Exclusive Insights into Digital Logistics
Over cool drinks and Bavarian delicacies, Matthias Reinhard, deputy master of the Construction Guild Munich, gave a brief welcome address.
Co-founder Matthias Handschuh then invited guests behind the scenes and explained the operations at 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 telematics 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 Possibilities
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 the digital cockpit – every customer who enters the logistics center realizes that the future of construction equipment rental begins here.
With beautiful late summer weather, guests then concluded the evening outdoors while adhering to hygiene regulations. Whether it was an Ox Grill Sandwich from the food truck Ringlers, a Gin Tonic from the mobile cocktail bar Munich Flavour, or a delicious Mousse au Chocolat for dessert – culinary well-being was well taken care of. So guests could have a relaxed professional conversation or two over DJ sounds and torch light. Those who preferred to get their hands dirty could prove themselves in the Excavator Challenge and skillfully maneuver a soccer ball with the shovel into a target.
A successful launch for the logistics center – we look forward to venturing into the future of digital construction equipment rental together with our customers and partners!
Even More Efficient Rental Processes Thanks to Logistics Center
With the logistics center in Munich, we are even more flexible in the delivery of machines, 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 collaboration with local logistics providers, 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 machines but also quick replacement in case of defects if repairs on-site are not immediately possible. This ensures klarx customers that all construction phases can be completed on time.
2. Greater 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 in real-time on transport and delivery. This enables better planning and, ultimately, efficiency for both sides, resulting in tremendous time savings.
3. Greater Proximity to Customers
Thanks to personal handover and direct on-site communication, klarx is now even closer to what's happening and, most importantly, to our customers. While adhering to all hygiene measures, machine training and digital handover take place, which is documented in the klarxMANAGER.
Trucks branded with the typical klarx design ensure visibility during delivery and pickup. Our drivers are also equipped with appropriate clothing to provide the perfect all-around rental experience. Together, we're taking the next step toward our future vision – Empower The Future Of Construction.
