Nick Mendoza Of Crest Volvo Saves $4k\/month By Using Same-Day Delivery<\/h4>\n

Like most things in life, businesses must evolve to meet economic demands. Dealers have to find new ways to improve their services and create customer efficiencies. For Nick Mendoza, Parts Manager at Crest Volvo, he needed a better and faster way to pick up and deliver local parts for his wholesale customers. Nick had his in-house drivers, but he needed a solution for those hotshot delivery orders. It needed to be cheaper than hiring another driver and easy to manage.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Nick learned about Same-Day Delivery, a solution that came at no additional cost to their existing partnership with RevolutionParts. With this new feature, he would have an on-demand delivery service to utilize for any local parts order. Nick explained, \u201cWe have two drivers that deliver parts for us. But, if they\u2019re out en route and another shop needs a part fast, then we just set that up through Same-Day Delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty straightforward. We did a couple test runs to see how Same-Day Delivery worked. After the first few days, it was easy to get the hang of.\u201d<\/h5>\n

Nick and his Warehouse Manager have been able to improve the efficiencies for their customers and for their own dealership. With almost 90 deliveries made in the first 3 months<\/strong>, Nick and the Parts Department at Crest Volvo have been using Same-Day Delivery to not only service their local customers but to help get parts to their service department.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use it a lot for our service department,\u201d says Nick, \u201cIf a car\u2019s down and they need to get it out, they don\u2019t have to wait for one of our driver\u2019s to come back. With Same-Day Delivery, we can get a part from another dealer just 30 minutes away and bring it back as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

By having this on-demand delivery option, Nick says they\u2019ve been able to cut down on time and costs for his department: \u201cThe drivers will get there 15-20 minutes faster than our in-house staff, and it\u2019s cheaper than any other option for delivery.\u201d Hiring another driver would have cost him around $4,500 per month for both driver and vehicle, but Nick has averaged just $17.74 per delivery<\/strong> using Same-Day Delivery.<\/p>\n
