For the last two years, our sales and distribution were handled for us by the Kingham team. During that time, we took the opportunity to remodel much of the ‘dispatch end’ of the farm set-up and GMP system. A superb ‘extension’ to our ERP software has been custom written for the business. This finally gives us really accurate stock information at a glance, allowing us to ensure that you have no unnecessary waits for stock to come through the system (although being natural products, most years, the occasional product is unavoidably out of stock but that is not the same as carelesly running out of labelled bottles). Running a small business that manufactures more than a thousand lines to international quality standards is quite complex and it has taken us almost 10 years to reach the stage where movement of all goods, from the moment herbs are harvested (or bottle tops are bought, or labels printed) through to the moment they leave our premises, are automatically tracked and stock volumes adjusted in real-time as they change. We have now added to this, the allocation of stock to customer orders on a real-time basis, so that the same goods can never be sold to two different customers – previously a cause of some confusion in our less sophisticated days!
