Leedsafe continues to grow with support from Global

Safety is a serious business for Leedsafe. The family-owned company was started in 1991 and has steadily grown to become one of the largest wearable safety equipment suppliers in Christchurch. General Manager Brendan Rice says excellent service is what has helped push the business forward.

Background

“We strive to supply our customers with the products they need when they need it. That’s why we offer an ‘in full, on time, every time’ guarantee.”

Leedsafe’s relationship with Global started in 2009, as the company’s client base began to grow. “We knew it was time to update the way we did business. We asked lots of business friends for advice about who to talk to, and Global was the company that came through loud and clear.”

What we did

Global worked with Leedsafe on creating an online version of its previously manual ‘Smart Store’ – a consignment stock system for its customers. Product is still housed at the customer’s location, making it available to them 24/7, yet Global has helped streamline the consignment process.

Brendan says Global had no problem integrating Leedsafe’s new e-commerce site with its accounting system. Once an order is received via the website, an invoice is automatically generated and sent back to the customer. “It’s much more convenient for our customers and has saved us a lot of time too,” Brendan says.

Global also developed Leedsafe’s website back in 2009 and continues to keep it updated to help give the company an edge over its competition.

“We’ve really enjoyed working with Global. Their team are experts at finding the right solution – nothing is ever too difficult. They’ve helped us bring a lot of efficiencies to our business.”
