Aktron delivery truck – in youR region every week
This month we are celebrating the 1st anniversary of our South Island delivery truck. A year ago, the operations team at Aktron made the call to take control of all our delivery and logistics by investing in a South Island wide, personalized delivery service using our own truck and driver. 12 months later, we are amazed at how successful this has been. We no longer have to deal with missing consignments, damaged products, incorrect delivery or delayed delivery. Our friendly driver Colin ensures the product is delivered on time, in full and intact – every time!
Our operations team text our clients the day before our truck comes to their region to remind them to check their stocks and take advantage of this unique service. Feedback from our customers has been fantastic. They now know exactly when their product will arrive and that it will be delivered to the correct area, in full and undamaged. As well as this, our truck carries extra stock, meaning if they have forgotten to order, it is more than likely on our truck anyway.
Our truck leaves Christchurch every Monday morning and heads south to Invercargill. On Tuesday it travels up the center of the island, through Queenstown and Central Otago, back to Christchurch. On Thursday, it travels to the West Coast, delivering in Hokitika, Greymouth, Westport and Reefton and on Friday it continues on to Nelson and Blenheim and back through Kaikoura on its way home. Much to his enjoyment, our diver Colin sees some of the most scenic parts of New Zealand in his wide-ranging traverse of the South Island and his job is not one he wants to give up easy!
As stage 2, we now have our own delivery truck operating out of our Hamilton branch, delivering from Northland and Auckland to Taupo and across to the Bay of Plenty. Plans are underway for a weekly delivery run to the lower North Island with this week marking the first delivery trip to Wellington and Palmerston North.
Aktron are passionate about customer service. We are different to other oil companies who rely on third party logistics for their delivery, because we want to control the process, so our customers get the very best service and are not hampered by delays and downtime.
Keep an eye out for our delivery trucks on your travels and call out any time if you want to have your oil products delivered by New Zealand’s most trusted oil company!
