GAP goes online to ensure it’s on time every time

All products from all branches are tracked using a fully integrated online stock system. It looks at the individual requirements for each branch and produces a list of stock to be redistributed overnight so in the morning each branch has exactly what it needs. This means GAP customers get more next day deliveries – in the morning.

‘We carry big stocks and being able to move them at night maximises the number of morning deliveries we can offer our customers,’ explains Mick Skinner, Depot Coordinator. ‘Some larger commercial customers want 200 boards tomorrow – and sizes can change at the last minute. We still deliver. GAP appreciates when installers are standing around onsite twiddling thumbs waiting for a delivery they are losing money. And, whether it’s 200 or seven boards, we deliver in full, on time, every time and the online system makes sure we can by getting the stocks to the right depots.’
