Past Case Studies

NDD Distribution markets and distributes a huge range of magazine titles to retailers across Australia on a weekly basis. With over 60000 magazines distributed weekly from their Villawood distribution centre, NDD required a comprehensive, streamlined solution. “We needed to house over 1500 titles with easy access for packing and distribution,” commented the NSW Distribution Manager. Along with this, one of NDD’s main requirements was a series of benches for efficient bundling and packing of magazines.

“With operations such as NDD’s, and a working space of 5500 square metres, it was important not to overcomplicate their solution,” said Graham Eastick, Managing Director. “We decided that selective Schaefer racking would properly store the magazines to allow for maximum visibility and efficient picking.” Another section of the distribution centre was then selected for a run of six benches constructed from racking materials. Longspan shelving was also installed nearby for display of smaller quantities of popular magazine titles.

This scope offered within the solution was one of the main contributing factors in NDD’s choice to use DSG’s solutions. Value and simplicity also played major roles in their decision: “It is great to know that we are using the world’s best racking products and that all of our materials handling equipment is from the one supplier.”
