The hub, based in Solihull, Birmingham, is the first one that belongs to a palletised distribution network to operate with total 'depedestrianisation' and a drive-through, side-load operation.
A Elm investment in IT has led to the implementation of a data card system to track the locations of vehicles and pallets, and has also financed advanced vehicle scanning lanes.
Managing director Kevin Buchanan tells CM that the move went "surprisingly well", "But there are some things you can only learn as you go along." he adds.
