Service at the right location

A timely transportation is one thing, but every performance can be improved. Ultimately, the transported good has to be completely available at the right location. That requires unloading and assembling services. Carrier Andres is also taking care of this. We consider assembling, in individual cases, as part of our job as logistics service provider. A recent example is the first successful delivery and assembly of natural stone weighing tables, each weighing between 400 to 500 kg

Carrier Andres has just accomplished another step towards a paperless office. The use of Konica’s multi-purpose device “bizhub PRO” enables a drastic reduction of paper copies. The scanned original document is enough to manage the complete business chain from the incoming customer request for a transfer order towards the invoicing. Patrick Andres estimates a reduction of several hours of admin time each week. He says: “We are a mid-sized company. Constant improvements are simply part of our daily routine

Exhibitors know that trade show presentations are pricy exercises. Customers can at least save money now, as Carrier Andres is familiar with the delivery and collection processes. For example, if forklifts are ordered in advance instead of asking for an ad hoc delivery, 50.00 Euros can be saved each trip. The money saving add up with bigger exhibition stand

No, it’s not the price which leads to a decision in the end. The performance is crucial when it comes to logistics. It is last but not least the adequate DIN ISO 9001 certification which contributes to the performance. Carrier Andres was in line for a follow-up certification on 5th April 2011 and passed with top marks. The performance level in the previous year was already at a hardly gradable 98.

This tool enables customers of mid-sized companies to register their orders online. All document templates of carrier Andres were consistently standardised in the course of the implementation. The carrier additionally uses the M3 Logisticware, the M-Telematicware for blackberries and the EWS-Entfernungswerke Strasse [software to calculate distances] from Dr. Malek.

In case of doubt – Debt Collection!

Carrier Andres has assigned TimoCom to take over the debt collection after the 30 day-payment period has elapsed. TimoCom is officially authorised and in the centre of events due to their tendering platform for freight and vehicle exchanges. TimoCom has national and international market knowhow in the transport industry and can deny defaulting debtors the access to the TimoCom tendering platform. Carrier Andres appreciates the excellent flow of information. Patrick Andres says, „The success rate is high, the communication with the debt-collection department exemplary and the price performance ratio on national and international level just right.“
