e-commerce solution partnership

Real-time updates
NX Secure, national pallet distribution and warehousing, is to supplement growth with the implementation of Access Group’s warehouse management solution (WMS), Access Delta. The investment comes as the organisation looks to attract new clients with the appeal of automating warehouse processes.
Compelling business case

The warehouse forms part of the company’s new International Logistics Centre on the IDA Business Park in Grange Castle, Dublin.
Safe alternative to steel
When storing aggressive fluids, steel isn’t always suitable. Acids and alkalis, for example, have corrosive properties and will attack steel – this is where plastic products can be more useful. Plastic offers a high degree of resistance to oils, acids and alkalis as well as other water-polluting, non-flammable substances.
