A moving story:
A fortnight ago we moved our operations from Wellington to Auckland, taking up an opportunity offered by NZ Post to run Need A Part out of the Contract Logistics warehouse.

It has long been in Need A Parts plan to relocate to Auckland to be closer to our suppliers, retailer head offices and increase the speed of parcel delivery. You may remember that in May some of the executives from NZ Post came and visited us in our humble Wellington offices. This visit has opened up a number of opportunities for us and our move to operate from Contract Logistics is just the first one.
Our pallets arrived at Contract Logistics. Now to relocate the stock
All of our stock has to be scanned in to new locations
This place is massive

There are exciting times ahead people. Our parcels are going out faster, there is heaps of space for new product and we now able to start increasing our volumes. Thank you to New Zealand Post and the team of people that have helped us get here. This has been a milestone that we have worked hard to reach and you have made it so much simpler.
