FINE TUNED STOCK MAKES FOR FINE SERVICE
» » SENIOR STAFF AT BARNSLEY’S
Distinction Doors run a tight ship when it
comes to controlling their stockholding, and it
would appear that they are sailing in the right
direction.
In a recent review, the company is
running at 99.4% stock availability for
2019. Operations Manager David Hoyland
– with day-to-day experience of being in
the company’s two warehouses across 86,000
sq.ft – says: “We currently carry £9 million
worth of stock across doors, glass products
and consumables. Effective orchestration and
management of incoming stock and outgoing
deliveries is of key importance; everything
must be well coordinated to allow for ease of
access and to prevent shortages.”
Maintaining such a sizeable and varied
supply enables Distinction to fulfil orders
to fabricators at exceptional ‘on time in full’
levels, something David says the company’s
growing customers seek above all else. Delays
can cause irreparable damage to reputations
both locally, and down the chain, not to
mention a reduction in margins when
projects run over due to insufficient product
availability. In this industry, with competition
high, status is everything.
