EXPRESS TRANSPORT FOR AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

EXPRESS TRANSPORT FOR AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

A COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO COSTLY COMPROMISES


Are you a manufacturer or supplier of spare parts for automotive service? Do you run a shop or warehouse with components for the automotive industry? Or do you simply need to transport gearboxes, car seats, airbags or a vehicle component from your premises to a specified address in Europe?


In any case, you need Just in Time express transport for the automotive industry. Find out if there is a cost-effective alternative to an external warehouse and the services of a transport company that cannot fulfil your order this time. Perhaps this article will solve your problems with costly downtime and loss of flow in the supply chain once and for all. Regardless of the size of the order and the type of parts being transported.




AUTOMOTIVE STORAGE

6 COSTLY ARGUMENTS TO SAY "NO"


It might seem that an own warehouse solves many supply chain management problems and at the same time guarantees maximum logistical independence. However, logistics in the automotive industry is characterised by its own peculiarities, and the storage of spare parts and components is a generator of serious challenges.


Let us assume that we want to store spare parts for cars and/or trucks, agricultural vehicles or other equipment used in the broadly understood transport. Our list includes, among others, body parts (e.g. bumpers), vehicle interior equipment (e.g. seats), windows, airbags, brake pads, discs, bulbs and moldings. This variety of items makes storage multidimensional. Why? The answer is simple, but involves a complex planning and management process. This is because storing components (e.g. batteries) involves completely different requirements than storing sheet metal parts.


In other words, storing many different components in Automotive involves:


1. the need to design storage areas taking into account dimensional differences and safety requirements, fire regulations, environmental requirements and other legal regulations;

2. the necessity to differentiate warehouse processes affecting the efficient receipt, storage and release of spare parts;

3. adapting the warehouse for the storage, loading and unloading of items packed in parcels of various sizes;

4.  the need for continuous stock management and its integration with the ordering system, billing, etc. There are also two key arguments against renting external warehouses. These are:

5. the fixed costs associated with renting warehouse space and its operation;

6. logistical constraints related to the location of the warehouse itself, which often extends routes and delivery times.




AUTOMOTIVE EXPRESS - THE COST- EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE

THE BEST SOLUTION WHEN EVERY MINUTE COUNTS


Automotive express (especially Just in Time and Door2Door) is the best possible solution in terms of cost and speed. However, there is one "but". A really good transport company, which guarantees timely and safe transportation of automotive parts throughout Europe, is a prerequisite for success.




EXPRESS FREIGHT? no problem, but tomorrow…


Very often, the haulier we work with does not have vehicles available here and now. But we cannot wait, because the delivery of parts determines the entire production or repair process. Any delay can simply cost us dearly. In this situation, we start nervously searching the Internet to find a forwarding company that will fulfill the order in a flash.


We finally come across a haulier who offers express delivery for Automotive, but at a prohibitive price for two gearboxes. Another company claims to offer "a tailor-made offer and the ability to handle even the most difficult logistics tasks", but customer feedback makes us doubt this. In this situation we need a triple alternative because:


  • we do not use an external warehouse and our own fleet of BUSES;
  • we cannot use the transport company that usually serves us;
  • the offers of other hauliers are unacceptable.
