Over cool drinks and Bavarian delicacies, Matthias Reinhard, deputy master of the Munich Construction Guild, gave a brief welcome address.
Afterwards, co-founder Matthias Handschuh invited guests behind the scenes and explained the processes in the new logistics center: Rental partners provide construction equipment for rental through the logistics center. klarx equips the machines with tracking units, so that the telematic data of the machines can be evaluated at any time and current locations can be determined. With this data, construction equipment rental becomes simpler, faster, and more cost-effective – you can read exactly how this works in the following article:
How the klarx Logistics Center Creates New Opportunities
Digitalization, Data, and Design – klarx Shapes the Future of Construction Equipment Rental
But it wasn't just the tools for data processing and the new logistics processes that impressed guests – the interior design also surprised: whether it's the lounge area or digital cockpit – every customer realizes upon entering the logistics center that the future of construction equipment rental is beginning here.
With perfect late summer weather, guests later wound down the evening outdoors and while adhering to hygiene regulations. Whether an Ox Grill Sandwich from the food truck Ringlers, a Gin Tonic from the mobile cocktail bar Munich Flavour, or delicious Mousse au Chocolat for dessert – everyone was catered for. Guests were able to have relaxed professional conversations while enjoying DJ music and torchlight. Those who preferred to get their hands dirty could prove themselves at the excavator challenge and skillfully maneuver a football with the shovel into a target.
A successful start for the logistics center – we look forward to moving into the future of digital construction equipment rental together with our customers and partners!
Even More Efficient Rental Processes Thanks to the Logistics Center
With the logistics center in Munich, we are even more flexible in delivering machinery, which benefits not only our customers but also our rental partners: we deliberately create additional capacity and support our partners – for even more efficient rental and leasing of construction equipment. In-house delivery brings three major advantages.
1. Flexibility and Faster Response
Thanks to our collaboration with local freight companies, we can guarantee our customers in and around Munich even faster delivery and pickup. By managing our own logistics, we improve our entire rental experience: We not only guarantee timely delivery of machinery but also quick replacement in case of defects if on-site repair is not immediately possible. This ensures that klarx customers can be confident that all construction phases can be completed on time.
2. Additional Transparency and Planability
Questions like "where is my construction equipment" or "when can I expect delivery?" are a thing of the past. With our digital tools, we keep project managers and procurement officers updated on delivery and pickup in real-time. This enables better planning and ultimately efficiency for both sides, resulting in significant time savings.
3. Greater Proximity to Customers
Thanks to personal handover and direct on-site communication, klarx is now even closer to the action and especially to customers. While adhering to all hygiene measures, machinery is introduced and digitally handed over in the klarxMANAGER system.
Our trucks in typical klarx branding ensure visibility during delivery and pickup. Our drivers are also equipped with appropriate clothing, ensuring the perfect all-around rental experience. Together, we're taking the next step toward our future vision – Empower The Future Of Construction.
