CALL OFF ORDERS

By leveraging economies of scale, your business can benefit from ordering large quantities of products without the burden of storing them on your own premises. This approach allows you to take advantage of bulk purchasing discounts, reducing the cost per unit and increasing overall savings. Rather than needing to allocate valuable space for storage, we handle that for you, ensuring that your inventory is safely and securely held.

We also provide the flexibility to deliver the goods as and when they are required, so you only receive stock when it is needed. This reduces the risk of overstocking, minimizes waste, and ensures you maintain an efficient supply chain. Additionally, our invoicing process is aligned with deliveries, making it easier for you to manage cash flow and expenses over time, rather than paying for large quantities upfront.

This system is particularly beneficial for safeguarding your business against future price increases. By ordering in advance and locking in current prices, you can protect your margins from the fluctuations of market pricing. It also ensures that you are never caught off guard by unexpected stock shortages, keeping your operations running smoothly and maintaining customer satisfaction.

CONSIGNMENT STOCK

Ideal for businesses that need to maintain stock within a limited quantity, ensuring efficient use of space and resources without overcommitting to inventory. We work closely with you to establish agreed-upon minimum and maximum stock levels that suit your operational needs. By setting these parameters, you can maintain optimal inventory levels, avoiding both overstocking and stock shortages.

Once these thresholds are defined, we actively monitor your stock over a specified period, ensuring that your inventory stays within the agreed limits. If your stock approaches the minimum level, we replenish it in a timely manner to prevent any disruption to your supply chain. We’ll also ensure that you don’t exceed the maximum level, preventing unnecessary storage costs or the risk of product obsolescence.

This proactive inventory management system gives you peace of mind, knowing that you will always have the necessary stock on hand without worrying about running out or tying up valuable capital in excess inventory. It allows for smooth, continuous operations while freeing you from the stress of managing stock levels manually.

FREE STOCK HOLDING

We offer a comprehensive service where we hold your stock in our warehouse, freeing up valuable space at your own premises. This allows you to focus on core business activities without the burden of managing storage. When you need your stock, you can simply call off the quantities required, and we will handle the rest.

To provide maximum convenience and efficiency, we dispatch stock on a next-day delivery service. This just-in time solution ensures that you receive your products exactly when you need them, helping you maintain a smooth workflow and avoiding the costs associated with holding excess inventory. Whether you need items at short notice or on a regular schedule, our delivery service is designed to meet your specific demands.

Additionally, we provide regular stock management reports, giving you full visibility into your current inventory levels. These reports keep you informed about stock movements, usage trends, and replenishment needs, allowing you to plan effectively and avoid stockouts. With this system in place, you can maintain complete control over your stock without the hassle of daily management.

By outsourcing stock management to us, you benefit from fixed packaging costs, reduced overheads, quicker turnaround times, and guaranteed product availability - all of which drive efficiency and strengthen your bottom line.

How does the call-off order system work?

You only get invoiced for what you draw down, helping you take advantage of economies of scale while keeping your own premises clear and operational.

What is consignment stock, and how can it help my business?

Consignment stock is an arrangement where we hold a set amount of your packaging products ready for you, while you only pay for what you actually use. We agree minimum and maximum stock levels based on your needs, and we monitor and replenish it over time. This guarantees product availability, reduces inventory risk, and helps you manage cash flow more effectively without over-ordering.

Will we receive regular updates on our stock levels?

Yes. As part of our service, we provide regular stock management reports to keep you fully informed. You’ll have clear visibility of what stock you have available, what’s being used, and when replenishments might be needed. This proactive reporting supports better planning, helps prevent shortages, and ensures you always have the right materials on hand to meet your production demands.

How does inventory management help protect against price increases and stock shortages?

By ordering larger quantities at today's prices and storing them with us, you can protect your business from future price increases in the packaging market. Our system also helps you avoid the risk of stock shortages, as we carefully monitor usage and ensure that essential packaging items are always available when you need them - keeping your operation resilient and competitive.
