Spare Parts Delivery Service in a Post-Covid World

Spare Parts Delivery Service in a Post-Covid World — A New Reality

What does spare parts delivery service look like as we move toward a post-Covid world?

Chances are, employees are still not monitoring the doors of a business, nor are they sitting in nearby cubicles, ready to greet drivers and accept deliveries of mission-critical spare parts. It has been this way since Covid-19 was declared to be a pandemic in March 2020. At that time, 88% of the organizations around the world, surveyed by Gartner Inc., either made it mandatory or highly encouraged employees to work from home.

Nowadays, with unmanned sites and buildings, companies will often assign a technician or employee to arrive on site at a specific time, and only long enough, to simply accept spare parts deliveries. This means that high-tech OEMs need a supply chain partner who has a wide variety of flexible service delivery options to accommodate end customer needs. The need for speed drives the demand for premium same-day deliveries to meet 2-hour or 4-hour service level agreements.

The need for speed and flexibility is where Flash Global comes in. You have variable service contracts and SLAs, and so Flash offers a wide range of spare parts delivery service options to meet your needs.
