| Unique Cost Saving Service From The Pink Link Ltd The Pink Link Ltd has recently designed and implemented a unique service to help its customers save money. Client, Nu-Swift International, supplier of high quality fire extinguishers, servicing and safety training, was experiencing high storage costs for a large number of its remote sites across the country. The Pink Link Ltd came up with a solution which would be of mutual benefit. The Pink Link Ltd’s parent network, Palletways’ existing nationwide depots would be used as storage facilities for Nu-Swift’s network of field based engineers rather than the company using its own. As an added value service, The Pink Link Ltd decided to absorb the cost of this into the client’s existing rates of carriage, rather than issue additional charges. Paul Daykin, Group Senior Manager of Nu-Swift said: “I spent a considerable amount of time analysing our current storage facilities, the locations required to house our engineers, the general implications of relocating them and as well as a complete cost saving analysis. The cost saving against the general upheaval of relocation was of such scale that we decided to proceed with this service and complied a proposal of all engineers who were to relocate their current site to their new site which was taken from a complete list of Palletways’ depots kindly supplied by The Pink Link Ltd.” In total, the process involved the relocation of 43 engineers and 20 different storage facilities into 21 different Palletways depots. A trial period with six engineers was arranged to begin with. This proved very successful and resulted in two phases being introduced for the relocation of the remaining engineers. The Pink Link Ltd has now successfully relocated all proposed engineers into the new storage facilities and the entire process took approximately 4 months. Reflecting on the decision to move forward with this service, Paul said: “The arrangement of the whole procedure would not have been possible without The Pink Link Ltd’s valuable input and assistance – contacting the principles of all proposed depots, introducing charters for our engineers to abide to, general administration and communication and overall aptitude to making this happen. “To relocate 43 engineers has been a big challenge but this had been done with the utmost efficiency and proved a seamless transition. I have no doubt that this will continue to work well and has enhanced the working relationship between The Pink Link Ltd and Nu-Swift Group of Companies and I look forward to a continued and successful partnership.” |
