Frequently Asked Questions

What types of warehousing solutions does Great Bear offer?
Great Bear provides extensive warehousing options, boasting over 7 million sq. ft. across 30+ sites throughout the UK. Our solutions range from ambient storage to specialized environments for bonded goods and healthcare products (MHRA certified). This extensive network allows us to tailor solutions to your specific needs, whether you require short-term overflow storage or a long-term dedicated facility. We work with international blue-chip clients and offer bespoke services for start-up brands.
Which eCommerce platforms and tools does Great Bear integrate with?
Great Bear integrates with a wide array of leading eCommerce platforms and supply chain management tools to ensure seamless data flow and real-time visibility. We have experience integrating with platforms like Shopify, Magento, and SAP, utilizing EDI and API connections. Our IT team can also develop custom integrations to suit your unique requirements, ensuring efficient order processing and inventory management.
What value-added services does Great Bear offer beyond basic fulfillment?
Beyond standard warehousing and distribution, Great Bear offers a comprehensive suite of value-added services to optimize your supply chain. These include kitting, labeling, product inspection, returns management, and export management services. Our MHRA certification allows us to handle healthcare products, and we provide specialized services for bonded goods. By offering these services under one roof, we streamline your operations and reduce the need for multiple vendors.
How does Great Bear address common 3PL problems like long prep turnaround times and poor communication?
We understand the frustrations caused by long prep times and poor communication. Great Bear addresses these challenges through efficient processes and dedicated account management. We aim for industry-leading turnaround times, and our clients benefit from a single point of contact who understands their business and proactively addresses any concerns. We also provide real-time inventory reports through our WMS.
How does Great Bear compare to Kuehne + Nagel in terms of customer service and flexibility?
While Kuehne + Nagel is a large global player, Great Bear differentiates itself through a focus on customer service excellence and flexibility. We aim to provide the capabilities of a large operator with the personalized attention of a smaller provider. This means tailoring solutions to your specific needs, offering bespoke services for start-up brands, and prioritizing long-term relationships over short-term gains. Our clients benefit from a dedicated team that is responsive and adaptable to changing requirements.
