A press release say's it all...'An amazing year at Home Delivery Specialist Mark Two has been topped off with scooping a National Customer service award last night (Wednesday 9th December) at the customer service 'Oscars' held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Beating other finalists Manchester Airport, Aviva and Thames water, Mark Two were recognised for their 'Best use of Technology' in providing customer service to their customers. The award was won for revolutionising home delivery, allowing consumers to log into a website using their telephone number on the day of delivery and giving consumers the ability to see to the minute when their deliver is due to arrive. Their entire fleet are connected to their SAP ERP solution and thus provide real-time accurate updates to the consumer for the time of delivery. Consumers are bowled over by the experience and regularly write in to praise the system. Consumers no longer need to wait in for hours or take whole days off work for deliveries. Mark Two are fanatical about customer service, they are a family business that's run by professionals who understand that customers and consumers have more choice now than ever before. The business invests hugely in customer service. Mark Two Joint MD Hoppy who was at the awards ceremony last night paid tribute to everyone at the company.


A word from the director...

 

Things are not getting any easier out there but we are managing to re-invent ourselves to take advantage of the changing market conditions. We can only do this because our team of dedicated professional managers and their colleagues are hard working, committed and innovative. Managing change is our biggest challenge and the guys here are amazing. We all know that the industry will be hugely different again next year and we are all planning now for change.

 

Talking specifically about his delivery technology Hoppy went on to say...

In an age of ever advancing technology why should customers have to take days off work, sitting at home waiting in for deliveries and getting all stressed out? It's a nonsense. We have developed a fantastic application where you simply log into our website with your own phone number as your password and literally watch the delivery vehicle drive to your house...it's amazing! And if you don't believe your eyes we even publish the drivers phone number so you can call him direct...Now that is customer service. But technology is only one part of the answer. Yes we have fantastic home delivery tracking, you could say it's the best in the country, but so what? Our superior technology means that we get the product to the consumer on time, every time and we send exactly what they have ordered, but we have to do much more than that. The thrust of our business through our independents, merchants and large multiple retailers means that we also have to have world beating design, unsurpassed quality and great pricing too. When you are dealing with the likes of Tesco you have to have ticks in ALL the boxes.

 

Mark Two supply over 1000 independent kitchen and bathroom retailers, Wickes, Tesco,
Next, Clifton Trade Bathrooms, Bradford's and Graham. They are looking at impressive
growth next year and have a clarity of vision that is guiding them through this recession as a
better and stronger company than ever before. Hoppy sums it up…

And the future?

 

We are excited... very excited. We have more and more independent retailers looking to become exclusive retailers, merchants are looking for supply chain solutions and the high street retailers are trying to leverage their brands. We can help the all.
