UBM: How data processing improves stockturn and reduces storage space

Abstract

UBM is a well‐known builders merchants group with turnover of £112m and 130 branches, and the company's product range consists of 28,000 lines. An MSI/SLIM stock recording system has brought about a number of benefits, including an improvement in service levels, doubling of branch stockturns, and the cutting of branch stocks by a third.
