CARLSBAD, CA, January 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) Recently both companies underwent some changes in terms of marketplace positioning for two reasons according to Ken Light, Executive Head, SkyNet Worldwide. "Firstly our customers have an expectation that we will deliver more value than just collection and delivery," he says.
"They seek partnerships that deliver quantifiable value, and that value, in an increasingly volatile world comes in our unique ability to distribute goods anywhere in the region within a day. Our invested infrastructure means that we deliver daily to over 450 towns nationally - something few can match."
"The second reason is that until now we have operated our divisions as autonomous units, something that may have been appropriate in the past, but which could not support the new integrated and lead-time reducing needs of customers.
"We believe that we play a very specific role in the supply chain market within Southern Africa and it is important that the potential market understands our capabilities and strengths."
Both Crossroads and SkyNet ensure all activities and processes are geared towards meeting the constantly evolving and sometimes challenging needs of the client. "The touch points with the customer must be known and evaluated to ensure that they are adding value," notes Light.
