Services that are tailored to suit you
Our customers are at the heart of our business. Every business we work with is unique, so they are treated that way and we pride ourselves on finding innovative solutions for each of our clients’ needs.
For some suppliers, the sheer scale of their operations means that a dedicated supply chain programme must be put in place in order to provide an efficient, high quality service on a daily basis.
Our employees are experts in this area as we have a number of individual depots and teams made available as dedicated points of contact for specific customers.
This means that we can provide the closest possible working relationship with customers, positioning ourselves as almost indistinguishable from their existing teams.
We put the right people in the right places, delivering total account management from planning, to order assembly, through to on-time distribution and proof of delivery.
Dedicated team for Tulip
One customer that this has worked particularly well for is Tulip, one of Britain’s leading food producing companies, which grew with Fowler Welch to be an all-encompassing supply chain.
This included a dedicated team that invested time and resource into familiarising itself with the customer’s complex operation, gaining trust of all parties by interpreting and understanding specific information and requirements.
Cross-docking for Tesco
Fowler Welch is proud to deliver to Tesco stores in specific regions. Where the distance from their RDCs is long – such as the South West and North East – Fowler Welch has developed cross-dock platforms allowing efficient double deck trunks to the regions before being cross-docked at Fowler Welch sites in Newton Abbot and Washington, Tyne and Wear for radial distribution to stores on smaller trailers and rigids.
With 110 stores served daily the focus on service is high, yet we have reduced food miles and cost as a result of these semi-dedicated operations.
This kind of attention to detail brings real peace of mind for major FMCG manufacturers serving multiple product sectors with a number of distribution demands. Through our linked IT systems, Fowler Welch reports in real time across both ambient and chilled supply chains, with the systems talking to customers as openly as they talk to us, offering complete transparency.
