As the new decade dawned, UPN commenced full operations at its new purpose developed SmartHUB central sortation facility. Despite the obvious challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic site developments and expansion were completed on schedule to provide a new level of service support to the ninety plus UPN member network.
“Our new SmartHUB is a massive step forward for all of us at UPN”, said David Brown UPN Managing Director, “So far £3,000,000 has been invested in establishing a facility that meets the exact requirements of our central operation and gives extensive capacity for business growth for all of us over the next decade and beyond.”
On Fradley Park Lichfield in the heart of the Midlands UPN SmartHUB is just half a mile from the previous location and as a result has enabled a minimum of transition disruption for both UPN staff and member hauliers.
The new UPN SmartHUB operation fully supported by an all-encompassing cross network SmartHUB IT system now provides all members with significantly upgraded support. Contactless “SmartHUB” Technology a bespoke technology platform created internally to manage smooth operations both centrally and right across its UK network.
All inbound and outbound UPN trunks are monitored minute by minute, mile by mile, and scheduled in a timely way to ensure speedy central sortation and pallet transhipment. In the same way that an airport handles flights UPN give member trunks “slots” to smooth flow central sortation operations.
The powerful new system is focussed on driving optimum performance across all aspects of UPN’s operation. UPN are now totally contactless, particularly significant in the current Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite unprecedented challenges UPN successfully moved to our new home at UPN SmartHUB. This extensive purpose-built facility takes the UPN operation to the next level and has the capacity to handle our growth projections for the next ten years
