You’ve got a brilliantproduct/offer...

WHEN YOU HAVE TO HIT THE LAUNCHYou know what it’s like.You’ve got to generate market awareness and give your product as much supportas possible. Both literally and metaphorically. Point of sale stands and literature have to be in-store atexactly the right time. Storage, picking and packing, time critical distribution, keeping track of stock,replenishment of orders.

It can get hectic.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Attention to detail and timing are the essential qualities of storage and distribution. For example, we wererecently commissioned to support the release of a major movie.

Thousands of branded rucksacks, containing a variety of goodies, were placed in retail networksthroughout the UK. We took in the stock, broke it down, matched it to the orders, and shipped it out.Timing was critical so that the promotional items would appear to coincide with the movie’s release.

THIS IS WHERE WESTEX CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERRENCE

SENDING THE RIGHT MESSAGEModern finance is a world of rapid changes. The customer has never had so much choice. Competition hasnever been so fierce. Providers of financial services have to be as up to date as possible with the latestinformation. There may be external changes, such as interest rate fluctuations, a new budget, or internal,such as a result of mergers or acquisitions.

Either way, the ability to get the latest literature into the hands of customers is absolutely critical.

KEEPING TRACK OF THE CHANGESWhen information is changing so rapidly, a highly disciplined operation is required. For example, when threemajor financial institutions merged recently, we were charged with handling the storage and distribution ofall the new literature.

Over 300 lines of coded items were distributed to 2,600 branches. Currently, Westex is responsible forcontrolling stock levels, distribution, replenishment of orders on 700 different lines of literature. Technicalhelp lines, order lines, multifax facilities, Internet/intranets are in place to keep track of it all.
