Marks & Spencer
The relationship between Gist and Marks & Spencer has been going since 1969. Marks and Spencer has one of the quickest food supply chains in the country, with each DC being stockless.
Gist manages 100% of the chilled and ambient food storage and distribution in the UK. There are multiple warehouses across the UK where Gist staff order, pick and pack the foods which is then distributed to a variety of Marks & Spencer store formats throughout the UK including Simply Foods, high street and large out of town stores.
At the other end of the process Gist also performs supplier invoice reconciliation on a daily basis. Informing M&S of supplier inaccuracies and dealing with any supplier queries.
All of this has only been possible by the new technologies that have been adopted including RFID, satellite tracking and mechanisation.
