Leading software and supply chain specialist Thinventory builds on ByBox legacy

Software and supply chain management provider Thinventory, which has a major distribution centre in Coventry, is excited to build upon its heritage after recently rebranding from ByBox.

Operating under the new brand, Thinventory supports vital infrastructure, including hospitals, telecoms, utilities and data centres with field service technology and logistics.

With a centre at Central City Industrial Estate in Red Lane, Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce member Thinventory uses technology to help customers reduced their inventory levels and improve their engineer’s efficiency.

Operating in 31 countries, Thinventory delivers 30 million items per year, with 99.7 per cent of deliveries made on time.

Executive Chairman Stuart J. Miller said the change of branding in the autumn represented the latest step forward for the company, which launched in 1997.

Stuart said: “We are pleased with the response from customers and partners since we recently rebranded to Thinventory to reflect our evolution and continued commitment to providing innovative tech-driven solutions for a growing number of customers.

“We started out with a mission to simplify distribution and secure inventory closer to the point of use, helping customers meet tight service level agreements at lower costs. Our network of 45,000 lockers worldwide has been pivotal in achieving this.

“Our ambition is to ensure technology and innovation remain key in continuously providing the best solutions for customers not only from Coventry but across our business as we invest more in research and development than ever.

“Being in Coventry has long been a strategic choice for our business, with its central location and strong road links being important to our success.”

With its head office in Slough, Thinventory also has distribution centres across the UK including Solihull.

Since the autumn rebrand, Thinventory has expanded its services into Europe through a new partnership with nox, a German specialist in the night delivery of time-critical spare parts. The project involves the delivery of new intelligent lockers and logistics technology across Germany.

Meanwhile, more than 400 customers have signed up to use Thinventory Community, a self-service online portal developed in-house and recently launched as a one-stop shop for support needs.
