About
Established in 1988, Central Supplies prides itself on the highest level of BRC accredited services and a broad range of quality products to suit all requirements. Their many long-standing employees have vast experience and understanding of customers needs; it is down to their commitment and loyalty that they are able to build effective working relationships.
Distribution is made from their purpose built 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse situated within close proximity to Birmingham by their own fleet of chilled vehicles.
Central Supplies is part of the Kitwave Group. Founded in 1987, Kitwave is an independent, delivered wholesale business with approximately 1,100 employees and a network of 26 depots able to support delivery throughout the UK, specialising in selling impulse products (such as confectionery, soft drinks, snacks, ice cream), frozen and chilled foods, alcohol, groceries and tobacco to approximately 38,000, mainly independent, customers. Currently, the Group sells a broad portfolio of approximately 33,000 products.
The diverse customer base includes independent convenience retailers, leisure outlets, vending machine operators, foodservice providers, and other wholesalers, as well as leading national retailers.
The group has revenue in excess of £600 million.
A Forward-thinking Agency for a Fast-growing Business
Kitwave Wholesale Group chose iWeb as their Magento ecommerce agency because of our strategic and forward-thinking approach as well as our vast experience with Adobe Commerce (Powered by Magento) custom development. Because iWeb has designed, developed, and currently supports more successful Adobe Commerce Magento websites than any other agency and UK Magento partner, Kitwave Wholesale Group was confident we could deliver the complex customisations and integrations required for their project.
The Customer Experience (Cx)
iWeb created and designed a Magento customer experience that truly reflects the personality of Kitwave Wholesale Group. Like many iWeb Magento clients, Kitwave Wholesale Group‘s digital vision and distinct aesthetic are inherent to their business. It was crucial that the team at iWeb understood the vision and delivered on a truly on-brand customer experience.
“We chose Adobe Commerce and Akeneo PIM because of its speed, scalability, comprehensive API, workflow tools, and the fact that it would allow our users to collaborate more effectively. We can now scale our digital footprint rapidly and manage product information more efficiently. We are committed to providing the best product experience possible.”
Alan McCartney, IT Director, Kitwave Wholesale Group
