Ipswich, Suffolk, 02 May 2006.Animal feeds wholesalers, H G Gladwell and Son of Ipswich were the lucky winners of April`s
champagne. Selected at random from subscribers to the newscast, Simon Gladwell, Managing Director was delighted with the news. "It`s quite timely, we are currently expanding our premises to include a 10000 ft
2 retail store so we`ll crack the bottle open at the topping-off ceremony. Construction should be complete by August bank holiday.
During the first four months of the project, 26,000 cubic metres of soil have been dug out a redistributed over eight acres of field, yielding two usable industrial acres of land, with a whole acre of concrete laid so far. The 10000 ft
2 retail store is being built close to the dual carriageway." The trade counter in the store will run a Compsoft-developed trade counter module, connecting to the main offices in a separate building where the primary system is used to manage the extensive wholesale operations of the business.
The new development allows Gladwells to centralise all warehouse operations, moving away from two off site stores, and increasing the number of picking locations. This will improve vehicle loading and unloading times and increase overall warehousing efficiency.
Implemented by Gladwells during 2004, Compsoft`s software solution is a complete and integrated solution supporting the entire wholesaler operation, from supplier management, customer sales order processing and tracking through to warehouse management and product despatch. It provides everything needed to effectively manage the wholesale business, helps maintain the edge over the competition and gives the best possible opportunity to drive sales, increase customer satisfaction and ultimately maximise profitability.
