India’s transport sector is big and caters to the needs of 1.1 billion people, with road transportation being the most dominant mode. It carries almost 85% of the country’s passenger traffic and more than 60% of its freight. But, most of India’s roads are narrow and congested, with poor surface quality. Therefore, every person or company looking for important equipment cargo carriers deserves transporters who are knowledgeable, experienced, and responsible. When selecting a 3PL company for valuable cargo transportation, there are certain criteria you should consider:
- Service, Reliability and Timeliness: With good transportation comes good freight management. The best transportation provider of high-value goods can anticipate needs, demands, and costs, and respond well when things don’t go as planned. They take into consideration timely planned schedules based on the mode of transport and consider contingencies. Moreover, they are very clear and honest from the beginning with the client, keeping communication open. In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, we believe in being customer-centric, up-to-date with transportation guidelines, and clear regarding the partnership, project requirements, and costs from the very beginning.
- Area of Expertise and Knowledge: A client needs to either identify their specific cargo needs and find a company suitable for that, or if you don’t know what transport services your cargo requires, find a company that can guide you through the process. Either way, the strengths, weaknesses, and past track record of the transportation provider are essential to understand.
In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, their management has PAN India transportation expertise for over 35 years, and their ‘Safety and Environment Policy’ is proof of their capability in this sector. - Technology: Utilising the appropriate transport technology can not only drive down costs and delivery times but also optimize service. In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, we believe that careful transportation of goods is part of a well-planned supply chain, and therefore we rely on Air Cushion Suspension trailers over Leaf Spring Trailers. This way, we ensure we are in sync with ever-changing and developing technology, thus offering our clients the best service.
- Scalability: India transport, though large-scale, can encounter many hindrances. Therefore, the logistics company is required to be able to analyse and act upon unseen needs and scale the business and project even if on-route. In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, due to our many years of experience in the sector, we not only plan for contingencies beforehand but are prepared to handle any sudden changes to a project.
- Relationships: Building a long-term relationship with your logistic provider is as important as choosing the right one. This may also mean that you might be looking to shift to a new transport provider who believes in developing customer relations through above-and-beyond services provided. In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, we work towards building long-lasting client relationships by not only understanding our clients and their needs but also getting the job done on time, maintaining compliance, providing unparalleled service, adding value, and saving you money.
- License of the company: A licensed cargo company holds a license from a recognized governing authority, and this means that it agrees to stick to certain values and standards that are set up by the governing authority. In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, the parent company and the management are ISO certified, IBA approved, GST compliant, E-WAY bill compliant, and members of CIPS and CILT.
- Price: Though price is an important factor when budgeting, it shouldn’t be the only one. Considering the fact that when planning out an end-to-end transportation process, there are many factors, as stated above, that are important. In the case of Kargaindia Roadways Private Limited, we follow a transparent and honest pricing policy. We believe in giving you the best quote for the best quality work.
