Many years ago we had a rail system to talk about which was a preferred choice of transport between our main centres. Over the years our railage system started to collapse due to many factors and this led to a boom in road transport. Today, our roads are well populated with trucks transporting everything from baked beans to TV's to alcohol and everything in between. It has become a very competitive market and those who lack years of experience and innovative practices tend to suffer financially, often losing big, stable contracts to the more established operator who is ahead of his game.
To be fair, the businessman suffering financially in this sector isn't entirely at fault. Operational factors play a huge role. For example, consider the fuel price.
A few years ago you paid half of what you do now. Trucks were half the price. Tyres weren't too expensive comparatively. Our labour laws were more relaxed. Our roads were in better condition meaning your rig would suffer less damage. And so the list goes on.
At Velisa Agencies, we focus on 3 key areas to target operational costs. Our research shows that the most talked about costs to businesses in logistics include tyre troubles, fuel expenses and fuel theft.
We can go a long way to drastically reduce the costs of the above concerns. Here are answers to each:
- Tyre Trouble: We have a world first product called Puncturesafe, imported from the UK. Read about the key features here. It is unlike any other product that has ever been in SA.
- Fuel Expenses: The price of fuel continues to rise and forces you to constantly keep a very close watch on consumption figures. We distribute and export a product which has been around for years. It is a South African product which will reduce your fuel consumption by up to 20%. In some cases
as is common with the Mercedes Actros, 21% saving is attainable followed closely by Volvo. Unlike any other product in the world, using it entitles you to the peace of mind knowing that every truck and vehicle in your fleet is covered by a R5 million insurance policy in the event of failure caused by the product. Due to compliance with fuel standards, your warrantee is also not affected. Read more over here.
- Fuel Theft: Keeping the fuel in the tank is sometimes a difficult thing to keep track of. By fitting Diesel Guard, you can completely protect your liquid assets ensuring the fuel goes only one way... into the tank. Competitors have a partial solution where they cover the filler neck only. We protect the filler neck, drain plugs, hoses, sender units and long range tanks. Read more here.
We are confident we can help you cut your logistical costs. Our whole focus in business is of an environmental nature. Our products all have a "green" aspect to them.
We also have a wide range of other products so please feel free to browse our website at www.velisa.co.za.
