CEVA Logistics Secures Distribution Contract Renewal With Volkswagen Group UK
CEVA Logistics, a leading global supply chain management company, has been awarded a contract renewal to manage the national distribution of replacement vehicle parts on behalf of Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited. Volkswagen also recently renewed its warehousing and commercial contracts with CEVA Logistics in the UK. The renewal of this contract further extends Volkswagen Group and CEVA's long-standing partnership in the UK, where they have worked together for the past 22 years.
On behalf of the Volkswagen Group, CEVA delivers through the night to 850 Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, Škoda, SEAT and VW Commercial Vehicles dealerships and Trade Parts Specialists nationwide. Customers can place orders until 6.30 pm for a pre-9.00 am next day delivery. The renewal also involves express delivery services carried out by CEVA-managed carriers and a new mobile track and trace IT system (C-CAM) to support an improved dealer returns service. Every vehicle will now be fitted with a GPRS-linked in-cab system which enables all delivery and returns processes to be tracked in real-time, thus improving speed and accuracy. "We chose CEVA as our parts distribution partner because they once again demonstrated their ability to offer a high quality service at a competitive price," said Rawdon Glover, Group Services Director, Volkswagen Group UK.
"The Volkswagen Group is a very important client for us at CEVA and we are delighted they have renewed their distribution contract with us. We attribute our success rate to the team involved, particularly the managers, supervisors and drivers employed on the contract. They provide an outstanding level of customer service," explained Nick Cullen, Managing Director, CEVA Logistics, UK.
CEVA works with the Volkswagen Group in a number of markets throughout the world including the UK, Germany and China, providing world-class logistics services in both manufacturing support and after sales.
