"Being minutes from Silverstone on the A43 matters when a part has to be trackside the same day. Towcester keeps us central without the Northampton overheads, and turnaround has been faultless."
Stock control serving Towcester and Northamptonshire: every unit located, every pick scanned, variance investigated rather than absorbed, and reporting by SKU, batch and expiry.
Stock control serving Towcester: 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. 25 minutes from DIRFT via A5, A43 and M1 (J15A).
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 →
Follow the Roman surveyors and you end up in Towcester (NN12), a Northamptonshire market town threaded onto Watling Street - the A5 that still carries freight north and south exactly as it did two thousand years ago. The A43 peels off here toward Northampton and Brackley, and M1 Junction 15A sits a short run to the east. That mix of an arterial A-road, a fast dual-carriageway link and a nearby motorway junction is what makes the town punch above its modest population for anyone moving goods.
The Golden-Triangle core around DIRFT and Rugby is roughly 25 minutes away, close enough that Towcester works as an outlying satellite rather than a remote outpost. Northampton's vast Brackmills estate lies just up the A43, Daventry and its rail-freight terminals sit to the north-west, and Milton Keynes is an easy hop south down the A5. Towcester Business Park handles the day-to-day, while Silverstone Park - barely down the road - pulls a specialist crowd into the wider area.
That Silverstone connection shapes the local economy more than the town's size suggests. Motorsport engineering firms, precision fabricators and light manufacturers cluster within the drive-time, all of them shipping high-value, time-sensitive components rather than bulk pallets. Add the steady flow of distribution work feeding off the A5 and A43, and you have a town whose logistics profile leans toward careful, quick-turnaround handling - the kind of goods that can't sit waiting, moving through a corridor built for exactly that.
Inventory management is where most fulfilment problems actually start. We count continuously for Towcester businesses, investigate variance by cause rather than posting an adjustment, and report by SKU, batch and expiry so short-dated and slow-moving stock surfaces while you can still do something about it.

Local answers for Towcester, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
Towcester is roughly 25 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, running up the A5 or cutting across via Daventry. That keeps NN12 businesses inside comfortable reach of national trunk routes without paying town-centre rates for space.
M1 Junction 15A is the closest motorway access, a short drive east of Towcester. From there the A43 and A5 give you onward links toward Northampton, Brackley and Milton Keynes, so most trunk journeys start within a few minutes of the town.
It is. Silverstone Park sits just down the road, and the town falls squarely inside Motorsport Valley. Firms shipping precision components to Silverstone teams value NN12's quick A43 access and its position between the circuit and the M1.
Towcester Business Park serves local occupiers directly, and Silverstone Park nearby adds specialist engineering units. For larger footprints, Northampton's Brackmills estate is a short A43 run north, giving NN12 businesses options at different scales.
Yes - Milton Keynes is a straightforward drive south along the A5, and Northampton is minutes up the A43. That twin reach lets Towcester-based operations serve both distribution belts from one central Northamptonshire location.
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.
