COVID Times Critical Support
When a French business in the health care sector had a shipment to be moved, that was both critical in multiple ways, they naturally chose the vendor from a global list of the best in business. The best with respect to time criticality, safety to the contents and the most critical piece with is the maintenance of temperature integrity. AJW Express, the parent company of Global Courier and Parcel Services got the job.
Bang in the middle of the COVID condition, we did the pickup in mid-May 2020? and had to fight several odds to make a delivery that met and surpassed the customers expectation. The job flew from Surat, via Bombay, to Frankfurt.
The odds that we had to fight were:
- The pickup was on a Saturday in Surat.
- Sunday was a customs holiday.
- LH could not give us space and the shipment had to be routed on EK.
- Customs clearance and export was arranged seamlessly on Monday and the shipment arrived safely and in-time.
Jobs such as the above, require many individuals and organizations that work in tandem and simultaneously with AJW Express at the speed of lightening, to ensure the safe passage and safety of the items being shipped. Executives from the side of AJW, the CHA, customs officers, Airline Executives, quite often the drug controller’s office, are some of the major contributors for the successful door-to-door handling that AJW Express ensures time after time.
29 Years / Million Deliveries – A Service Provider with Few Competitors in Our Class
60 million+ journal, magazine, book delivery – superlative service at industry’s best tariff
When an international business ships to India, the above and other items of low value, AJW Express, the parent company of Global Courier and Parcel Services, begins a series of actions that it has learned to do in its 27 years of dominance as a specialist service provider. Customers clearance at lightning speeds, an arrival confirmation report by house airway bill, piece and kilo, stacking by priority of age, transit time chosen, a quick breakdown and turnaround, will ensure that the shipment is delivered smartly and well on-time.
AJW Express has achieved this dominance by taking head-on and overcoming and number of challenges that came its way since 1994. Slipping in and out of various formidable situations, many of which could have broken us but for our relentless pursuit. Governmental agencies like the customs have to be convinced in matters such as evaluation and delays in release, the reluctance of the post office required convincing. Over time, the service tax department enforced a huge burden that was resolved once, and yet again deliberately imposed which we continued to fight. The GST, RBI and FIMA compliances are some of the tough ones we managed successfully. There have been many other lesser evils but not necessarily easier to resolve.
History of Challenges –
Within day of business commencement, we found the custom laws had changed and we required a special operating license called landing permission. The arduous and complicated task of proving your identity, providing bonds to the president of India, deposits of substantial sums and supplying a long list of documents to establish your financial history, your financial liquidity, the various addresses of your home and other business locations and every fact about you for the Government of India to access and locate you. All this was possible due to the support of a friend from the industry, who is now no more, may his soul rest in peace.
Having mastered the issues of imports, the next huge problem was distribution. Our mantra from the inception has only been one – “Nothing but the best will do”. From 1995 Blue Dart Express and the post office have been serving us without a break. This relationship has never been taken lightly by any of the parties. We enjoy a fantastic rapport but nothing comes before performance and delivery.
As we grew, so did the competition. Many a multinational began operations in India to nibble away at our jobs. In the industry of journal delivery, the biggest loophole and opportunity for anyone that seeks quick money is easily available. The chances of passing over jobs for delivery to other agents and to lose track of the same is extremely high. Unlike all other deliveries, almost no customer gives you a job and a manifest, which puts the owners and the responsibility one hundred percent on you, either to fail or to succeed. No other competitor of AJW Express chose to succeed. The fact that none of them exist today is the only proof of this.
Managing associates in business – As business grows, so does its cynosure and this stems from people close to you and sometimes very close to you. Success, in fact even continuity had to be ensured by treating those who walked away with your trained staff, those who deliberately blocked your efforts, wrote against you, managed defections through unscrupulous methods within AJW, caused financial loses and many types of deprivations and destruction. It takes a man to conquer, and honesty, smart and assiduous diligence pays.
Process enabling proactive systems – Delivery on time for 60 million+ jobs, successfully maintaining almost every single customer for almost 27 years and a complaint rate of less than 10 a month, would qualify undoubtedly that is superlative or even par excellence. To achieve this service level, trained staff with 20 years+ experience, a custom designed application that tracks every piece shipment and captures data critical for the consignee like issue number, journal name, and even the ISBN code. The system delivers for the customer simply by capturing his name, the entire history of shipments received for him/her, it’s process and location data. Starting from the entry point of the entire consolidation, right up to its delivery information of a single journal, the priorities, steps and sequential process is so structured that the shipment is always available to be tracked and located.
Quality – The only way to effectively manage quality is to ensure 100% adherence to systems. There is no doubt in the fact that the delivery chain is a combination of both man and machine. When discretionary power is taken away from process managers, quality is delivered in its totality. At AJW Express, we have never swayed from this path.
History and our future – We do not rest on our laurels! There is no doubt in the fact that the above is nothing but history. We also say that we are enormously confident of the future. Our unmistakable conviction comes from the fact that we have swayed and will never sway from the righteous path. We will never renege on our commitment to adhere to the process to endure quality to keep our world and to fight every day for the things we value and believe in.
Nobody beats our service
A Rare opportunity!
As the weekend approached, we received an urgent automotive parts shipment weighing about 200 kg in four Cartons. Having no way of shipping this out of our Chennai office when Customs were closed, we decided that this shipment will have to wait till the following week.
However, these parts turned out to be a very urgent requirement in Germany for a very large manufacturer who was in a tool down situation. We found this out at midnight on Saturday evening when they were any number of calls being exchanged with our operations team. Finally, after the head of the German business unit in charge of Express business for our partner in Germany called and spoke to our Managing Director personally and told him that there was a desperate need for these cartons to reach Berlin, we decided we will do whatever we could do to ship out and leave no stone unturned.
The shipment was flown to Mumbai (BOM) at 6 AM and taken into customs by 1 PM for customs clearance on Sunday! Very Special arrangements were made for this as we had to convince Customs that this was an Emergency and the Customer was facing a Crisis situation. Customs Clearance was arranged and the Express Freight space located by 6 pm and the shipment was on Board an LH flight to Frankfurt at Midnight! At FRA our Partner had it Custom Cleared and delivered within hours!!
This was a rare job as our Partner is a Global Express business with many divisions in Air Freight Services, but it took us to be take the challenge of getting the Job done for them. The real reason why this was a job that we could handle was only because we specialize in any job that is tough and are happy to take on any challenging jobs. In addition, we work on handling any hurdle regardless of time of day or its complexity. We believe that a sincere effort will find support, sympathy and empathy as each of us do face it routinely all through life and this can be conveyed to get the desired results.
