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 Solihull — West Midlands Local Knowledge

Solihull occupies a well-heeled slice of the West Midlands across the B90-B93 postcodes, and its logistics story is inseparable from three landmark neighbours: Jaguar Land Rover's Lode Lane plant, the NEC and Birmingham Airport, all strung along the M42. That motorway, running J4-J6 through the borough, is the spine, joined by the M40, the A45 and the A34. The result is a place where advanced automotive manufacturing, aerospace and business services generate a steady, high-value flow of freight rather than sheer pallet volume alone.

The estates reflect that premium character. Blythe Valley Park is a polished business-park setting off the M42, Birmingham Business Park sits close to the airport and NEC, Cranmore serves established industrial tenants, and JLR's Lode Lane operation anchors a whole automotive supply ecosystem around it. Just-in-time delivery is the watchword here - components arriving to a schedule, not a warehouse - so storage and logistics around Solihull often serve as buffer and sequencing space for demanding manufacturing lines rather than long-term bulk holding.

Solihull lies roughly thirty minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, connected through the M42 and M40 toward the heart of the Golden Triangle. That positions it on the triangle's western, Birmingham-facing side, where motorway-box access to the M6, M5, M42 and M40 opens up. For businesses needing to serve JLR, feed the NEC's events calendar or move air-freight through Birmingham Airport, a storage footprint near Solihull combines proximity to those anchors with fast onward reach across the wider Midlands.

The value of accurate stock around Solihull is mostly invisible until it fails: a cancelled marketplace order, emergency freight on a line that ran out, or a write-off at year end nobody budgeted for. Perpetual counting prevents all three far more cheaply than discovering them does.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What makes Solihull a strong logistics location?

Its M42 access (J4-J6) plus the M40, A45 and A34, sitting beside JLR's Lode Lane plant, the NEC and Birmingham Airport. That combination suits automotive supply, event logistics and air-freight-linked storage across the B90-B93 area.

Is Solihull suited to just-in-time automotive supply?

Very much so. With JLR's Lode Lane plant on the doorstep, storage near Solihull frequently acts as buffer and sequencing space, feeding components to production lines on schedule via the M42 rather than holding long-term bulk.

Which Solihull estates work for business storage?

Blythe Valley Park offers premium space off the M42, Birmingham Business Park sits near the airport and NEC, and Cranmore serves established industrial tenants. The right choice depends on whether you prioritise prestige, airport access or straightforward industrial units.

How close is Solihull to Birmingham Airport and the NEC?

Both are right beside the M42 within the borough, minutes from the main estates. Storage near Solihull is ideal for event stock feeding the NEC or time-sensitive goods moving through Birmingham Airport's cargo operations.

How far is Solihull from the Rugby and DIRFT hub?

Around thirty minutes via the M42 and M40. That places Solihull on the western, Birmingham-facing edge of the Golden Triangle, with quick onward access into the M6/M5/M42/M40 motorway box.

How do you keep stock accurate for Solihull 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.
