Seamless Logistics in the International Supply Chain: EcoReadyBath and Derry Bros Collaboration

In modern logistics and international trade, effcient and well-coordinated customs handling is a critical success factor. The partnership between Derry Bros and EcoReadyBath, a manufacturer of prefabricated bathrooms, demonstrates how aligning streamlined internal processes with expert customs support can deliver greater predictability and clear operational benefits.

EcoReadyBath: From Factory to European Markets

EcoReadyBath, a brand under Procyon Construction S.A., specialises in the design, production, and delivery of prefabricated bathrooms for B2B clients, including general contractors, investors, and developers across residential, hotel, and academic sectors. The company supplies fully equipped bathroom modules for projects such as hotels, apartment buildings, senior living facilities, and student accommodation throughout Europe.

Its primary markets include Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, where prefabrication is increasingly becoming the standard for large-scale construction projects. In recent years, EcoReadyBath has successfully delivered hundreds of bathroom modules across numerous developments, including projects for international hotel brands.

“We view prefabrication as a fully managed process,” explain EcoReadyBath representatives. “From client planning and production design to serial manufacturing in controlled factory conditions, delivery, and on-site installation—this approach ensures consistent quality, predictable timelines, and reduced construction risk.”

The company is also investing in automation and robotics to scale operations while maintaining full control over quality, efficiency, and logistics. As EcoReadyBath continues to expand across Europe, maintaining a secure and consistent supply chain, supported by effective customs handling, has become essential to its growth.

Building a Streamlined Customs Process

At the outset of the collaboration, Derry Bros and EcoReadyBath conducted a detailed review of the entire customs process, from export planning to import clearance. The goal was to simplify procedures and align them with EcoReadyBath’s production and transport schedules.

“We wanted customs declarations to integrate seamlessly into EcoReadyBath’s operational rhythm, rather than disrupt it,” explains Monika Kicińska, Sales Manager Europe/Poland at Derry Bros. “By analysing the full process together, we were able to design a solution that is both simple for the client and fully compliant with customs requirements.”

EcoReadyBath placed equal importance on structured documentation and repeatable processes.

“Our production is built on high-quality standards, so it was natural to adopt the same structured approach to customs clearance,” says Piotr Kotnis, Head of Supply Department at EcoReadyBath. “We were looking for a partner who understands our operational model and can tailor solutions accordingly.”

Approved Premises: Faster, More Controlled Clearances

A key development in the partnership was the establishment of approved premises at EcoReadyBath’s site, enabling customs clearances to be completed directly at the point of loading.

This eliminates the need for vehicles to travel to external clearance locations, streamlining the process significantly.

“From a logistics perspective, it makes a huge difference when a truck can be cleared immediately after loading,” says Monika Kicińska. “It reduces unnecessary stops, minimises the risk of delays, and ensures full control over documentation accuracy.”

For EcoReadyBath, this has transformed customs clearance into a predictable and manageable stage of the supply chain.

“Previously, customs clearance introduced uncertainty into our schedules,” explains Piotr Kotnis. “Now it’s a controlled process carried out on-site, allowing us to integrate it precisely into both production planning and delivery timelines.”

One Order, Full Coordination

Derry Bros provides comprehensive customs support across EcoReadyBath’s entire supply chain—from the country of origin to destination markets.

Import clearances in the UK and Switzerland are prepared remotely at the loading stage, with all formalities managed under a single order through the Digicom system. This removes the need for coordination with multiple customs agents across different countries.

Derry Bros handles both EU exports and full import clearances outside the customs union, including all required border documentation such as Safety & Security (S&S GB) and Goods Movement Reference (GMR). As a result, drivers depart with a complete and accurate set of documents, ensuring smooth entry into destination markets.

“For the client, having a single point of contact is key,” says Monika Kicińska. “EcoReadyBath doesn’t need to track regulatory changes or manage multiple agents—we take care of it all.”

This streamlined approach is highly valued by EcoReadyBath’s logistics team.

“It significantly reduces errors and delays,” notes Piotr Kotnis. “We work with consistent, complete documentation, supported by a user-friendly platform and a dedicated account manager who understands our processes and responds quickly. In prefabrication, every stage must be synchronised—logistics and customs are no exception.”

A Partnership Supporting Growth

The collaboration between Derry Bros and EcoReadyBath is built on trust, clear communication, and a shared understanding of operational needs. Together, they have transformed customs handling from a necessary administrative task into a strategic component of international expansion.

“This partnership goes beyond the traditional supplier-client relationship,” summarises Monika Kicińska. “It’s about working together to find solutions that genuinely support the client’s business.”

“We see Derry Bros as a key partner in our export development,” adds Piotr Kotnis. “Efficient customs handling gives us the confidence to scale production, expand into new markets, and deliver international projects with certainty.”

As automation advances and production capacity grows, the need for stable and predictable logistics becomes even more critical. The partnership with Derry Bros plays a central role in this strategy, enabling continued international expansion while maintaining full control over the supply chain.
