THE CLIENT...
The Salvation Army Trading Co Ltd (SATCoL) specialises in used clothing collections throughout the UK.
It has introduced modern business management techniques and concepts to an old established business. Operating partnerships have been created with British business and local councils that continue to grow both numerically and
in an advisory capacity.
THE PROBLEM...
SATCoL has a regular system of door-to-door collections, which in many parts of the UK, has proved a popular addition to its clothing banks. Its operators visit the majority of houses in a local council area and this requires significant planning and control from both a time and geographic angle.
THE SOLUTION...
Geoplan Expert provides all the information they need on Postcode Sectors and geographic locations. This enables collection areas to be planned for the collectors, establishing which are the most efficient in terms of collection times and geographic location. This in turn maximises the number of collections that can be undertaken and the streamlining of the whole operation.
THE BENEFITS...
SATCoL is able to define timescales and using its own database and reporting system is able to review area contribution rates.
