Over the past 18 months, the company has seen unprecedented growth in UK demand for its luxury computers and now manufactures thousands of custom-built systems each month at its base in the North East. Customers have the option to order fully customised systems delivered in short order or pre-configured PCs and laptops online by 2pm and have the finished items delivered the following day.

Using port centric warehousing and outsourced logistics services from the Port of Tyne has helped management to significantly improve supply chain performance, with a more streamlined logistics operation and real-time stock management.

"Prior to working with the Port, component shipments would arrive at multiple UK port destinations from Asia and be stored locally in different warehouses, or backed up at port, before delivery into their Gateshead site.

"This often created delays and stock control issues.

"Now, all container shipments are shipped to South Shields and stored in a port-centric warehouse, using the Port's warehouse management software system to maintain a tight production schedule.

Steve Mason at Cyberpower said: "Working with the Port of Tyne has given us a strategically advantageous arsenal of logistics support, scalable as we continue to grow."
