Reed Boardall

Reed Boardall is a leading independent third party chilled and frozen consolidator. They operate the UK’s largest single site cold store with an 112,000 pallet storage facility, and a distribution fleet of 160 tractors and 240 trailers.
 
The Reed Boardall operation has grown from around 6000 to112,000 pallets in under fifteen years, with the Chess system being continually developed to meet additional business requirements. From an initial standard WMS, the solution now includes extensive EDI, real time movement control with truck mounted radio terminals and an integrated transport planning system.
 
More recently, voice activated picking and on board telematics for load tracking have been integrated with the Chess system. The entire solution is supported by fail-safe fault tolerant software and hardware systems, reflecting the criticality of the system to the business.
