Summary

Halfords Autocentres contacted Bluestones One with a project they required a trusted partner to be able to deliver. Halfords acquired the Nationwide Autocentres in 2010 and found that the stores had no accurate stock holding information and tyres were unorganised and difficult to find. Bluestones arranged several teams to visit stores across the country to organise the tyres to planogram and load all excess stock on to trailers to be returned to a central hub.

Challenges

When the teams arrived on site there was very little in terms of control and organisation of the tyres. They found it easier to use all available space to organise the tyres in to the correct brand and sizes before starting to merchandise the tyres to the correct planogram in the racking. As the stores were still trading this brought extra challenges with loading bays open and busy, along with the weather elements as the project was completed during winter months.

Results

Bluestones One teams successfully cleansed over 40 stores over 7 weeks. Using the experience and commitment of our onsite teams and project managers we were able to overcome any issues and provide the perfect solution bringing a whole new look into the stores.

Receiving fantastic feedback from the customer for the delivery and results of such a large scale programme.
