We all know one of the most challenging aspects of any kitchen/hospitality project is co-ordinating the supply of all the different elements from many different suppliers, collating all the items together to then be able to deliver in one go on a given day.

Equally frustrating is then having to utilise costly technical contractors on site whose main role is the installation of equipment to do the ‘humping and lumping’ when deliveries arrive rather than concentrating on what they are there to do.

Well fear no more as Doncaster based Specialist Project Logistics (SPL) have the answer in the form of their Project Consolidation, Deliver, Position and Unpack service. Save time and money on site by utilising the right solution leaving your technicians to concentrate on what they are there to do.

Having worked in hospitality supply for over 20 years the Directors of SPL were all too familiar with the challenges of Project managing any new installation.

One of the biggest headaches was co-ordinating multiple deliveries to site at the right time and then getting in position, especially when site may have challenging conditions such as multi levels, access time restrictions, security challenges, the list goes on.

Equally then having the labour on site at the right time to receive the delivery and get it into site and in the right position for the installation team to follow on.

This all combined with an ever-changing construction programme from the client demanding a level of flexibility from all involved.

So, SPL set about putting a solution in place that could be offered out to others in the same position.
SPL has been working with the Hospitality industry carrying out challenging deliveries on behalf of manufacturers and distributors for over a decade offering bespoke multi person deliveries for sites that wouldn’t suit a normal palletised delivery service. The team set about using the infrastructure already in place to solve the challenges faced by anyone carrying out a Project installation and came up with their Project Consolidation, Position and Unpack service.

SPL can offer whatever level of service the client requires but the overall offering comprises of: –
• Receipt and consolidation of all deliveries to the SPL warehouse
• Full labelling of all items for easy identification on site plus checking in of all items to ensure full delivery will be completed
• Co-ordination of delivery to site at requested date and time with appropriate vehicles and team members
• Delivery with unpack and position to area required for installation team
• Removal of all packaging, pallets and waste material associated with the delivery

SPL can do as much or as little as required by the client, but the focus is on flexibility and providing solutions for all organisations working in the hospitality equipment supply sector.

As members of CEDA and ENSE and with the experience of working in this sector not only do they supply this service they also have a complete understanding of the equipment they are working with and the challenges faced by their clients meaning SPL are able to provide the right bespoke solution for any project.
