As winter draws to a close and the weather starts to warm up, there is a bustling operation underway behind the scenes to ensure shops are fully stocked with spring and summer essentials.

Preparing your garden and horticulture logistics ready for summer

Months before consumers head out to buy garden furniture, plant pots or BBQs, manufacturers and suppliers organise and carry out a wide range of deliveries to get these products to a store or warehouse ready for the peak season.

At Pall-Ex Group, we are no strangers to this seasonality and regularly support the summer rush with specialised pallet distribution services for outdoor and garden equipment suppliers.

How big is the gardening and horticulture industry?

The garden and outdoor industry is incredibly important to local and national economies and provides an audience for multinationals and SME garden businesses alike. These products cover everything from plants, flowers, and soil, to gardening tools, furniture, and decorations. Purchased in-store or online, this industry also demonstrates the need for bespoke delivery solutions to meet the needs of modern shoppers.

Add to this a peak in demand throughout May and it’s clear that a planned, varied approach is necessary to deal with the ebb and flow of this busy sector.

By working with palletised freight distributors like Pall-Ex Group, businesses can ensure their products, regardless of size or storage requirements, can be transported, stored, and delivered to a shop or front door efficiently and securely.

Technology to support your business

To make storing and distributing freight more straightforward than ever this peak season, our advanced technology gives businesses complete visibility throughout the entire delivery process, with precise GPS routing, two-hour ETA’s and an interactive WMS portal.

Delivering success during peak season

At Pall-Ex Group, we have a wealth of experience handling a wide range of products and materials. We offer a specialised, personal service with a dedicated team who are on hand to plan routes and deliveries, provide additional support and track your consignments throughout the entire delivery process.

To support seasonal changes in the garden and horticulture industry, we offer a variable level of logistics services. This means when businesses hit peak season, we have the capabilities to scale up deliveries and storage space to accommodate the increase in demand and reduce it when it gets quieter. This allows for companies to scale businesses in line with consumers’ needs and reduce costs by outsourcing it to the experts.

Allow Pall-Ex Group to help you manage the peak season with a bespoke logistics solution for businesses in the garden and horticulture industry. Our experienced hauliers and dedicated warehouse team are on hand to put a spring in your step and offer an unparalleled level of service come rain or shine.
