Supply Chain
Posted 2 days 6 hours ago by Primark Stores Limited
In Supply Chain at Primark, we're ultimately responsible for getting all of our products from their origin to their final destination in-store. Because of our growing size and scale, we're truly global, with lots of opportunities worldwide to ensure fantastic customer service and incredible availability of stock. We work tirelessly to deliver efficiently, saving both time and money.
It's all about great planning and great execution. We like to be as efficient as possible, reducing resource and energy waste wherever possible. From freight management and regulation compliance to logistics and transport - our supply chain is complex. And it's always changing and expanding as we introduce new products, which means lots of interesting challenges for our problem solving teams to resolve.
WHY IS SUPPLY CHAINAT PRIMARK SO EXCITING?
Because of our incredible size and scale
We're moving products from 18 sourcing countries to over 480 stores worldwide. This means accounting for cultural differences and finding the most efficient, cost effective way for our products to travel. It's the chance to have a global footprint in a business that's high energy and high impact.
We're also making huge investments in our technology - focusing on automation to become more responsive and efficient. Our stock management platforms let customers check product availability before they head in store. And when they arrive, they're queuing less thanks to our new point of sale systems and self checkouts.
