Thumbs up Facility Move a Company Insight

Thought we would share some news about our upcoming move and why and how our business decisions effect you the end user.

Aqua Digital inc has always made sure we keep our business costs down so ultimately the end user gets the best possible deal with products we carry, staff cost money, warehouses cost money, that money has to come from somewhere, ultimately the sale of the products supplied. Keeping long term operational costs in check have a big impact on long term survival of any business.

A while back we decided to avoid the huge costs of staff and leased warehousing and look for a far more cost effective way of distribution. Luckily for us we are surrounded by companies that offer product distribution. This turned out to be a monumental cost saving and as such we have been able to keep our supply costs to a minimum. Both our dealers and ultimately end users have benefited from this.

Our business ethics and ethos have been widely received and as such we find ourselves outgrowing our current arrangements, so to make room for the line of new products coming your way through us this year we have signed a long term agreement with Boyds International to look after all our inventory control and warehousing needs.



The benefits are huge, our costs have been secured so we can keep pricing stable and also have a massive storage area at our disposal along with access to an onsite bonded area for customs clearance allowing for cheaper and faster inbound of goods.

As we continue to grow our direct aim is to make sure we remain accessible to all and seen and run as a family business keeping business costs down to support the Canadian hobbyist as best as possible.

Furthermore by implementing these same policies elsewhere we are able to fast expand into new territories such as our new goals to get GHL into South America.

We move from 1270 Leeds Ave Ottawa to 1255 Leeds ave on the 2nd June.

Thanks, it allows us to secure a long term business model knowing in advance our costs.

We could have gone down the risky route of signing long term leases, employing warehouse staff etc etc, all looks flash but ultimately the end user pays for that, those costs have to come from somewhere.

Our current arrangement next door at Ottawa Logisitcs is just too small for us to grow, now being an integral part of Boyds the distribution potential at minimal costs is vast.
