The UK business has 400 UK and international suppliers and backhauls all around the country. It claims to be one of the first retailers to operate factory gate pricing, which it began five years ago.
Its 129 stores are in England and they carry around 1,000 lines, which are a limited mixture of all categories of grocery as well as non-foods, including deep-cut promotional lines which it describes as the dynamic range.
Fresh fruit and vegetable lines total about 50 and there are about 30 own labels on food and non-food. Stores also carry clothing and electrical goods, the latter sourced mainly on the grey market.
Netto's stores in England are serviced from a new depot in Daventry, Northamptonshire, and from the main depot at Netto head office in Wakefield, west Yorkshire.
Data from all stores is controlled by EPoS systems at head office, stock turnover is high, and Netto's logistics policy is just in time delivery.
Stores place their orders at night and they are processed at the warehouse the next day, for delivery in the afternoon  less than a 24-hour turnaround.
Daventry services the Midlands and the south of England, down to Southampton, and the 300,000 sq ft Wakefield depot covers the remaining stores. There is excess capacity at both depots which will be used as Netto expands throughout England and, possibly, into Scotland.
A dedicated area in each warehouse contains the dynamic lines which are publicised through weekly door-to-door leaflets in catchment areas.
Each warehouse has chilled and frozen areas and is designed to follow the store planogram for ease of picking, with product weight the other main consideration.
