Blind Faith

Posted by Adrian Bridgwater

Cream of the press release pile today is the fact that leading made-to-measure blinds specialist Hillarys Blinds is using an innovative web-based shipping system to help speed deliveries.

Hillarys has a turnover in excess of £90 million and each week the company processes over 6000 orders and makes nearly 30,000 blinds. With this level of throughput, a reliable system to handle accurate booking and shipping details is essential.

See? Even blinds need technology. That’s “innovative” technology mind you.

Ah, bless.
