Warehouse Facilities
Marston has two modern high rise facilities giving 136,000 square feet of working area, including 3 million cubic feet of storage capacity. We deal with 400,000 orders per year. In 2005, over 11 million units were both booked in and processed through Marston. This figure includes the despatch of over 3.5 million periodicals. We have approximately 45,000 trade account holding customers, in well over 200 countries.
Warehouse Management System
Marston operates a sophisticated Oracle-based warehouse management system from retail industry leader TOREX. The system allows us to maximise efficiencies at all stages of the warehouse pick, pack and despatch process. Working in real time, the system uses hand-held radio frequency terminals to scan, track and handle items throughout the warehouse and this enhances speed and accuracy. With full interface to Vista, it gives the warehouse staff access to detailed title information, ensuring they have complete control and allowing maximum flexibility at any point.
