The Storage Place – Benefits of Using Mintsoft Software for Order Fulfilment

The Storage Place have now completely moved their warehouse management software over to Mintsoft, a fully integrated warehouse management system.

Here’s a little background information on The Storage Place before we highlight how Mintsoft’s exceptional system has helped the business grow. Established in 1999, The Storage Place is an order fulfilment and warehousing company based in Gateshead in the North East of England. The warehouse covers an extensive 60,000 square-feet of land, making no job too big for the professional team. Order fulfilment services are the most demanded services from their clients; the team store, pick, pack and deliver products for their clients, many of which run ecommerce sites. They also offer other storage solutions for heavy industrial equipment, palletised goods storage and bonded warehousing.

Since moving over to Mintsoft, The Storage Place’s business operations have ran a lot more smoothly, in comparison to their old warehouse management system. Here are just a few reasons why.

It’s Cloud Based: the software is cloud based so there are no servers to maintain or any programmes to install. It can be accessed from a range of devices such as mobiles, tablets and desktops, 24/7, 365 days a year. It’s a fully supported, reliable and secure asset for any business that runs an order fulfilment service.

Multi-Channel Management: Mintsoft is integrated with all major marketplaces and shopping carts including Amazon, eBay and even your own ecommerce site. Once a customer order is received through the API integrated software, shipping labels are created, customer orders are tracked and the stock levels are updated automatically.

Stock Management: any changes in stock levels, the fully functional software will notify the business, whether it be products coming in or out. All item transactions come with a full audit trail which can be exported and managed in a PDF or Excel spreadsheet.

Carrier Integrated: the software is fully integrated with all major UK carriers including Parcel Force, Royal Mail, DHL and Interlink, meaning items can be sent nationally or globally. Once an order arrives, The Storage Place will pick the items and pack them to whatever shape or size their client requires; they will then send it out for delivery and both the customer and the client will be sent tracking details.

SSL Certified: all of the client and customer data is SSL certified meaning sensitive data such as passwords, credit card details and contact details are stored safely and cannot be read over the website.

Suitable for Both B2B and B2C Organisations: whether the client runs a business to business or business to customer company, The Storage Place can offer their services along with the cloud based software to save the client time, money and storage space.

The North East fulfilment centre have worked with a range of clients including IKEA, Rolls-Royce, Nissan, Autotrader and businesses across diverse industries. A current client to the Storage Place is CosyHomeStore, an online retailer of home hardware including insulation, chimney balloons and window and external door seals. Bernard McNamee, managing director of CosyHomeStore, contacted The Storage Place as he was very interested with order fulfilment services for his vast product collection. Apart from the Amazon sales, which are controlled by Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA), The Storage Place manage all of their order fulfilment.
