Adding value through smart solutions
Business – and indeed industry itself – is constantly reacting and evolving, driving the race to discover new ways to gain a competitive advantage. While the focus is often on the ‘what’ – the physical products that come to market, Big Box Group Managing Director, Iain Gillard, says the way technology is integrated is equally as vital in helping businesses achieve a more profitable future
A
utomation has seen strong growth over the last two years and its advantages are obvious. Picking, moving and
sorting with robotics can help improve effi ciencies and, ultimately, the bottom line. But there’s more to it than that: “Businesses face challenges every single day. Often, they want quick, cost-eff ective solutions to solve it. Depending on what the challenge is, racking, handling equipment, a robot or even an entire building can plug that gap,” says Iain. “We pride ourselves on delivering smarter solutions – making sure they are fi t for purpose but also designed to improve the situation beyond what’s in front of the client.”
Innovative solutions Big Box Group has been providing innovative solutions to a variety of businesses, from SMEs to blue-chip companies, since its formation over twenty years ago.

needed, allowing any type of business – from manufacturing and warehousing to online fulfi lment – maximise its return on investment. Iain says: “We see the challenge, which we can solve, but we also see the opportunity by looking at the bigger picture. The opportunity to help our clients achieve a better return on investment can often be found in analysing the way they do things, how they use their space and the technology they already have. “We can deliver market-leading technology. We can give our clients the solution they’re looking for. But the real diff erence is felt in how it’s all integrated. We look at the bigger picture, and look deeper at the operation, which means we strip things back and examine the challenge from diff erent angles. That’s often when we discover areas where a client can make further gains.”
Client-specific
When a client came to Big Box Group requesting more racking, Iain and his team analysed the existing racking within the warehouse and proposed it reconfi gures the space by making its aisles narrower to create a more streamlined and effi cient operation, which maximised the footprint
of the entire building.
“Sometimes, the solution isn’t as complex or as expensive as the client thinks,” says Iain. “It just needs a bit of smart thinking. We’ll take the time to listen, to really understand the issue at hand. That’s how we can deliver an eff ective solution while also creating opportunities the client never knew it had.”
This approach allows Big Box Group to
provide a unique take on a challenging situation. Everything it does is to add value and off er an advantage – all the while making its clients’ lives easier and simpler.
“The tech and the products are one thing, but the creative approach and the integration to know they’re exactly what’s required is the thing that really drives effi ciencies and long-term profi t,” says Iain. “Ultimately, it’s all about getting the right fi t and, through our trusted partnerships and innovative approach, we’re perfectly placed to create smart and effi cient integrated solutions.”
