You’re in the business of making money and doing quality work for your customers. You may have various strategies that help you to achieve those goals but be sure to not overlook your vehicle. Your vehicle is a crucial part of your business, and the right vehicle can drastically improve both your revenue and efficiency.
Reduce Downtime
When you arrive at a job site for the first time, all you have to rely on is what’s in the truck. How many times have you or one of your technicians had to leave a job to go get a part? What does that cost you in time, gas money, and reputation? One of the reasons thousands of contractors have chosen our truck bodies and shelving units is their ability to carry just about every part you could ever need. That means no time spent going back to get a part and no uneasy conversation with a customer about not being able to complete a job.
Capture Upsell Opportunities
Have your ever discovered additional services that could be done at a job site but were turned done by the customer when you told them you had to go get another part in order to complete it? How many more customers would agree to those optional services if you already had all the necessary parts there with you?
Improve inventory control
Those are benefits at the job site that our customers find. But what about once you return to the office? Our bodies influence your business there too. Our shelving makes stocking and restocking a breeze, allows for easy implementation of an inventory control system, and provides checks and balances to the jobs performed that day.
What more could you want?
Save time and money at the job site while improving your odds for upsells.
Save time and improve accountability and transparency at the office.
Drastically increase efficiency everywhere.
Our bodies turn your vehicle into a warehouse on wheels and can have a huge impact on how you operate your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is a warehouse on wheels?
A warehouse on wheels is a specialized vehicle setup that uses high capacity truck bodies and custom shelving units to carry a full inventory to every job site. It eliminates the need for supply runs by ensuring every tool and part you might need is always within arm’s reach.
2. How does this setup reduce business downtime?
You stop losing hours to part runs and mid-day supply trips because your entire inventory travels with you. This keeps your technicians on-site and focused on completing the billable work rather than sitting in traffic or waiting at a supply house.
3. Can a warehouse on wheels really increase my revenue?
Yes, it allows you to capture immediate upsell opportunities by having the necessary parts for additional repairs already on hand. Customers are much more likely to agree to extra services when you can perform them instantly without scheduling a follow-up visit.
4. How does a mobile warehouse improve inventory management?
The integrated shelving systems create a structured environment where every item has a dedicated place. This organization makes it simple to implement tracking systems and perform quick audits at the end of the day to see exactly what was used.
5. Will this help my professional reputation with customers?
Arriving fully prepared demonstrates a high level of professionalism and respect for your customer’s time. You avoid the awkward conversation of admitting you are missing a part, which builds trust and encourages repeat business.
6. Does this system provide benefits back at the main office?
The organized layout makes restocking a fast and efficient process for your warehouse team. It also improves accountability and transparency by providing a clear visual check of the work performed and parts consumed during the day.
