MOVING & LIFTING
FIVE KEY WAYS BUSINESSES CAN SAVE TIME, MONEY AND SPACE WITH SPECIALIST PALLET FULFILMENT
T
echnology-driven advances allow businesses to offer their customers greater service levels than ever before, but it can also mean there are also new obstacles and challenges to overcome. This is
particularly true in the fast-paced world of palletised freight, where getting the right goods delivered to the right place at the right time can be a full-time job in itself. Jenny O’Brien, head of Fulfilment at Palletways
UK, knows the problem only too well and says that businesses are increasingly concluding that it is no longer possible, or even desirable, to try and manage everything in house. She says: “By going it alone, businesses may
need to find more space to cope with seasonal demands, while also having to employ more staff to get the work done and this is often not a good use of either time or resources. “Every client has their own unique needs and
requirements but usually they all want help with three main issues; the need to save time, money and space. With this in mind, many companies are looking for ways to outsource their logistics needs to specialist business partners to allow them to concentrate on their core business instead. “That is why more and more businesses are turning to specialist business partners such as Palletways UK to fulfil that role for them so that they free up valuable resources to spend on running and developing their own businesses.” Drawing on her nineteen years’ experience at
Palletways UK, O’Brien has identified five key areas where businesses can benefit from partnering with Palletways Fulfilment:
NEXT DAY DELIVERY WITH LATE CUT- OFF ORDER TIMES
Palletways Fulfilment is located at its Fradley hub and offers direct access to the Palletways network, allows for reduced trunking costs from external warehouses and gives later cut-off times due to reduced travel time for goods into the hub.
LAST-MILE DELIVERY SOLUTIONS
An offsite warehouse may not be able to offer the last leg of delivery, but Palletways’ location means it can insert directly in to the Palletways network via the company’s main Fradley hub, with no extra work for the client, resulting in time savings that the client can direct elsewhere.
