"For just-in-time supply into the plants, you can't beat Coventry's position. The M6 and A45 put us minutes from everywhere that matters, and the Whitley area's engineering base is right on our doorstep."
Inventory management for Coventry businesses — located storage, perpetual cycle counting and 99.5%+ accuracy, 20 minutes from the DIRFT Golden-Triangle core via M6 (J2–J3).
Stock control serving Coventry: every unit located, counted continuously and reconciled, with live availability pushed to every channel so you cannot oversell. Full stocktakes quoted per count, reporting and integration from £150 per week. 20 minutes from DIRFT via M6 (J2–J3), M69, M40 / A46, A45 and A46.
Inventory accuracy is not a warehouse vanity metric. It is what decides whether you oversell, over-order, or discover a problem at year end.
A rolling programme that counts fast-moving lines often and everything periodically — instead of one disruptive annual stocktake that tells you about last year.
When a count disagrees with the system we find out why — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, theft — because the reason is worth more than the adjustment.
Min/max levels set with you and alerted against, plus SKU, batch and expiry reporting so slow movers and short-dated stock surface early.
Inventory management is included on managed fulfilment accounts and priced separately where we hold stock only. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling; long-term contract rates tier down with pallet volume.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Located storage with perpetual cycle counting.
A complete wall-to-wall count where you need one.
Live stock pushed to your systems and channels.
Indicative ranges based on standard requirements. Bespoke / hazardous / temperature-controlled goods are quoted separately. Get an exact quote for your volumes →
If the Golden Triangle has a centre of gravity, Coventry has a strong claim to it. Ringed by the M6 at Junctions 2 and 3, fed by the M69 down to Leicester and the A45 and A46 in every other direction, the city sits almost dead-centre in England's distribution heartland. From the CV1 to CV6 postcodes the Rugby and DIRFT core is barely twenty minutes away, and the entire Midlands motorway network fans out from the ring road with an ease few other cities can match.
Coventry's logistics instincts were forged in the motor trade. This was the cradle of the British car industry, and that heritage still hums through Whitley - long associated with Jaguar Land Rover - and the advanced-manufacturing campuses around the University of Warwick. Prologis Park Ryton, built on the old Peugeot plant, and Middlemarch Business Park have since turned the city into a serious warehousing address, with the Bayton Road estate adding established industrial space toward the Bedworth side.
What makes Coventry unusual is the sheer breadth of its reach. Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth are practically on the doorstep; Leamington Spa's games and engineering cluster and historic Warwick lie a short run down the A46. Whether an operator is moving automotive components, e-commerce parcels or advanced-manufacturing freight, the city's central position means fewer empty miles and a customer base that stretches across the whole triangle from a single, well-linked base.
For stock control, Coventry's position matters less than the discipline applied to it. Every unit here has a location and every pick is scanned, and a rolling cycle-count programme runs against the live operation — so the figure on your screen is the figure on the shelf rather than an estimate corrected once a year.

Local answers for Coventry, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
Because of its geography. The city sits almost exactly in the middle of the distribution heartland, ringed by the M6 (J2-J3), the M69 and the A45, with the DIRFT and Rugby core about twenty minutes away. Few locations offer such balanced reach across the Midlands.
It does. As the birthplace of the British car industry, the city retains deep supply-chain expertise, with Jaguar Land Rover roots at Whitley and advanced manufacturing around the University of Warwick. That legacy supports specialist component storage and just-in-time handling.
Prologis Park Ryton, built on the former Peugeot site, and Middlemarch Business Park lead for modern big-shed space, while the Whitley area and Bayton Road estate offer further industrial capacity with quick access to the M6 and A45.
Very quickly. The M6, M69, A45 and A46 all meet around the city, so Rugby, Nuneaton, Leicester, Warwick and Leamington are within a short drive, and the M40 opens the route south. Central position means fewer empty running miles.
Yes. Alongside its automotive and advanced-manufacturing base, Coventry has grown into a major e-commerce location thanks to its central reach and modern parks like Prologis Ryton. The same road links that suit component freight suit fast parcel despatch.
Fixed locations, barcode verification on every pick, and a perpetual cycle-count programme weighted so your fastest-moving SKUs are checked most often. We work to 99.5%+ on managed accounts.
No. Counting runs continuously against the live operation, so there is no stocktake weekend, no overtime and no backlog afterwards. Full wall-to-wall counts are available separately if an audit needs one.
It is investigated before anything is adjusted, and the cause is recorded — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, short delivery. You authorise the adjustment. The cause report is what stops it recurring.
Yes — batch, lot and expiry tracked where your products need it, with short-dated stock flagged while it can still be sold.
Located storage with cycle counting from £4.50 per pallet per week, reporting and integration from £150 per week, full stocktakes quoted per count. Monthly rolling, no setup fee.
