Problems we solve

Saving Time, Cost and Carbon Across the Supply Chain

The challenges our customers bring to us are real, urgent and costly. Supply chains that are fragile, inefficient or opaque create operational risk, erode margins and undermine competitiveness. Organisations struggle to reduce carbon without sacrificing performance. Healthcare systems lose millions to process inefficiency. Manufacturers face spiralling warranty costs and unplanned downtime. Retailers and e-commerce businesses lose revenue to poor logistics and warehousing execution. Rail and defence operators need assets kept moving with zero tolerance for failure. We exist to solve these problems. Through supply chain consulting and continuous improvement methodologies rooted in The Unipart Way, we identify and eliminate waste, reduce changeover times and embed lasting performance cultures — one customer has realised £1m in savings, another a 5:1 ROI in 18 months, an NHS Trust a 54% reduction in patient waiting times. Through supply chain planning, transportation and logistics, design and manufacture, wholesale and distribution, and circular economy services, we keep critical operations running efficiently and sustainably at scale. And through our advanced technology solutions — including our EI. Energy Control System and remote condition monitoring — we give customers real-time control over energy costs and asset health. Whatever the sector and whatever the challenge, our answer is always the same: efficient, resilient and sustainable supply chains that save time, cost and carbon.
