Many organisations are still using paper, or at best spreadsheets, in laborious manual processes managing the final distribution and delivery of products to customers, said O’Kelly. This often results in inefficient practices, she says, slow deliveries, lost paperwork and long wait times for payment. Loss of proof of delivery (PoD) documentation is a constant problem, she reports, and even where a tight rein is kept on such things, the processes often do not scale when a business requires it.

Boasting over 20 years’ experience and know-how in the technology industry, HUB 360 have developed ingenious supply chain software that can save transportation / distribution companies considerable amounts of money through better control, less waste and increased efficiency.

Fronted by directors / partners Denise O’Kelly and John O’Neill, the expert team at HUB 360 are industry leaders in the development of custom online systems for the logistics industry and specifically the setup and management of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems. This expertise positions them perfectly to help improve resource efficiency within these organisations.

In one example, if a firm receives an order for Kilkenny, it may hold off momentarily on dispatching as it is likely that another order for that destination will come in, all the while determining the best route to take.

Grouping orders together will help optimise loads, cutting down on the number of journeys and the amount of fuel used.
