Award of the 2005 quality prize
at the Duisburg und Freising Mail branches
The quality prize was awarded to
transportation companies at the
Duisburg Mail branch for the 4th
time on 19 January 2006. In 2005, the
winners were Spedition KARA from
Duisburg (up to 3.5 t) and Schneider
Transport from Essen (over 3.5 t).
Contenders for the prize, which is
awarded each year, have to offer topquality
freight-forwarding services
in terms of reliability, punctuality,
appearance of the vehicles and customer-oriented
conduct, as well as
skilled employees.
To ensure that all contracting parties
profit from this event in a win-win
situation, the new quality offensive
regarding transportation companies
has previously been explained to our
partners by the MAIL division and
the benefits of WILLIS insurance have
been explained by Partner-Store. The
event was rounded off with a presentation
of vehicles from the Mercedes-
Benz branch in Duisburg, followed by
a discussion round.
On 18 February 2006, all service
providers were invited to the presentation
of the “Best transportation
company 2005” quality prize at the
Freising mail centre. During a corporate
event, Ms Arlott, the department
head in charge at Freising, handed
out fantastic prizes and awards. In
addition, all winning transportation
companies were given an additional
credit voucher by Partner-Store
New usage analysis
Fleets comprising MAN, DAF and
Iveco vehicles and vehicles equipped
with suitable electronics can profit
from the new FleetBoard usage analysis.
The FleetBoard telematics services
can be used in the entire fleet,
regardless of the vehicle manufacturer.
With “route management” and
“shipment tracking”, the dispatcher
has a direct link to the driver’s cabin.
The driver him/herself can reply to
transmitted orders with status reports
via the FleetBoard DispoPilot and use
it for convenient navigation to his/
her destination. FleetBoard vehicle
management, the functions of which
include analysing the driving style
for its economy, was the reserve of
companies using Mercedes-Benz
trucks alone to date. The new solution
covers now all manufacturers
and takes into account criteria such
as excessive revs, braking behaviour
or consumption figures, which in turn
allow conclusions to be made about
the fuel-saving driving style of every
single vehicle. www.fleetboard.de
