Transforming your business
Measuring customer experience from the receipt of their first order up to delivery.
Collate data regarding production cycle to enable customised individual requirements.
Understand & measure how we deliver what the customer needs.
Before they impact on customers
Through barcode technology, we can model delivery critical ‘manufacturing stage gates’ for the product to pass through by a certain time.
Our custom-built systems automatically trigger alerts of rare potential problems, thereby saving you time and money.
The same technology underpins customer order tracking, dispatch & delivery, with everything scanned on & off lorries, allowing orders to be delivered on-time-in-full.
This allows us to improve our operation. Elements of each order are checked before loading the lorry & then rescanned on & off the lorry.
This eliminates the chance of shipping incomplete orders. The truck won’t leave until everything is accounted for.
Creating a faster, simpler system
All products are scanned off.
System issues a customer delivery note & audit, providing clear audit trails.
Piloting functionality for products damaged in transit to be re-scanned for priority factory remakes to cut delays and improve service.
