Case Study: Warrens Warehousing & Distribution achieves 10% annual growth and industry-leading traceability with Access Group

Warrens Warehousing & Distribution - Customer Case Study

Warrens Warehousing & Distribution is a UK specialist in the storage, despatch and delivery of bakery products for major retailers including Tesco and Sainsbury’s, handling 96% of Tesco’s cakes and bakery products. Facing rapid growth, tight shelf‑life constraints and a move away from fax, email and paper stock books to meet Tesco’s electronic data requirements, Warrens chose Access Delta from Access Group in 2008 to replace manual processes and support scaled operations.

Access Group implemented Access Delta with bespoke modules (Warrens Order Manager), RF barcoding, SSCC pallet labelling, EDI and an Advance Notification system tailored to mixed‑product pallets. The solution gave full traceability, streamlined dispute resolution and recall capability, enabled the unique Advance Notification service into Tesco and Sainsbury’s, and supported around 10% annual growth over four years — delivering a paid‑back investment and positioning Warrens as a trail‑blazer in its market.
