» BARCODE SCANNING IS now in place from sales through to delivery at Brighouse-based VS specialist , Quickslide . Designed to increase the level and accuracy of information between the window and door fabricator and its Trade Partners at every stage of the order process , this latest development is part of the company ’ s efforts to continuously improve the quality of its service .
It follows a series of earlier investments designed to enhance the customer experience . The £ 2m programme of growth includes a new dispatch centre , completed on time last year , despite the challenges of lockdown .
The introduction of a dedicated facility for all finished goods
|
means handling is minimised and delivery vehicles can be loaded faster , ultimately enabling Quickslide to service its customers more efficiently .
Other investments include the installation of a state-of-the-art Schirmer CNC machine , two corner cleaners and two quad welders , plus the addition of four new delivery vehicles linked to Quickslide ’ s EvoNET business management system .
Communicating directly with each vehicle ’ s TomTom satellite navigation , EvoNET devises the most efficient delivery route for the day and keeps customers informed of their order ’ s progress via text and email alerts , allowing them to manage
|
their daily workloads more effectively .
EvoNET is also able to alert drivers if anything has been left off the vehicle prior to departure , or if an order is left on board by mistake during delivery . This significantly reduces the risk of errors and gives Quickslide customers even greater confidence that their orders will arrive on time and in full .
Ben Weber , Quickslide ’ s Managing Director , said : “ Barcode scanning enables us to keep track of orders , reduces paperwork and streamlines efficiency but just as importantly , it helps our Trade Partners
|
manage their workload more effectively . This helps them deliver what was promised to their homeowner customers , ensuring that a better service is achieved right throughout the supply chain .
“ Quickslide is firmly committed to continuously evolving to maintain our position at the very forefront of the window and door industry and we believe our latest improvements to the processing , manufacture , transport and delivery of our product range are a clear example of this .”
