FastAnt offers a fast and efficient way of managing your marketing materials

Wouldn’t it be great to have a partner who can provide a single point for ordering, storing and distributing all of your marketing materials from print, point of sale, clothing and promotional gifts and at the same time give you detailed statistical analysis of what you’re storing, its value and where it goes, all at the click of a mouse?

At FastAnt we’ve been working for many years with franchisors to help distribute their marketing materials to their franchisees. The benefits of FastAnt is we have taken away the day-to-day administration from the franchisor, but ultimately given them access to reports that give them full control of their business. This means that the franchisor can spend more time developing their franchise. All FastAnt’s systems are built with the specific franchise in mind using our many years of experience in the market.

All our customers’ marketing materials are stored in temperature-controlled warehouses, which means all the products are kept in good condition and are dust-free. Additionally, we are able to store higher value items within secure areas.

Items are picked and shipped daily. We are even able to ship internationally if required.

The benefits to our franchisors are simple. There is no need for them to fill their premises with marketing materials. There is no need for them to take orders for the materials from individual franchisees and there is no need to process, pack and ship orders. FastAnt will do this for you.

We have a unique view that we don’t want to store marketing material, we want to send it where it is most effective – in front of customers! So we will provide you with a dedicated account manager to understand and handle your day-to-day business.

How does that work in practice?
Well, one of our clients is a high street food and beverage franchise. At FastAnt we store everything from uniforms to stationery, point of sale to print. Using our internet-based system the franchise can order its marketing material through a branded portal. The order comes to FastAnt and we pick, pack and ship the products. At the same time the franchisor can view every aspect of the transactions and even see who is ordering what and when.
If you’re trying to grow your business but are being hampered by the day-to-day running of your franchise, then you’ll probably benefit from a conversation with FastAnt. We’ll put together a proposal for you, which will show you how we can reduce your workload and cost. That’s got to be worth half an hour of your time!
