Stock control serving Wellingborough: 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. 35 minutes from DIRFT via A45, A509, A510 and M1 (J15).
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.

Wellingborough rides the A45 - the dualled Northamptonshire artery that runs from Northampton across to the A14 and the East Midlands freight belt beyond. The town (NN8 and NN9) also picks up the A509 north toward Kettering and the A510, with M1 Junction 15 sitting to the west for onward motorway access. It's a corridor town in the truest sense: much of its logistics character comes from simply being on the road that carries goods east out of Northampton.
Reckon on about 35 minutes to the DIRFT and Rugby core, placing Wellingborough on the eastern reach of the Golden Triangle where it starts to blend into the Northamptonshire warehousing cluster. Rushden and its Sanders Lodge estate sit just south down the A45, Kettering is up the A509, and Raunds - with the substantial Warth Park distribution centres - lies to the north-east. Locally, Park Farm Industrial Estate is the workhorse address, backed by Denington and the Finedon Road estates.
The town's economy mixes distribution, manufacturing and a notable food-and-drink presence, so the goods passing through NN8 range from ambient pallets to production inputs and finished consumer lines. That breadth suits a place positioned between Northampton's giant Brackmills operation to the west and the A14 trunk route to the east - close enough to the big distribution names to share their supply chains, far enough out to offer sensible space along the A45.
The value of accurate stock around Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.
The A45 is Wellingborough's backbone - a dualled route linking Northampton to the A14 and the East Midlands freight belt. Sitting directly on it means NN8 firms plug straight into that east-west flow without needing to detour to reach a major road.
M1 Junction 15 sits west of the town, reached along the A45 toward Northampton. That gives Wellingborough onward motorway access north and south, complementing the A509 and A510 that handle links up toward Kettering and the surrounding towns.
Park Farm Industrial Estate is the main local address, supported by the Denington and Finedon Road estates. For larger distribution footprints, Rushden's Sanders Lodge and Raunds' Warth Park sit within a short A45 drive to the south and north-east.
Yes - it sits on the eastern edge of the Golden Triangle where it merges into that cluster. Northampton's Brackmills lies west, Kettering north, and Raunds' Warth Park north-east, so NN8 shares supply chains with several major distribution sites.
Distribution, manufacturing and a strong food-and-drink base all feature, so goods range from ambient pallets to production inputs and finished consumer lines. That mix means storage needs in NN8 tend to be varied rather than single-sector.
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.
