    Allpack Supplies Consumables to National Builders Merchant Group

    14 March 2025

    Company Profile:

    A well-known builders' merchant chose Allpack to supply all of their consumable packaging for their business units throughout the UK.

     

    The Challenge:

    The national builders merchant contract, worth £12m over 4 years, involved supplying around 2,000 delivery points daily, nationally. The business units order individually, circa 1,000 branches, with products including pallet hoods, plasterboard covers, stretch film, and strapping requirements. 

     

    Solution:


    On the company's decision to choose Allpack as their provider of consumable packaging, the builder's merchant procurement manager explained: "One of the key enablers for us was the ability to service our widespread local branch network of over 1,000 locations as efficiently and with the same economies of scale as our large distribution sites. Each of our branches acts as a mini distribution center in its own right, with varying needs and requirements.

     

     

    Implementation:


    Online Ordering Portal

    Allpack’s product range, tailored online ordering platform and reliable next-day delivery enabled us to roll out a widespread multi-site solution with confidence, and our entire business benefited from the group’s combined leverage in rates and service.

     

     

    Results:

At the distribution centre level, the consignment stock facility made good use of warehouse space while improving cash flow, as the branches only paid for what was used.


     

    Conclusion

    The Allpack price commitment and next-day service levels, with a 7pm order cut off time for next day delivery in our fleet area, helped to win over local branch managers who may have tried to source more locally on ad-hoc rates.
