Nisa retailers warned of ‘some interventions’ in supplies this week

Nisa retailers have been warned to expect disruption in deliveries this week, a recent report has claimed.

In a letter sent to retailers, the symbol group said the lines that would be mainly affected were those that were “ordered less frequently”, while it looked to protect frozen products on promotion and ice cubes, stated a media report on Tuesday (9).

“As you are aware in recent weeks, we have experienced challenges with freeze orders being over-pick capacity due to demand because of the extreme hot temperatures across the UK.  This resulted in us having to manage the freeze volumes through the network to the capabilities of the depot.

“Due to the increased volume of orders being received again this week, we need to make some interventions to be able to effectively pick and deliver this stock. We are looking to protect any promotional lines in full along with ice cubes.

Nisa added that it would continue to review freeze orders daily and expected operations to return to normal once the weather settled, stated the report.

Asian Trader has contacted Nisa for a comment.

The news comes a month after Filshill told its customers to expect delays in their normal delivery days after the heatwave doubled forecasted volumes.
