World Freight Centre Limited also operates and manages open book dedicated contracts for our blue chip customers, which have been tailored to meet the specific contract warehousing needs of that customer. Once the clients’ requirements are established, we source premises by location, size and length of term. Then introduce Management and IT infrastructure. Adjustments to the IT system can be made to ensure that all our customers’ requirements within the reporting formats are achieved, without deflecting from our core systems; specific customer QA requirements are also adopted in conjunction with our existing system, to ensure every need of our customer is met in full.

Once the contract commences, we meet monthly to measure KPI reports, previous monthly costs to budget and any forward fluctuations in throughput.
