Nisa is rolling out a new next day delivery service for its retailers following the success of trials.
The next day twilight deliveries were piloted over recent months on certain routes enabling Nisa partners to receive their orders on the evening of day two, having placed their order on day one.
The additional delivery slots are between 5pm and store closing time with retailers receiving a phone call on the day of delivery to advise on an estimated delivery time.
Partners who have been receiving twilight deliveries over the past few months have benefited from the early arrival of their stock ensuring their shelves are always stocked.
Jess Graves, Nisa’s operational improvement and implementation manager, said: “The twilight delivery service has been well received by those partners who have so far signed up to it. It allows them to react to sales, promotions and events and enables them to have everything in store ready to trade the next day.
“We have been trialling ambient next day evening deliveries over the past five months or so and the service has been working well for partners, so the next step is to roll it out across the country and then in the future we will look at the possibility of adding chill into the offer as well.”
