Conveyors for Logistics
Over the past few months and with so many people working from home or on furlough, with our normal trips to the shops on hold, there has been a dramatic increase in online shopping and many logistics and distribution companies across the UK are dealing with thousands of orders on a daily basis.
Online retail sales grew by a staggering 23.8% year-on-year in April 2020, a 10-year high with a 25% increase for retailers from March 2020, and this trend is set to continue even although lockdown restrictions have been lifted. The purchase of gardening equipment and plants has grown throughout the COVID period by 288%, with sales of electrical items increasing by 102% year on year for June and there has been incredible growth for the health and beauty industry with an 82% rise in online orders.
So as we look to the future, there will be an increase in the percentage of retail spending from online (30% in 2019) and logistics and distribution companies that need to process stock, orders and returns efficiently and safely may be thinking about how they do it’s cost-effectively.
That’s where we can help. With conveyors that are perfect for logistics, distribution, factory, and warehouse sites throughout the UK and with our conveyors available for hire or purchase, we can deliver and install a conveyor system that will help you to handle your current and future orders without any delay or inconvenience. We even have a way of helping you to sanitise your boxes, cartons, returns, and goods ready for storage of reselling which simply fits over the top of a gravity roller conveyor!
Conveyors are playing a key part in helping many industries to keep on moving during COVID-19, enabling them to prepare for future change and to deliver the levels of service their customers expect.
