As established manufacturing industry couriers, Speedy Freight knows a thing or two about keeping supply chains and production lines moving, even when the pressure is on. In fact, we have integrated with many manufacturing systems nationwide and overseas to provide continuous and consistent courier solutions that are completely compatible with the manufacturing industry.
Here are some of the things we have learnt along the way to help you prepare for peak season events like Halloween, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day sales and the January sales.
1 - Work With A Peak Season Courier That Can Carry The Load
Moving things in bulk or transporting abnormal loads is common in your line of work, so it's important that you work with a peak season courier service that can handle the loads. Speedy Freight offers a number of specialist services - including abnormal load delivery and waste management.
Plus, you can access a range of specialist vehicles - including Moffats, Hiabs and temperature controlled vans and trucks - to transport items that require extra care and attention. Working with a peak season courier that can handle all types of deliveries means you won't have to keep switching courier providers and disrupting your supply chain.
2 - Partner With A Courier Service That's Readily Available
Offering collection within an hour - up to a Luton van - same day, next day and express delivery, more than 60 regional delivery hubs, a nationwide and international courier network and customer support staff operating 24/7, Speedy Freight is well equipped to manage your delivery requirements in peak season and all year round.
Few couriers will take on last-minute loads, especially during manufacturing peak season, but Speedy Freight sets a new standard in courier customer service. We are readily available all day, every day, all year round. We'll deliver whatever, whenever, and wherever to help you keep up with demand because we know every second counts in the competitive manufacturing market.
3 - Get More Drivers And Driver Cover
If you already have a team of in-house drivers, perhaps you don't have enough for manufacturing peak season. You might be down a driver due to illness or annual leave and wondering how to fill the gap. Speedy Freight provides driver cover when you need it most.
Whether you need dedicated couriers for a day, a week, a month or more, Speedy Freight can provide driver support at a moment's notice. Equally, if you have delivery jobs that require two-person teams, we've got that covered too. Our 2 man delivery services are ideal if you’re transporting consignments that need extra care and precautions.
Whether you need heavy, bulky, awkward, fragile, or oversized consignments moving, our extensive courier network means we can provide 2 man delivery crews for last-minute delivery jobs or ongoing, planned delivery schedules.
4 - Get Additional Warehouse Space
Because you're producing more for peak season, you need additional storage space. With more than 100,000 feet of warehouse storage space, we have capacity to keep your stock secure and help your business manage inventory and scale-up.
With a network of warehouse storage solutions across the UK, we remove the need for you to find your own warehouse space, helping to keep your costs down and dedicate resources to more strategic requirements during manufacturing industry peak season.
Benefit from warehousing distribution services that add value to your supply chain. We offer more than just storage, we provide pick and pack services – utilising innovative warehouse management systems – road haulage solutions, freight forwarding and more. Our warehousing services are uniquely designed to keep your consignments flowing through the supply chain.
You can store and distribute consignments in close proximity to customers, which helps to keep costs down and deliver fast.
5 - Manage 'What If' Situations
The last thing you need during peak season is manufacturing machinery breaking down, but it happens. When you need parts delivering fast, Speedy Freight is your courier service contingency plan. We can collect and deliver time-critical parts on the same day to get you back up and running, minimising downtime, and reducing financial loss because of a stalled production line.
Offering you complete transparency, when you book a Speedy Freight courier, you can track the progress of delivery for your urgent parts. You are never left in the dark, we keep you informed every step of the way.
6 - Work With A Peak Courier Service That Serves As An Extension Of Your Business
Speedy Freight is all about strong business relationships. It's how we have become one of the most trusted courier services across the manufacturing industry. Our aim is to serve as an extension of your business during peak season, to represent you well, add value to customers and enhance your reputation.
We're so much more than an ad hoc courier service - though we don't mind the ad hoc jobs. We provide a full service solution that can seamlessly integrate with your manufacturing systems and supply chains. This helps us to build familiarity and understanding of your delivery demands, enabling us to tailor our services around you during the busy peak season.
