Marketing
All grain entering the store is tested using a modern laboratory available at any time the facility is open. This means that grain can be segregated based on quality and variety to maximize market value. Customers’ quality requirements can then be precisely matched on dispatch thus avoiding unnecessary deductions or rejections. Rejections are rare because the material is always sampled and tested before it leaves the store, In fact some customers are so confident in the store’s ability to deliver to what they request, that they allow crops to be delivered and tipped based on declaration alone. This vendor assured aspect means that lorries can be turned around quickly at their destination which generates savings for the store that can be passed back to members.
NetworkGrain UK think 'value chain' not merely 'supply chain'. We focus on consistently adding value, quality assurance, optimising margins, retaining customers and capturing new markets for our members. Stores work in partnership with the marketing agent, Openfield. The marketing agent finds customers that value the service and quality delivered by each and every NetworkGrain UK member.
