How a Priory van rental can help you fulfill that order.
It’s not easy running a small company. Every decision you take, every single day has the potential to make or break your business. You take work where you can find it and balance looking for the next contract with making sure you fulfil the existing ones.
Some days make you hope for the future, others make you dread tomorrow and all stages in between. But as you work every waking hour, there’s the satisfaction of having built something yourself, doing it your way, answering to no-one, holding your own and carving out your own place in the world.
Your big break
There’s a day every business owner looks forward to, the day when the big client you’ve been chasing decides to give you a try. That day is today and that first order, small fry to them, is huge to you. It represents not just a big payday, but the chance to show what you can do and win more business in the future. It turns out their usual supplier has let them down badly. They need what you supply by close of business tomorrow.
The logistical challenge
A quick inventory check tells you that you don’t have the raw materials to fulfill that order. Your usual supplier, has what you need, but their usual 24 hour delivery won’t give you time for your own processes – you need at least a day for an order this size. Added to this, your customer is 100 miles away and can’t collect.
The solution
You have no option – you need to collect the raw materials, process them and delivery the finished goods yourself. There’s not enough time to wait for couriers and in any case, their cost for rushing such bulky deliveries would make them prohibitively expensive.
A quick call to Priory Rentals and all of a sudden, you have hope, a plan and renewed purpose. Hurriedly booking a Luton Box van for two days, you pick it up and head straight for your supplier. Within a few hours, you pull up back at your premises and get to work. It’s a tough schedule, for the rest of the day and most of the next, but thanks to your quick collection, you’re able to finish the goods and deliver them personally to your hugely impressed new client. It’s the start of big things between you both.
The flexibility of Van hire – why buy your own?
For businesses on a tight budget, it’s not always feasible to have a large delivery vehicle when you only need to make bulk deliveries very occasionally. Factoring the costs of purchase, insurance, maintenance, depreciation and finding somewhere to keep it, it’s a large expense for a once in a while need.
With Priory van hire however, matters are far more flexible. When you need a van, you can hire one, when you don’t need a van, you’ve no need to worry about an unused vehicle putting pressure on your bottom line.
We have vans of all sizes available to hire. From the small yet spacious, to the cavernous Luton box vans and all stages in between. Simply pick van to suit your needs and make your booking. At a price that’s lower than you might expect!
