Delivery management specialist Consignor has added OCS Worldwide to its platform, allowing customers to extend their global reach to countries throughout the world. The product also allows retailers, through a simple IT setup, to quickly move their operations from brick and mortar stores to ecommerce solutions and meet increasing customer demand.

OCS delivers to business and residential addresses in every country but with a particular specialism on premium deliveries to the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Using the OCS Premium service means shipments to any addresses in these countries can be reached in just a few working days.

Gary Carlile, CSO at Consignor said: “We are seeing a huge shift from retail stores to e-commerce solutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“With OCS onboard, this allows our customers to move into new international markets and provides them with greater flexibility at this challenging time.”

Phil Rees, Commercial Director at OCS, said: “We want to give our customers access to the best-in-class delivery solutions available.

“That’s why we’re delighted to be working with Consignor. Together we can help retailers improve their cross border shipping capabilities and provide the most efficient ways to ship their parcels worldwide.”

Drive specialist Nord Drivesystems is promising delivery availability is fully guaranteed for all products. The German company also says that investments in locations and logistics continue as planned.

In the present course of the corona pandemic, Nord Drivesystems was able to keep up its delivery availability. Production, logistics and service will continue to operate as usual. Even in these challenging corona times, users can depend 100% on Nord as a reliable and competent partner for drive technology.

High level of delivery reliability
This is possible due to an international network of local production and assembly facilities with highest quality standards and a great depth of production. The production of housings, gear components, drive electronics and motor windings as well as the development, assembly and quality assurance take place in our own production facilities. This way, Nord can respond quickly and flexibly. The drive specialist produces motors, for example, in Italy, Poland and also in China. Added to this are the flexible capacities at the headquarters in Bargteheide, Northern Germany.

Stable production and supply chains
To keep up and to further guarantee the best delivery availability, Nord has taken extensive measures for protecting production and supply chains. This also includes respective precautions to protect the employees. These include the contact-free change of shifts (no encounters between the individual shifts), extensive hygiene measures (including dispensers for disinfectants, more frequent cleaning of door handles, etc., compulsory wearing of masks, keeping the safety distances) as well as a safe workplace design (including transparent partitions between the workplaces in the assembly area, personal tools).

A strong partner in the sector
The investments are also pursued as planned. Currently, Nord expands its production and assembly capacities in China, Poland and the USA. Furthermore, a new automated small parts store is being built at the Bargteheide headquarters.
