OCC designed a solution to support a nationwide supply chain management system for Deya which provides a specialised logistical and distribution service to households and businesses throughout the UK. Deya’s annual nationwide deliveries include approximately 20 million Phone Books and Yellow Pages, as well as more than 3 million IKEA catalogues.

"We replaced Deya’s previous database with a faster and much more robust system, providing more accurate search and report facilities, and easy-to-use screen menus." explained James Greig, OCC Consultant for the project.

The software provides flexibility to accommodate last minute alterations to customer requirements. Flexibility is of the essence to Deya – a company that prides itself on the personal level of its service given to customers and its ability to meet deadlines for providing an efficient, high quality service.

"We are delighted with the system" explains Paul Spain, Managing Director of Deya, "The new benefits exceeded our expectations and we can now book our distribution schedules, newspaper advertisements and sort our addresses in a fraction of the time. We can also produce the essential reports we need to manage our business efficiently. We will be linking the database to our new website and will be going back to OCC for their consultancy in this area too".
