Logistics systems

 

Our logistics systems combine all the services above, making the life of the supermarket supplier a pleasurable experience and not fraught with hidden costs etc.

 

Our Regional Warehouses are strategically located throughout the UK & Ireland. If your direct deliveries to a Supermarket RDC get rejected, we have a relatively local solution. Rather than simply accept that your load has been rejected, we allow you to deliver to our warehouse where we will offload, repack, restack and redeliver on your behalf. This dramatically reduces costs, as the product does not have to be returned to point of dispatch, and all issues are dealt with locally.

 

Please see the map of our warehouse location below. We are one of only a few freight companies offering a truly one-stop-shop logistics solution for suppliers to the supermarket groups we serve. If you are looking for an integrated, timely, cost effective logistics service, you have come to the right place. We do not operate in the same way as a general pallet delivery system system, we stay until the job is done.

 

 

General Pallet Groupage delivery System – Disadvantages when delivering to Supermarket Groups

 

  • Pallet deliveries are expensive
  • Haulier will not wait past 30 mins of booking time
  • Goods get returned to hub and customer is charged for outward and return journey
  • Goods need to be re-booked, customer receives notice of delivery failure
  • Charged again for re-delivery

SCS – pallet consolidation services for supermarket groups
