"Market Harborough is perfectly placed for us. The A6 gets our stock up to Leicester and the A14 links down to Kettering, and WSUK handle the storage side so we can just concentrate on making the product."
Inventory accuracy for Market Harborough — no annual stocktake shutdown, live availability pushed to every channel, and slow movers surfaced before they become write-offs.
WSUK holds and counts stock for Market Harborough businesses to 99.5%+ accuracy — no annual stocktake shutdown, batch and expiry tracked, min/max reorder alerts and ageing reports. A6, A14, A427 and M1 (J20) on the doorstep; we also cover Lutterworth and Leicester.
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 →
Market Harborough plays a quieter but genuinely useful role in the Golden Triangle, sitting on the LE16 border where Leicestershire meets Northamptonshire. The A6 runs through it linking Leicester to the north with the Northamptonshire warehousing belt to the south, while the A14 lies close by as the great East-West freight route. With M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427, the town is around 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core - close enough to serve, far enough to offer breathing space away from the busiest sheds.
The town's industrial space is more human-scaled than the mega-parks nearer the motorways. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road handle established light-industrial and trade occupiers, while the Airfield Business Park out towards the former airfield offers newer units. This spread suits businesses that want dependable Midlands connectivity without committing to a vast distribution shed - a practical middle ground between town-centre trade and full-blown warehousing.
Light manufacturing, distribution and food and drink shape Market Harborough's economy, and its position between two logistics regions is its real advantage. Lutterworth and Magna Park sit west towards the M1, Leicester lies north on the A6, and Kettering and Corby - the East Midlands' big warehousing cluster - are a short run south down towards the A14. Goods moving through Market Harborough can therefore bridge the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire supply chains along roads that stay clear of the motorway crush.
The value of accurate stock around Market Harborough is mostly invisible until it fails: a cancelled marketplace order, emergency freight on a line that ran out, or a write-off at year end nobody budgeted for. Perpetual counting prevents all three far more cheaply than discovering them does.

Local answers for Market Harborough, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
On the LE16 Leicestershire-Northamptonshire border, roughly 25 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. The A6 and A14 give it a foot in two logistics regions, with M1 Junction 20 reachable via the A427.
More human-scaled than the motorway mega-parks. The Riverside Industrial Estate and Rockingham Road host established light-industrial occupiers, while Airfield Business Park provides newer units - ideal for firms wanting Midlands reach without a giant shed.
That is exactly its strength. Leicester sits north on the A6, while Kettering and Corby's warehousing cluster lie south towards the A14, so goods routed through Market Harborough bridge both supply chains on quieter roads.
Via the A427 across to Junction 20, which also puts Lutterworth and Magna Park within easy reach to the west. It is a short, generally clear run that avoids the heaviest motorway sections around the hub.
Yes - food and drink is one of the town's core sectors, and its A6/A14 position lets producers reach both the Leicester conurbation and the Northamptonshire distribution belt without long motorway hauls.
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.
