Fashion logistics specialists Prima Distribution Services are forging ahead in the high volume market thanks to the investments made in systems at their Crewe warehouse. The Company processes and distributes millions of garments every year to high street chain stores such as New Look and have recently signed up for ATMS’ StockTrack PLUS (STP) warehouse management system to control the flow of goods from the moment they arrive on site to the point of despatch via their fleet of vehicles.

Director, Ray Halford, commented “We had systems in place to track deliveries once they were on the vehicle but we lost visibility of them prior to that during the various stages of processing at our warehouse. With STP we will have a complete picture of everything traveling through our operation and the means to record our activities and report back accurately to our customers. Our administration office in Mitcham under the guidance of Director, Sally Halford will also have live access to the system to enable them to pro-actively liaise with clients.”

Prima offer a full pre-retail service which includes receiving boxed garments, steaming, bagging, price labeling and sending out hanging garments ready for forward delivery to individual store.  With core STP they will be able to track all stock movements and the addition of the charging module means the administration involved in accurately recording the value added services they provide is simplified. The system is due to go live in the summer and will provide real-time data using Motorola radio data terminals. The implementation of STP is seen as the first stage in the Company’s plans to expand the services offered to their clients and as an opportunity to maximize the use of their facilities.  

ATMS plc is UK based and owned, and is globally represented with offices in   Dubai, China, Singapore and Belgium.
