Nisa has retained record standards of delivery service, with more than 95% of deliveries made to stores on time and a rate of 98% availability, whilst reducing costs by £3.3m this financial year.
The symbol group has cut over £3m in spending since the start of the financial year compared with the previous year, by introducing more efficient measures including network realignment, new high cube vehicles and the implementation of regionalised bread supply through central distribution services. Not only will the changes benefit Nisa in terms of efficiency but, as a mutual company, the cost savings directly benefit members by improving the financial performance of the business.
Operations Director, Jonathan Stowe commented: “Nisa knows how important good delivery service is to independent retailers and is continuously developing its supply chain to ensure it is the best in the sector. We are constantly working to improve on our already impressive service levels, and have made significant progress in terms of efficiency in recent years. This cost saving is a direct benefit to members and reinforces Nisa’s market leading capability as a specialist delivered wholesaler.”
Nisa has warehouses located in Scunthorpe, Harlow, Stoke, and Livingston, and works alongside distribution partner DHL. Altogether the business operates almost a million square feet of warehousing moving over 118 million cases per annum.
