By the time new vehicles, trucks and earth moving equipment roll off production lines they will have undergone a series of strict and rigorous quality control tests to ensure they arrive at the dealerships in immaculate condition. However, for most vehicle, trucks and earth moving equipment companies, the reality is that after new assets leave the factory there is always a risk that they will be damaged before they reach the showrooms. Damage to your Company “branded assets” in transit is a major headache for car manufacturers, Logistics service providers and clients and one in which they invest a good deal of time and money in trying to curb damages. So what are the latest developments and innovations in the damage protection sector–and what part might logistics providers play in minimizing the risk of transport-related damage? FVL have the know how and the right products to assist with reducing the risk of damaging vehicles, trucks and earth moving equipment in storage and transit. Whereas the methods of protection vary based on a number of factors, the primary goal is always the same: to minimize damage as cost-effectively as possible. OEMs evaluate their needs on an ongoing basis, but depending on their different destination markets and the size and requirements of their products, many are likely to keep coming up with different conclusions. < 3m >It’s no mistake Finished Vehicle Logistics is regarded as one of the leading added value supply chain providers of automotive logistics and supply chain solutions.

Operation Bobbi Bear is a human rights organization committed and dedicated to working with and assisting sexually abused children in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. “Bobbi Bear” is a non-threatening means (toy) for child victims of sexual abuse to communicate the nature of the abuse, crossing all language barriers and preventing secondary abuse at the point of rescue. It provides the criminal justice system and caregiver with a better understanding of actual events and enables the initiation of appropriate HIV and AIDS interventions.
Operation Bobbi Bear’s success rate with prosecution of the perpetrators and providing safe homes for the abused children is testament to the organization’s training programmed both with individuals, the community and collaboration with the criminal justice system in South Africa.

QUICK TURN-AROUND TIME
Why Quick Turn Around Times from FVL Are So Important? The faster you can get your vehicles, the more efficiently you can run your business. When you’re waiting around for your shipment to come in, you can lose out on time, money, and customers. Quick turnaround times for FVL are important for all their customers, regardless of industry. When searching for a new added value automotive service provider, ensure who you end up working with is reputable, has great customer service, and has quick turnaround times. Taking the time to get the right added value automotive service provider can make a huge difference in your own company’s efficiency.
Here are just some of the ways quick turnaround times from FVL are vital.
Time Savings
There are never enough hours in a day for business. Things need to go at a fast pace in order to ensure profitability. When you’re waiting around for lengthy lead times from your manufacturer or supply chain, you’re wasting time. And in today’s business world, this is unacceptable. Reputable FVL service supplier knows you need the shortest lead times and they’ll work with you to save you time.
Productivity
If your employees aren’t working at their full potential from the moment they clock in to the time they clock out, you’re costing your company money in useless labor costs. And when they’re standing around doing nothing because your manufacturer or supply chain doesn’t have quick turnaround times and they can’t keep working till the shipment of vehicle arrives, that lack of productivity is on your and our shoulders.
Fill Orders Quickly
Your customer service is bound to increase when your manufacturer or supply chain can give you short turnaround times. That’s because your own business can continue to run at a fast pace so you can fill your customers’ orders faster. When you don’t have production gaps due to manufacturing delays, you can exceed your customers’ expectations with the quick service you provide.
Stronger Reputation
In a sea of companies just like yours, it can be understandably difficult to stand out from the crowd. Naturally, you want to have a strong reputation in the industry so customers choose us over the rest. Working with FVL suppliers that give you short lead times can help you achieve this goal, since you’ll be able to deliver your products faster than your competitors.
More Sales
Your customers won’t take kindly when they have to wait for their vehicles because of delayed production or supply chain. While they’re waiting, they may look to your competitors to get their orders filled if you can’t deliver on time. But when you work with a FVL supplier with quick turnaround times, you can keep those sales and lead times in check.
Reduced Inventory
Storing inventory takes up space and can be costly. You can save on these avoidable storage costs when you work with FVL with quick turnaround times. You won’t need to order so much at one time, because you know you’ll be able to get new shipments when needed.
