TNT Home UK designs logistics solution for Scan-Thors
TNT Home, the home delivery arm of TNT Logistics UK, has expanded its business with furniture marketing and design specialist, Scan-Thors (UK), the exclusive supplier to Debenhams retail stores.
From July, TNT Home will undertake the home delivery of Scan-Thors’ cabinet furniture, in addition to the upholstery that it has been delivering throughout the UK since January this year.
The goods are delivered into TNT Home’s distribution centres at Pensnett, West Midlands and Heywood, North Manchester, for onward delivery to customers’ homes.
Due to the 28-day lead-time from order placement in store to final delivery at customers’ homes, TNT Home’s call centre staff phone customers to arrange delivery once notification is received that the goods are due in the distribution centres.
“We anticipate making about 300 deliveries a week for Scan-Thors (UK) via the TNT Home network,” said Neil Crossthwaite, TNT Logistics managing director, adding that the shared-user fleet is ideal for a company such as Scan-Thors, providing an extremely efficient and cost-effective logistics solution.
