Shipping Success Stories

20 years ago me and my Dad first set the company up when it was just small parts for RS turbos and older cars, then we grew the business by evolving with the scene at the time. We used to spend a lot of time at car shows, which was good, but we had to do around 25 car shows a year just to get your name out of there, which was a lot of work. 

Websites were just coming out for smaller companies, we got someone to build our eCommerce site which helped boost sales and expand our market reach. When it came to managing stock and shipping products, we were manual for a long time, too long! That’s what got us into this organisational chaos.

That process made it quite difficult for picking and packing. We’d be printing the order from the website. We’d have to go and find it, box it, pack it, enter the address manually into the computer, to print the address label out, so if someone else is printing an order out, it meant you’d have to wait for someone else to finish. 

We’ve only got the one PC in our packing area - which made things difficult. Whereas now it’s automated. So we get the order in, that’ll tell us exactly where everything is, the guys can go and get it, pick it, pack it, press dispatch, the order comes out - happy days.

Using Shiptheory and Stok.ly is a massive time saving. It’s narrowed down our packing and dispatch process.

There has definitely been a cost saving, if it hasn’t been worked out in monetary value, it’s done in hours, because we’ve gained hours back to be able to work on the business. It has helped us grow massively and given us time to push other areas of the business, which we didn't have time to do before. 

The system just works seamlessly!
