Technology & Innovation Home About Technology & Innovation Technology Our investment in IT systems plays a key role in our plans, giving visibility of information to ensure assets are utilised as fully as possible. The IT team at Fowler Welch ensures transparency of information in order to focus effort on the areas that will give best asset utilisation. In a sector where lead times are of utmost importance, particularly now when the retail landscape is experiencing a fundamental shift, being able to offer our customers end-to-end traceability and real time order status provides them with peace of mind that their orders will be delivered on-time and in full, every time. Giving our Customers Greater Control Levels of speed and simplicity that set us apart from our competition As the industry as a whole faces more pressure to meet increasing consumer demands, one of the main ways we’ve been able to help our customers run the most efficient supply chain is through information. Having a specialised in-house IT team that can handle all kinds of data and translate it into the format our customers need means we can offer our customers transparency, giving them greater control. This focus on building a strong and responsive customer-centric information technology platform is at the centre of everything we do as a business. Our consistent investment in this area enables us to deliver levels of speed and simplicity that set us apart from our competition. At the centre of this is our people. Our in-house team boasts a strong background in transport, warehouse and EDI technologies. Many of them have experience in operational roles, so they don’t just know the technology but have an understanding of our customers’ needs and our ‘real world’ processes. This allows Fowler Welch to focus on a deliverable partnership with customers, working quickly to implement answers for every need – whether that’s standard or customised EDI interfaces or reports tailored to their specific needs. In truth, our focus is quite simply to deliver any aspect of value-adding technology that supports our ultimate delivery of a robust business solution.
