Dispatcher saves 100€ (and a 3-night sleepover) after truck missed a scheduled delivery
Our first order was from a dispatcher whose driver missed a scheduled delivery in the Netherlands, Ede area.
The next scheduled delivery window was in 4 days.
The driver arrived late in Ede, Netherlands. We are not sure of the delay, but the warehouse is known for very strict scheduled deliveries.
If you are late for your delivery you need to book a new time slot.
this time window could be anywhere from the same day up to even 5 workdays later. This time the next delivery was in 4 days (at 6:00 in the morning).
Looking for a solution better than sleepovers
Our client was used to this. She knew that in the last resort the driver would sleepover as it already happened a few times in the past.
They looked for transport companies nearby, but they didn’t do scheduled deliveries. They contacted their nearby partners and managed to find one about 100 km away that could finish the delivery for them.
Since the dispatcher knew us and that we might be able to help them, she sent a request for temporary storage and delivery.
In 30 minutes we had a warehouse that was only 30km from the final destination for a lower price.
What was the cost?
The starting price was 269,50 € for warehousing and delivery or 110 € for warehousing only. It increased to 330€ for scheduled delivery and warehousing.
The final price for 3-day storage, scheduled delivery, outside of work hours, and increased cargo amount was, in the end, 430€ (all the prices include a discounted service fee of about 10%).
Despite the increase in the price, the offer we found was still at least 100€ better than the one from their partners.
Not to mention sleepover cost would be up to 1.000€ or more.
We got better since then!
We launched direct online booking and INSTANT booking on StoringCargo.com! In few weeks, the live chat with the warehouse will be possible (End of February 2021)
Since then our network of warehouses increased to 488+ all over Europe!
