Over the last ten years we have used a multitude of warehouse management systems. In the food industry the majority of systems are used to dealing with the stock holding unit rather than the retail unit. 

At Move Fresh most of our customers buy the retail unit, which brings a multitude of differences to life.

To that end we launched our own warehouse management system (Warehouse Buddy) specifically designed for D2C FMCG businesses. 

Our KPIs are easily accessible both internally and to brands that we manage their fulfillment. No humans are involved in the connection between website and the order processing (unlike most 3PL providers).

This software is automatically included when you use our fulfillment services.

In a Scottish EDGE first, some of Scotland’s leading entrepreneurs have committed an additional £1 million of grants and loans to Scottish EDGE, the UK’s biggest funding competition for potential high growth businesses.

Entrepreneurs supporting the initiative include Sir Tom Hunter, Sir Brian Souter, Lord and Lady Haughey, Kevin Dorren from Move Fresh, James Watt from Brewdog, Chris van der Kuyl and Paddy Burns.

The additional funding will be awarded in the next four rounds of Scottish EDGE.

After 10 years in Newbridge we are in the process of moving to a new larger warehouse in Rennie Square, Livingston.

We have invested heavily based on our learnings of FMCG logistics over the last 10 years and this space gives us significant expansion room for the next 10 years.

Our investment horizon is very long-term and based on a strong belief that grocery retailing in the UK is changing significantly.
