LOGISTICS & SUPPLY CHAIN
Bespoke packing and delivery As a direct result of a meeting at the Internet Retailing Show in 2011, The Charapak Group has established a bespoke packaging and distribution operation for newly-launched online wine retailer
WineSimplicity.com. Charapak has designed and produced a striking wine case in three sizes for four, six and twelve wine bottles. Its Repak contract packing arm, meanwhile, provides storage for around 6,000 bottles of wine with a pick and packing service that prepares all orders ready for collection by the delivery courier by 5pm each weekday. Using a computer link-up between Wine Simplicity and Repak, each order received on the website is acknowledged, processed for payment and then passed directly to Repak. Once the wines have been selected and prepared for despatch, the Repak system confirms to Wine Simplicity that the order has been completed. The system also provides stock management and re-ordering for the wines. For more information call +44 (0) 1773 835735 or email
