Technology and Innovation
Giving our customers greater control
Levels of speed and simplicity that set us apart from our competition
As the industry as a whole faces more pressure to meet increasing consumer demands, one of the main ways we’ve been able to help our customers run the most efficient supply chain is through information. Having a specialised in-house IT team that can handle all kinds of data and translate it into the format our customers need means we can offer our customers transparency, giving them greater control.
This focus on building a strong and responsive customer-centric information technology platform is at the centre of everything we do as a business. Our consistent investment in this area enables us to deliver levels of speed and simplicity that set us apart from our competition.
At the centre of this is our people. Our in-house team boasts a strong background in transport, warehouse and EDI technologies. Many of them have experience in operational roles, so they don’t just know the technology but have an understanding of our customers’ needs and our ‘real world’ processes.
This allows Fowler Welch to focus on a deliverable partnership with customers, working quickly to implement answers for every need – whether that’s standard or customised EDI interfaces or reports tailored to their specific needs. In truth, our focus is quite simply to deliver any aspect of value-adding technology that supports our ultimate delivery of a robust business solution.
The future of Fowler Welch is bright, with innovation playing a key part in the development of our services. As the retail landscape is experiencing a fundamental shift, our focus is on investing in technology that will allow for quick decision making with guaranteed accuracy. The developments currently being put in place will see technology such as voice picking and use of tablets to increase picking efficiency and allow our workforce to be more flexible in the way that they operate.
Over many years of investment, enabling us currently to handle over 150,000 pallets and 1.5m cases picked each week efficiently and economically, Fowler Welch has partnered with some of the best names in supply chain systems and this is only expected to continue and develop.
