Challenges

Previous van leasing contracts were coming to an end, as was the deadline for the Government's Super-deduction Tax scheme. Finding a van supplier with stock available with fast delivery was proving difficult.

Protectorcomms’ engineers were struggling to transport enough stock and equipment at one time, resulting in inefficient and frustrating repeat trips.

It was feared that using older vans may negatively impact the customer’s perception and first impressions.

Solution

  • Vansdirect’s streamline ordering process allowed Protectorcomms to take immediate delivery on 5 Citroën Dispatch vans, ensuring they qualified for the Super-deduction Tax Scheme in time.
  • Considering the customer’s needs, our team of van experts recommended a range of larger, fit-for-purpose models. This included Citroën’s highest spec Dispatch model, the XL Driver Edition. This features an extended load length, Air Conditioning, Cruise Control and a 7” Touchscreen Display.
  • The ‘Driver Edition’ spec level offered additional style with LED daylights and upgraded 17” wheel trims. For a professional finish, all vans were liveried with custom Protectorcomms branding.

Don't just take our word for it

“The high-quality work our engineers deliver is what sets us apart from the rest, so it’s crucial we look after them. In this case, it was providing them with better vans to make their job easier and more enjoyable. But we also needed them quickly. Vansdirect’s order process was incredibly smooth and communication from enquiry to delivery was on point. Time is precious in our business, so having our vans arrive on time gave us one less headache to worry about.”

“We also had the luxury of choice, which was perfect given our requirements - we’re now getting more work done and looking good doing it”.

Damian O’Brien, Director

“We knew Vansdirect had a good reputation and after dealing with them it was clear they were a good fit for us, with a range of quality vans and a team to match it.”
