Supply Chain Services

In today's highly competitive retail marketplace the pressure on lower prices and better quality product continues to grow.

Combined with this are important measures such as product availability, order lead times and customer serviceability. A retailer can have the best product at the cheapest prices, but without a reliable and constant supply of stock their sales will suffer.

Bowland Products have partnered with Seahunt Ltd. Seahunt are specialists in supply chain operations for the furniture industry.

Having worked for 9 years delivering to the UK's large retailers and working with some of Europe's biggest furniture manufacturers, they have gathered a wealth of expertise.

Furniture Logistics Specialists

Bowland Products and Seahunt provide a specialised furniture logistics service for manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers. We have many years of experience at moving product between Eastern Europe and the UK.

Our service includes direct trucking services from factory to distribution centre, containerised shipping in 40 foot and 45 foot containers and were required warehousing services.

UK Furniture Design Service

In order to ensure our ranges are suitable for the UK furniture market we have teamed up with a furniture designer with over 13 years experience of designing products.

Bowland Products relish the opportunity to develop brand new ranges exclusively for our customers. Working as a team with our customers we are able to follow a product right through from conception to delivery to the customer.

Spare Parts & Customer Helpline Service

When a customer receives a product and a component is broken or missing, not only is returning the entire item for a replacement their only option, but so is the frustration of waiting weeks for a new delivery date.

Click Spares offers a spare parts and customer helpline service. This service not only aims to get the replacement for the missing or broken part to the customer in 1 or 2 working days, but also acts as a valuable source of information for end customers who are struggling to understand the product.

Click Spares already work on behalf of a number of large manufacturers and some of the UK's largest retailers. For an all inclusive price per despatch, they store the spares, make despatches and handle all the calls if required.

Furniture samples assembly service

During the normal product development lifecycle, samples need to be made and delivered to the retailers and wholesalers for scrutiny.

Bowland products have several experienced and highly reliable partner companies who are able to build samples and deliver them to customers. If there are any problems with the samples, the experienced builders can usually remedy the issue or will quickly communicate the problem and ensure it gets resolved.

British & European Standards Testing

All furniture sold within the UK must be tested to both European and British Safety standards.

Bowland Products have partnered with one of the UK's top testing houses in order to be able to offer a fast and efficient service.

We can advise of which tests are necessary for a particular type of furniture and arrange for a particular range or piece of furniture to undergo testing. We can also advise on lead times and duration of testing.
