OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS / WARWICKSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY RUGBY
Large distribution sites near junction 1 of the M6 and around DIRFT are rarely short of software, but there are almost always gaps. Yard management, gatehouse logs, dock booking for hauliers, vehicle defect checks and equipment maintenance often end up on paper or in spreadsheets. These gaps cost real money in detention charges, idle labour and missed slots. Focused tools can plug them, working with the existing WMS and transport systems rather than asking a site to change everything at once.
OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS / RUGBY
Rugby's engineering workshops have a different set of operational problems. Jobs move through cutting, machining, welding and inspection, and the office wants to know where each one is and what it has cost so far. A shop-floor system with simple tablets or barcode scans can record progress and time against each job, link inspection results and flag bottlenecks. Over months, those records build an honest picture of which work is profitable.
IN PRACTICE / RUGBY
A distribution site near the M1 and M6 junction could let hauliers book delivery slots online, with gatehouse check-in, bay allocation and delay logging recorded automatically, reducing queues on the approach road and disputes over waiting time.
A fabrication workshop in Rugby might record each job's progress and hours by operation using barcode scans at workstations, giving the office live status and accurate costing without chasing paper travellers.
A haulage operator based in Rugby could replace paper walkaround checks with a phone app, routing defects to the workshop, tracking repairs and keeping the records needed for operator licence compliance.

Make direction tangible before delivery expands.
Build in visible, testable releases.

QUESTION / RUGBY
Well before peak. We usually recommend discovery and build in the quieter months, a pilot on one shift or one area, then gradual rollout. Nothing should go live in the weeks before your busiest period. We plan the timeline around your operational calendar rather than ours, and keep existing processes running until the new tool is proven.
