What happens in the hand over area?
The new hand over area is about “even more than machinery” – the vehicle hand over becomes an experience. The customer is well taken care of and feels appreciated. At best, he thinks: “They have given me such a good experience, so I’ll be back”.
The individual design from us, in other words “customer wishes” take several weeks of detailed work from the theoretical drawing phase, and are finally presented in the perfect setting. On the day of hand over, we pay full attention to the new achievement (turnkey solution). The vehicle with headlights and flashing lights switched on is ready awaiting first inspection.
First there is the theoretical training of the systems. Subsequently, the different topic areas are again tested in practice (using the official guidelines). For all questions and concerns, two employees are available during the delivery process.
This is always the moment of truth because not only the customers are proud of their new vehicle, but for us the hand over and direct feedback from the purchaser and operator are a fantastic experience which contributes to a good and sustainable relationship.
