FINALS OF G AWARDS CAN ’ T COME QUICK ENOUGH
» LEADING WINDOW AND DOOR fabricator and VS specialist Quickslide has become a finalist in this year ’ s G Awards in two key categories .
For Customer Care Initiative , Quickslide submitted a scheme that has successfully reduced its engineer callouts by more than 60 %, by identifying that many installers assumed handling and fitting VS windows was the same as other frame types , whereas the reality is quite different . Quickslide therefore set out to train its installer customers , which in turn allowed greater resource to be applied to quality control in the Quickslide factory , further reducing remedial site visits .
For the Fabricator of the Year entry , Quickslide submitted details of the company ’ s extensive system development programme , within which its in-house R & D team developed integrated CRM , Scanning and Despatch applications designed to provide solutions way ahead of standard industry products .
These have resulted in significant increases in lead conversion rates , average order values , reductions in after-sales callouts , together with on time and in full ( OTIF ) improvements at the highest levels since pre-COVID .
