For operators with several yards

Multi-depot comparison

Side-by-side charts for two or three yards serving the same retailer, so a regional manager can see whether late windows sit in the town, the loading bay, or the sheet itself.

Who it is for

Regional managers responsible for more than one UK depot on the same high-street or grocery contract.

What you leave with

A comparison pack that keeps each yard’s geography honest: a coastal round is not scored against an inner-ring drop sequence.

Scope

Two or three depots, one shared contract, the same two-week window.

Who does the work
One lead reviewer plus a second reader so each yard is visited at least once.
How long
Four to six weeks, depending on travel between yards.
Where
Each named depot plus desk work in Glenmore.
What to prepare
Identical sheet fields across yards, or a mapping of how each depot names a missed window.
Limits
We will not force three unrelated contracts onto one chart.
Fees
From £8,400 for two depots; a third yard is quoted after we see the map.
Next step
Send the depot towns and the retailer contract name. We will say whether a comparison will hold.

Order of work

  1. Align weeks

    The same calendar fortnight across yards, even if one depot prefers a different planning cycle.

  2. Visit each yard

    A shorter yard day than a full review: gate, bay, and one ride-along.

  3. Compare

    Charts drawn on the same scales, with a written caveat where geography makes a comparison unfair.

Included

  • Matched delay-minute charts with a shared hour axis
  • A note on bay design and gate queues where they differ
  • A briefing with the regional manager, not a roadshow at every yard

Not included

  • League tables of drivers
  • A single ‘winner’ depot when the towns are not comparable
