Automotive 3PL Warehousing Built Around Accuracy, Traceability And Speed
With automotive warehousing, stock can range from screws, bolts, clips and lighting units through to engines, windshields and body panels. Demand can shift quickly, service levels can come under pressure, and when the wrong part is delayed, vehicles can be left off road and production schedules disrupted.
Walkerpack provides an automotive warehousing operation built to support those pressures. We receive stock accurately, store it securely, maintain clear inventory records and prepare parts for production, distribution or aftermarket fulfilment. With value-added services including kitting, rework, repacking and returns handling, we help automotive businesses reduce internal workload while improving control across the supply chain.

MG Case Study
Supporting Growth From 125 to 2,500 Picks Per Day.
MG needed tighter alignment between their dealer ordering portal, EDI flow and day-to-day warehouse delivery, with reporting that matched operational demand. We supported with a customised EDI set-up, improved reporting cadence, and process changes to remove wasted time in the warehouse. Throughput increased from 125 picks per day to 2,500 picks per day, and the reporting change helped remove up to 24 hours from dispatch timing to Northern Ireland.
