COVER STORY
By holding companies’ stock in its
distribution centres and delivering it
directly to end users, VOW frees its
customers up from this operational
aspect, enabling them to focus their
efforts on areas such as business
development, customer contact, sales
and marketing.
VOW’s Fulfilment service is part of a
vast infrastructure that stocks over 24,000
SKUs and makes more than 9,000 daily
deliveries on a next day delivery basis.
Whether a reseller wants something
delivered next day either in bulk or in
singles, VOW can remove this from their
workload and enable them to concentrate
on other tasks.
The service is run by National Accounts
Sales Manager Paul Kirk and Business
Development Manager Peter Fielding.
Peter Fielding: “We are building
relationships with customers across the
business product spectrum, from sole
traders through to large organisations
and major manufacturers. We work with
organisations to show how outsourcing
their fulfilment can deliver serious cost
savings and accelerate business growth.
“From smaller companies who find the
logistics side of their business challenging,
to those who prefer to hand over the day
to day delivery aspect of their business
to someone else, we can help. By freeing
up these customers to focus on their own
development, rather than on stocking and
Business product resellers, manufacturers and
MPS providers seeking to lower costs and
improve operational efficiencies are turning to
VOW’s Fulfilment service.
– Reducing costs and
increasing efficiencies
delivery issues, we enable them to work
‘on’ their business, rather than ‘in’ it.
“We achieve this by working in
consultation and running a strategic review
with the customer to look at their supply
chain and decide jointly where costs can
be reduced. From lowering warehouse
overheads and freeing up storage space
to giving customers the benefits of our
economies of scale, VOW offers a bespoke
solution.
VOW is also able to support Original
Equipment Manufacturers, helping them
achieve cost savings. Traditionally many
manufacturers keep stock in Europe and
have to fulfil small orders directly to the
UK from their European warehouses, which
can be a costly process. By utilising the
Fulfilment service they are able to keep
stock at VOW’s warehouses, for it to then
be delivered more cost effectively, next day,
to their end users, in whatever quantity is
required, small or large.
VOW can support these businesses with
its advantages of strong buying power and
the contacts to facilitate their needs, thanks
to its direct relationships with global brands
such as Brother, Canon, Epson, Imation,
Kyocera, OKI, Samsung, Sony and Xerox
among others.
