fabricate and fit . Plus , while the recycling of PVC-u is better than it has even been before , we still believe that aluminium is a much more sustainable option for the consumer and customer

Epwin Window Systems has announced the introduction of its new Warehouse Management System ( WMS ) which went live at the beginning of July . The WMS means every customer delivery will include an exacting delivery manifest for each stillage delivery . It will identify which products are on each stillage , which will make handling multi-stillage deliveries much easier . There will be a reverse pick list for each stillage , so the first product on the list will be on the top of the stillage and the last one on the bottom , making booking in quicker .

The WMS has also enabled live dashboards that give live visibility of all orders , production and delivery schedules for greater transparency and instant customer updates .

Epwin Window Systems is renowned for its commitment to continuous investment in its business and the WMS is the latest example of this . Further investments are already planned for later this year , including an automated vehicle delivery communication system that will enable ‘ live ’ tracking and a 30-minute pre-delivery text message to be sent direct to the customer for a streamlined process .
