Preparing for the next 75 years
In addition to making sure its product
portfolio is up to date , Vapormatic is also in the process of implementing a new enterprise resource planning system , which will make operations significantly more efficient . “ The system will bring end-to-end improvements throughout the whole business , enabling us to provide a better service to our customers ,” Zoe says .
“ The business has also invested heavily over the last two years , working with a partner to provide overnight delivery to our customers ,” Zoe expands . “ We have also restructured our warehouses to improve logistics . In agriculture , jobs need to be done when they need to be done , so downtime can be incredibly frustrating .
... to make sure we can offer farmers the right products at the right prices
Improving our logistics and supply chain side
of the business means that our customers can get the parts when they need them .”
Part of this improvement emerged because of the global issues the supply chain has experienced in recent times . “ We ’ ve had to put more inventories in place , so in 2021 we opened a second warehouse ,” Zoe explains , “ this gives us much more of a buffer against disruptions . Whether they ’ re caused by Covid or the Suez Canal , we are now able to mitigate against them .”
These improvements are part of a swathe of bold plans for the future which include , “ updating the website to improve the experience for the end-user , as well as investing in a greater global footprint and logistics infrastructure to better support
