BMF member and brick manufacturer, Forterra has recently launched a Load Selector calculator to allow customers to tailor their brick orders to the precise mix of products they require.
With the ability to choose the exact number of bricks they need, customers can benefit from increased stock flexibility and a potential reduction in invoice value. Other benefits include reducing the environmental impact of transport by streamlining deliveries to one truck, which also eases traffic on customers’ sites.
Jasper Smathers, Purchasing Manager at builders merchant Collier & Catchpole, said, “Forterra’s Load Selector has been a game changer for our business. Having the option to mix London Brick with other bricks and Thermalite and aggregate block on a single load – and at full load rates – is fantastic. It’s also enabled us to reduce our stock levels and have better control of our ordering.”
