What We Offer

A Number You Can Actually Trade On

Inventory accuracy is not a warehouse vanity metric. It is what decides whether you oversell, over-order, or discover a problem at year end.

Perpetual Cycle Counting

A rolling programme that counts fast-moving lines often and everything periodically — instead of one disruptive annual stocktake that tells you about last year.

  • High-velocity SKUs counted more often
  • No shutdown for stocktake
  • Count history retained per SKU

Variance Investigated, Not Absorbed

When a count disagrees with the system we find out why — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, theft — because the reason is worth more than the adjustment.

  • Root cause recorded per variance
  • Adjustments authorised, not automatic
  • Trend reporting by cause

Replenishment & Reporting

Min/max levels set with you and alerted against, plus SKU, batch and expiry reporting so slow movers and short-dated stock surface early.

  • Min/max reorder alerts
  • Batch & expiry tracking
  • Ageing and slow-mover reports

Local Coverage

Inventory Management in Lutterworth — Leicestershire Local Knowledge

Few towns sit closer to the beating heart of UK distribution than Lutterworth. Magna Park - the country's largest dedicated distribution park - lies right beside it, and the whole town hangs off M1 Junction 20 in the LE17 postcode, barely 15 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core. Add the A426 running north to Leicester, the A5 tracing Watling Street, and M6 Junction 1 within easy reach, and you have one of the most connected logistics addresses anywhere in the Golden Triangle.

Magna Park is the defining feature. Home to some of the biggest sheds in Britain and a roll-call of national retailers' distribution centres, it has made Lutterworth a byword for large-scale warehousing and 3PL operations. Beyond the flagship park, the Mere Lane estate offers more accessible industrial space, so businesses that don't need a Magna Park mega-shed can still base themselves minutes from Junction 20 and the same motorway network.

The town's whole economy is built around national distribution, third-party logistics and warehousing - this is a place that exists to move pallets efficiently. Rugby and Crick are a short skip down towards DIRFT, Hinckley sits west, Leicester lies north up the A426, and Market Harborough is a cross-country run east. Because Lutterworth is so tightly wound into the M1 at Junction 20, goods staged here can reach the entire triangle core before many operators elsewhere have even cleared their yard.

Inventory management is where most fulfilment problems actually start. We count continuously for Lutterworth businesses, investigate variance by cause rather than posting an adjustment, and report by SKU, batch and expiry so short-dated and slow-moving stock surfaces while you can still do something about it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Local answers for Lutterworth, plus the questions every inventory management client asks.

What makes Lutterworth so central to UK distribution?

It sits right on M1 Junction 20 beside Magna Park, the UK's largest dedicated distribution park, and is only about 15 minutes from the DIRFT/Rugby core. Few LE17 addresses are better wired into the national motorway network.

Do I have to be on Magna Park to store in Lutterworth?

Not at all. Magna Park suits large-scale 3PL and national DCs, but the Mere Lane estate offers more modest industrial units minutes from Junction 20 - so we can match smaller operations to the same excellent connectivity.

How fast can goods move from Lutterworth into the triangle core?

Very fast. With Junction 20 on the doorstep and Rugby, Crick and DIRFT just down the M1 and A5, stock staged in Lutterworth can reach the heart of the Golden Triangle in well under 15 minutes.

Which roads connect Lutterworth to the wider region?

The M1 at Junction 20 is the main artery, with the A426 running north to Leicester, the A5 along Watling Street, and M6 Junction 1 within easy reach for westbound and Birmingham-bound loads.

Is Lutterworth suitable for large-scale 3PL work?

It is arguably the ideal spot for it. Magna Park was purpose-built for exactly this kind of high-volume, multi-client warehousing, and its position at Junction 20 lets 3PL operators serve the whole Midlands from a single base.

How do you keep stock accurate for Lutterworth businesses?

Fixed locations, barcode verification on every pick, and a perpetual cycle-count programme weighted so your fastest-moving SKUs are checked most often. We work to 99.5%+ on managed accounts.

Do we have to shut down for a stocktake?

No. Counting runs continuously against the live operation, so there is no stocktake weekend, no overtime and no backlog afterwards. Full wall-to-wall counts are available separately if an audit needs one.

What happens when a count does not match?

It is investigated before anything is adjusted, and the cause is recorded — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, short delivery. You authorise the adjustment. The cause report is what stops it recurring.

Can you track batches and expiry dates?

Yes — batch, lot and expiry tracked where your products need it, with short-dated stock flagged while it can still be sold.

What does it cost?

Located storage with cycle counting from £4.50 per pallet per week, reporting and integration from £150 per week, full stocktakes quoted per count. Monthly rolling, no setup fee.
