The smooth flow of magazines from printer through to retailer relies on a powerful and 100 per cent reliable engine room.
Marketforce's Operations teams manage the flow of data to our wholesale partners,
ensuring issue information and individual wholesale order levels are communicated
in both an accurate and timely manner. Our Operations staff are also responsible
for the management and audit of wholesale returns claims, and can call upon our
own wholesale audit team to monitor the accuracy of wholesale claims and the effectiveness
of wholesale systems and processes.
The management of our carrier network and the smooth flow of magazines to wholesale
and overseas agents are the responsibility of our Logistics and Distribution team.
Through the use of electronic dispatch, information flows and web-based progress
tracking, our distribution accuracy levels are the envy of the industry. Most importantly
of all, we ensure our publisher clients do not miss out on all-important sales opportunities
through the timely and accurate delivery of products.
Marketforce is leading the industry with the development of Up Channel Sales Based
Replenishment (SBR). Copies are held back at the carriers and delivered in to retail
based on wholesale request via EPOS data. Consequently supplies are delivered to
a store as and when they are required; optimising sales and availability yet reducing
store stockholding and waste. A service well suited to the fast pace of the industry
and ensuring our magazines gain maximum sales potential.
