Moving the Furniture
Restructuring its distribution network is not something that any company can undertake lightly. But furniture and kitchen retailer MFI Homeworks felt it was necessary to order to meet the future needs of the business.
In the past three years the firm has moved from keeping stock in its 185 stores to a sys-tem whereby the vast majority of the product is delivered direct to the customer’s home through a centralised home delivery network.
This is intended to create a more efficient supply chain and improve service standards no matter what means are used to sell – traditional stores or the small but growing e-commerce part of its business.
