Alpha Fulfilment, based just north of Manchester in Rossendale, are a success story born out of the e-commerce boom.
While the company caters for a wide range of product-type storage, over the years it has developed specialist capabilities for servicing the wallpaper sector.
Steven Smith, managing director explains. “We cater for many different business sectors but wall covering traders tend to really like what we offer.” Alpha’s capabilities include, preparation of sample books, sending individual samples direct to the consumer, order picks as low as single rolls, de-branding and re-packaging.
Smith continues, “One of our most beneficial capabilities is the removal of wrapping from end-off season stock, re-labelling, and re-wrapping on our plastic covering plant. This gives new life and value to otherwise obsolescent stock and very often we see our clients enjoy the monetary benefit of this process.” Alpha’s business development team will be attending the Heimtextil Exhibition in Frankfurt in January 2020 and would be pleased to meet any interested parties there.
Alpha is experienced in dealing with overseas manufacturers. Its sister companies have offices in India and China.
Other products serviced by Alpha include, cosmetics, household decorative goods, pet food, tiles, furniture, chemical, confectionery and footwear. Clients vary from one-man operations to major retailers. The company regularly processes part spoilt and distressed loads.
The company prides itself on short turnaround times, very high accuracy pick rates, and last-minute flexibility to receive and despatch stock. If a client needs help at short notice Alpha can quickly step in and solve problems quickly. And their prices are amongst the lowest in the industry.
Other services include quality control, 100% checks, product finishing, repair and refinishing.
Situated in a 100,000sq foot Victorian mill with excellent access and 24/7 security, the company has over 2,000 pallet spaces and 5 loading bays. It’s well connected to the motorway network, particularly the M66, M56, M60, and M6.
Alpha offers advanced IT systems which gives the client total transparency over their stock. The company runs SAP and with a technically strong team of programmers can easily integrate with clients’ systems.
Another, benefit of using Alpha is they often act as a one stop shop for clients. They can quickly outsource labels, provide bar-code numbers, arrange transport, and can often achieve the lowest postage costs in the market. Their in-house expertise on customs regulation is a further advantage.
