The Christmas season is creeping up on us faster than ever, and ensuring your business is prepared is key to success at this busy time. Seasonal demands are notorious for being unpredictable and it can be difficult to accurately forecast what your business will need to fulfil all orders with minimal waste and keep your customers satisfied. However, long-term planning, based on lessons learnt this season, can provide you with the solutions you need for any fluctuations in demand.
Whether your peak season is Christmas, summer, or the end of the financial year, Dawsongroup understands the flexibility you need, when you need it. Its consultative, personalised service accommodates all your business requirements throughout the year, and helps you plan ahead. From commercial vehicles, power, and materials handling equipment to modular storage with environmental control, Dawsongroup has the solution for all your seasonal changes in demand.
Just-in-time solutions – whilst seemingly the most flexible option – should be a company’s last choice. They only supply equipment that is available, rather than the most suitable equipment, and should only ever be used out of necessity. Instead, businesses can ensure they have the best assets by thinking longer term and planning ahead. Customers who talk to Dawsongroup well in advance about what they are trying to achieve, instead of what they think they need, receive the greatest benefits. The solutions Dawsongroup provide will fulfil all the customer’s business requirements, offer the security of hiring top-of-the-line assets for the time they are needed, and also contribute towards meeting new demands for carbon reduction.
Dawsongroup hires a broad range of commercial assets across the supply chain, covering increases in seasonal demand and removing the necessity of investing in equipment that will only be used for part of the year. Hired assets are there when you need them and can be returned when you don’t. In addition to this, hiring takes away the responsibility of service, maintenance, and disposing of the equipment when it is of no further use to you. For commercial vehicles from Dawsongroup, all you have to do is insure it, fuel it and drive it. For every type of asset, all you have to do is take advantage of Dawsongroup’s Smarter Asset Strategy.
The best way to precisely forecast and prepare for vehicle utilisation during seasonal demands is to analyse data from previous years during specific periods. This information can be used to make data-driven decisions and accurately plan ahead, causing minimal disruption and providing a cost-effective solution for scaling up operations to meet short-term increases in demand. Accurate data analysis can also help you improve fleet efficiency as well as reducing operating costs and the impact your fleet has on the environment.
However, seasonal demand puts pressure on more than just your fleet. Having enough space for your seasonal needs, from storing raw materials to processing finished products, is an area businesses often struggle with, whilst soaring energy costs add further pressure. Dawsongroup’s modular solutions have the potential to completely change your capacity during seasonal periods, improving your processes and increasing productivity. In addition to this, you can keep energy costs to a minimum through Dawsongroup’s alternative energy options, such as solar panels, hybrid generators and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Use what you learn from this season to plan for the next one. Get ahead of the game by arranging to hire extra equipment from Dawsongroup today ready for future seasonal increases in demand.
