SubscribeAir Menzies International (AMI) offers some ideas as to why the Aviation Industry needs a wholesaler.
Streamlining a business in order to make it run as efficiently and effectively as possible is the ideal solution within the majority of industries, however, not always a possibility. Within the aviation industry, however, the world's largest trade-only airfreight consolidator, Air Menzies International (AMI) acts as an industry wholesaler, offering a multiple service tariff to a global distribution network covering 900 destinations worldwide. The need for this kind of wholesaler is vast in many ways...
One trusted and reliable supplier
It is always quicker and easier when everything is in one simple place and conveniently accessible. It is for this reason that an industry wholesaler, such as AMI, is a popular resource offering one port of call for any requirement big or small. This saves time and resources searching through suppliers and worrying whether they will be reliable and trustworthy enough to do the job. An industry wholesaler has trusted suppliers as well as a complete understanding of what each one can do for the customer in the best possible way.
This is also applicable when handing overseas agents, which can be time consuming finding a reputable and reliable company, not to mention very expensive if the wrong decision is made. An industry wholesaler can handle all charges and ensure overseas agents work with them in order to work well for the customer.
In terms of securing capacity, it may be difficult to secure the exact space at the precise time required, especially during peak season when trying to liaise independently. As a wholesaler, AMI boasts an extensive range of consol destinations and schedules based on good carriers with pre-booked capacity on key days, even during peak season. It is industry knowledge and well-made contacts that ensure a wholesaler like AMI secures what its customers want.
A cost effective solution
As an industry wholesaler, AMI leads online consolidation with proven web technology that takes millions of pounds of bookings. It is this, coupled with the buying power of its customers, that works towards achieving some of the best rates in the industry. Buying power leads to great negotiation opportunities, therefore, saving customers money they would have otherwise been required to spend had they gone direct.
Costs are also saved throughout the process with one supplier meaning one account to manage, less administration and one bill to pay. One wholesaler also means just one warehouse delivery to make, saving immediately on transport costs.
Building a relationship with just one supplier ensures that they understand your requirements carefully and can base decisions on past experience and previous requests. Wholesaler sales representatives know your business and can therefore recognise your combined spend with pricing differentials that can work across all your traffic. This allows you to make similar simplified offers to your own customer base.
Easy to talk to and easy to work with
With one contact, an industry wholesaler can be a trusted port of call. AMI, for example, offers information and advice over the phone, in the tariffs and on the website that help customers and provide a cargo bookings system on its website known in the industry for its ease of use.
If it's time saving you're looking for then an industry wholesaler ticks all the boxes. With AMI, for example, customers can save time by booking a number of shipments quickly and easily in a standardised and efficient way. With one assigned customer contact and a streamlined operations process, bookings with AMI are confirmed immediately through a booking confirmation system that faxes or e-mails flight details and costs instantly after a booking is made. This hugely reduces invoice disputes. Track and trace is simple too with it all carried out through an auto e-mail postflight system.
It is the need for a simplified and faultless working environment coupled with a need for an incredibly high efficiency level within the industry that makes choosing an industry wholesaler the sensible choice.
