Aspray24, the national 24-hour logistics firm, has gone live with warehouse management system Access Delta from Access Group. The 3PL storage and distribution company, which operates depots throughout the UK and delivers internationally, chose the solution to reduce costs and to help them be more proactive with customers.
Operating from the head office in Willenhall, West Midlands, Aspray24 has implemented Access Delta into a new purpose-built 60,000 sq ft warehouse with racking for 11,500 pallets and is managed by 10 people in the warehouse team. The WMS solution is integrated with Aspray’s traffic system, providing immediate confirmation of orders and label printing.
Geoff Chater, head of logistics for Aspray24 commented, "We needed a system to support operations in the new warehouse, gain full visibility of stock and improve productivity through the use of RF scanners. Speeding up the invoicing procedure and providing the business with access to a full suite of reports was also a priority. Access Delta has helped us to achieve this."
"We not only wanted to provide our customers with the latest facilities but also with state-of-the-art IT solutions to support their needs," continued Geoff. "We’ve seen big improvements straight away with Access Delta including much more productive picking and packing."
Geoff, who has a great deal of experience in implementing systems, chose Access after researching and talking to a number of providers. "We wanted to partner with a provider we felt we could develop a strong relationship with, in addition to someone that was very knowledgeable about the system and how it would work within our business. Access ticked all of these boxes."
