Supply Chain

What are we about?

Managing the Supply Chain to Convey Major benefits

Through precise planning and co-ordination of materials delivery, we will ensure that the right products are available in the right place in the right quantities at the right time. This streamline managed approach generates valuable benefits including:

1. Maximises Contractor
2. Efficiency and Productivity

With over 50 years experience of working with major contractors, we know what makes an efficient and smooth running site. Through a ‘conveyor belt’ approach to materials supply we provide a clear, controlled in-flow of products. In addition, to aid this supply process we establish a single point of contact within your local SIG depot to minimise errors and use our own mechanical handling equipment to speed deliveries and avoid diverting site labour from the job in hand.

Avoids Site Congestion

With our extensive fleet of vehicles from small vans to large trucks we can ensure that the right format is deployed to sure the particular order and the ease of access, with the emphasis on avoiding congestion. Wherever possible we use vehicles fitted with mechanical handling equipment to reduce manual lifting, avoid health and safety issues and save time.

Overcomes Storage and Security Issues

With local depots across the UK, we are able to organise accurate order-picking and ‘Just in Time’ deliveries. This minimises on-site inventory and surplus stock, helping to reduce theft or vandalism and avoiding difficulties with limited storage space.

Reduces Occupants Disruption

Our supply chain management skills ensure that the project’s momentum is maintained and that displaced occupants can return to their locations quickly. For occupants in residence our ‘Just In time’ deliveries in fit for site vehicles reduces noise and traffic congestion, while the minimising of on site materials storage means fewer public health and safety risks.
