One Contract Logistics Partner, Two Facilities
At Delamode, we are proud of our two AEO-accredited bonded sites: our portside facility in Southampton UK and our twin facility in Roosendaal Netherlands. With our port-centric model and daily shuttle service, we enable customers of our bonded and non-bonded warehousing services to easily move products between UK and EU markets and customs jurisdictions within 24 hours, to help you position your stock closer to specific retailers/customers.
Working with a single contract logistics company with two facilities in the UK and Europe has a number of benefits:
One System for Both Facilities
We use Blue Yonder WMS across both our UK and EU warehouses, which we customise to your unique needs, to provide you with a unified view of your supply chain, centralised transparent data, and the ability to easily manage your supply chain across both facilities.
Using a single powerful system provides a number of benefits.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Working with a contract logistics company with a single system across multiple facilities provides you with accurate, real-time visibility into your inventory levels across both locations, helping you to meet retailer and customer demand, forecast accurately, schedule shipping, and prevent stockouts and overstocking.
Optimised Warehouse Efficiency
Our single system helps to optimise picking, packing and shipping, improve workflow efficiency, and reduce order fulfilment times across both territories.
Scalability
Our Blue Yonder system supports your growth, and can easily scale to accommodate expanding operations.
Productivity Management
The system includes labour management tools, enabling us to track worker performance, optimise track allocation, ensure workforce efficiency, reduce labour costs, and ultimately deliver on client KPI’s
Omnichannel Fulfilment / Integrations
Our single system integrates seamlessly with retail partner and online order platforms to ensure coordination between online orders, in-store pickups, and traditional retail deliveries, and to streamline integrations with major retailer platforms, e-commerce platforms, and ERP and TMS systems.
Order Accuracy & Reduced Error
By supporting automated order processing, and including features like barcode scanning, our WMS improves order accuracy, minimises picking and packing errors, and reduces returns.
Fast Response to Market Changes & Space Utilisation
Our agile system’s advanced slotting capabilities enable you to place your products in the optimal territory based on fluctuations in customer demand, seasonal peaks, size, and handling requirements. This helps to maximise your storage space and reduce operating costs.
Compliance & Traceability
Our team of contract logistics specialists help to support your compliance with industry regulations, and our system provides full traceability of your products, and product lifecycle – from receipt to shipment.
