Unipart provides solutions to make healthcare more sustainable – whether this be directly, for example through ensuring excess stock is managed in a circular way, or through the transportation of products in its supply chain in electric vehicles.

At the start of the pandemic, volumes at Unipart’s NHS Supply Chain site in Bridgwater significantly increased. Using Unipart’s digital toolbox, the site was agile in managing resourcing and stock allocation. Unipart also used the technology to consider one-way routes across sites, minimising the risk of spreading the virus, whilst limiting the impact on productivity.
