at least once a week, we delivery within 48 hours of ordering, and we also offer a nominated delivery day.
We deliver to on/off consumption venues. Having reliable distribution is key for both you and your clients, which is why we make it our priority.
Once a month we perform a stocktake of all the products stored. We do this so your product is safeguarded against shrinkage issues, dips in product performance, miscalculations of stock ordering and forecasting, damaged stock, as well as slow moving and obsolete stock.
Our backend software systems are fully integratable with most accounting systems. We’re also able to create stock lists via a scanning system and generate reports prior to distribution, minimising incorrect or cross picking.
No one wins when stock becomes obsolete. That’s why our warehouses operate on a First-In First-Out basis. By rotating stock regularly we ensure that there’s a reduction in SKU’s expiring or perishing.
We understand that there’s a risk when moving large sums of cash. That’s why we’ve partnered with Fidelity Cash Management Services to ensure that cash is regularly banked and does not stay on the property. We also ensure that principals are updated daily on compliance in terms of invoicing.
While our warehouses meet the Service Legal Agreement standard, we strive to be better. By exceeding international warehousing and distribution standards we can guarantee that you’re receiving the best service.
Our entire fleet is monitored by a tracking system. While this helps minimise risks related to criminal activities, it also gives our clients an accurate time when their stock will arrive.
