    How to populate a UK based Haulage Exchange?

    I looked at operating a similar offering and had loads of 'grand plans', software partly built, but other parts of our 3PL business took precedent at the time. The free option is the way forward. But I'm happy to share our mistakes and ideas if it helps :)

    Does your Business Credit Check New Customer?

    We check all clients when they open an account with us and monitor their scores for movement to manage the risk. It has proven an invaluable process multiple times over the years and even this week it has helped with the payment of a set of overdue invoices from one client. It's the...

    Virtual office space provider

    We run a site with a Virtual Office Service in Gloucester You get what you pay for and if £29.00 gives you what you want for the year then take it. It is very cheap! They will be charging for every touchpoint on your account, receiving post and storage of all materials. I assume they offer...

    Warehousing and Fulfilment in the EU

    This is an old feed. But We have just had to source a partner in the Netherlands for a client wanting stock in our warehouses as well as a bulk of products in Europe. Following a lot of calls and research, we have started working with Top Logistics on the German border. Offering next-day...

    Need a cheap VoIP provider for making foreign phone calls

    We use Sipgate for our call traffic. Seems to do the trick when compared to others.

    Does anyone have Onbuy experience?

    I have a couple of clients that use us to process Onbuy orders. But judging by the amount of exposure I see from the marketplace, the order numbers are low. Does anyone have any idea how they are doing, any success stories and can point me at some recent stats?

    A stupid question about Ltd companies

    We have lots of individuals and established businesses that register no matter their business status. As long as the invoice is settled your postbox and ability to use the virtual office address will still be valid.

    Are Evri really that bad?

    I have accounts with all the major couriers except Evri only down to previous reputational damage for our fulfilment clients. We do, however, have a collection by Evri utilising our client's accounts and they 'for the most part' have no worst to say about the service than Royal Mail, Parcelforce...

    Experiences with Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed Heavier. Concerned about a package.

    The parcel will only register for tracking at the next scan point in the sorting office. The new parcel scanners will weigh and measure the parcel to sort for its next transit leg helping steer it towards Norway. Hopefully, by the time you read this, it will have moved on to the next stage in...

    Room booking plugin suggestions please

    Hello all, I'm currently running Pinpoint Booking System on our Business Centre website for all internal tenants and external clients to book meeting rooms by the 30 min slot. But it's glitchy and I'm constantly getting UI complaints. I do need to take external payments and give the internal...

    Thoughts on fulfilment options for a new biz?

    You need to be looking at a minimum of 100+ orders a week to make the additional overheads work with selling shoes, especially with the returns management factored in. Look for 3PL services that operate volumetrically with their storage, this will help you scale and you're not paying for space...

    Client Exit - Warehouse Space Ideas please

    Thanks all. I am investigating the self-storage model. This seems to be the best ROI for the site. The recreation model is dubious in current economic times and unless we see some radical changes in the world I do not see the cost of living being any easier any time soon.

    Does Google know that Bard has written the content?

    Has anyone seen any evidence that Google knows that Bard has written the content on pages? I have read numerous times that algorithms are able to detect A.I have written the content but we're managing to rewrite and add good portions of text with seemingly good results. But is it short-lived...

    Ai Chat Tools. What happens when everyone is using them?

    Surely all content writers are using the tools to aid their writing of content. Will Google's algorithms have some sort of meltdown or find patterns in the text? Asking for a friend... :)
