at Telford on 9/10th May is one of the U.K.'s most comprehensive road transport exhibitions. At this year's IRTE, Herberts will be exhibiting a wide range of products and services tailored to the commercial vehicle market: The Standofax CV Business Development Programme is a unique package that will undoubtedly increase efficiency and profitability in the commercial vehicle bodyshop. It offers support to Stanciox users in all areas of production planning, job costing and business management. Standofax CV will also promote a more professional image through the use of bold new logos and exterior signage, and the application of modern marketing techniques.
The Business Analysis, a component of the new package, is a thoroughly researched, easy-to-follow system for improving the estimate conversion rate and bodyshop efficiency. The table is broken down into segments that enable quotations to be followed through to a conclusion, and an analysis made of the value, type of build and type of paintwork passing through the workshop. As part of the StandofaxCV Business Development Programme, Herberts invested in a E28,000 computerised Bodyshop Planning Service. This offers advice on everything from investment feasibility, building and equipment costs to reception layout, and the computerised system produces a quick and flexible approach to bodyshop design.
The Planning Service computer system holds a library of standard architectural symbols, as well as data on various booths, jigs and lifts, to enable equipment to be accurately placed inside an existing or proposed bodyshop.
More information about these products can be obtained on Stands 127 & 128 at IRTE, or by returning the coupon opposite.
