The key challenges

The key challenges

For manufacturers, your focus is on the product itself: its design and development, making it fit for purpose, efficient production, its quality, and its prospective ROI for your customers.

After all this comes operational logistics and fulfilment—but falling at the last hurdle can undermine all your hard work to that point.

And, when it comes to quick and secure packaging and delivery, challenges abound: there’s regulatory compliance and workforce management, including H&S, operative ergonomics for efficiency, safety and comfort, vehicle workflow optimisation, the constant pressure to increase efficiency and reduce costs, the consolidation of your supplier base, while ensuring supply continuity, and the need to meet your ESG goals.

You need a specialist operational logistics and fulfilment supplier that understands how to support you in dealing with any of this. Efficiently, effectively and speedily.

Warrantied products can be repaired quickly with our Return To Base (RTB) cover, should the need arise of course.

Our Mobile Repair Service means our skilled technicians work on your site, so you can get repaired equipment straight back to work when we’re done.

Or, if you prefer and you’d find it more convenient (for H&S or space reasons), we can arrange to ship the equipment to one of our conveniently located European clinics where we can service and repair them all at once and return to your site when done.

The Southgate ServAgree app makes it easier than ever to track, manage and monitor your equipment’s maintenance, review planned visits and book future service visits.
