ROUTE ANALYSIS has shown Quinton Hazell Automotive that customer service can be improved by using transhipment depots and smaller delivery vehicles.
A £250,000 investment in 14 new vehicles has reduced delivery times by one third and QH now claims that 70 per cent of its 2,000 UK customers receive their goods within two days of placing an order. Three new depots in Bristol, Carlisle, and Glasgow are serviced twice weekly by a Ford drawbar trunker from a central warehouse in Nuneaton. A fleet of 13 Ford Cargo 7.5-tonne vehicles makes the final delivery to the customer.
