Common assumption is that the majority of your crate cost is in the cost of your crate. Crating protects what is most valuable and important to your client, requiring attention to detail and special consideration from start to finish. It is difficult to get right as it is riddled with variables and unique requirements throughout. So should you experience any of these issues below, they have costly consequences:
It is therefore more than just the crate that needs to be delivered quickly and dependably, it is all the processes that ensure the right object is being packed in the right crate, on the right move.
We think it is worth getting crating right and focusing on preventing these problems from happening in the first place. A few things we do that makes a difference:
• On average, Rebul prevents 15% of all its clients’ current crate orders from being made with dimensions errors. We proactively look out for and find errors
• Never forget to organise crating or take crates out on move again, with automatic crate reminders to consultants and operations when they are needed most
• Best practice crate quoting and ordering system, so all the necessary information is written on crates
• We use our experience for optimal crate design and crating consolidations, saving you money and ensuring the best protection
