A busy manufacturer of luxury yachts, our customer needed to keep a large amount of consumables on site and in stock to keep operations moving but were facing increasing challenges over storage space.

The Space Challenge

Valuable workshop space was being continually eroded by the need to store materials and tools essential to keep production moving. Deliveries were not always aligned to the demand, creating the risk of out of stock items creating bottlenecks and delays in manufacturing, especially challenging with demanding timescales and constant workloads. Yet there was not the space to increase storage at the expense of production space.

The Container Solution

We supplied secure, branded containers delivered to the customer’s site, fully stocked with the all the right consumables needed for their operation.

At the same time, this additional stock room was integrated with the DTC HUB for easy replenishment and rapid ordering, simplifying their stock management and also ensuring all products are available onsite when they are needed.

Bridging the supply gap

Having a dedicated, flexible storage space for consumables on site acts as an extension of our warehouse end ensures the operations team can always access the products they need, when they need them.

This has led to a reduction in downtime due to out of stocks and also simplified the management and ordering of products. In addition, the branded container is a clear visual signpost to the additional storeroom.

DTC Containers are an excellent way to increase storage space for consumables, ensuring essential items are always available whilst maximising workshop and production spaces. Contact us to find out more.
