VPD: Your partner in outdoor furniture transport with assembly

With a consumer market that is constantly evolving, influenced in part by webshops, shopping behavior is changing. It seems logical that you're looking for a outdoor furniture transport provider offering assembly that offers flexible solutions based on your customers' new shipping needs:

  • wide range of transport options: from a central depot to a store or directly to an end customer? VPD arranges it as a transporter for B2B and B2C;
  • return flow: a flexible exchange and return policy is a powerful commercial asset. That's why VPD picks up returned outdoor furniture (or exchanges them), labels the returned outdoor furniture in our hub, and sends everything back to you;
  • removal: we will also remove your old outdoor furniture if necessary upon delivery and assembly of your new outdoor furniture;
  • flexibility: your customer is also our king. That's why, at the start of the partnership, we tailor our services to your customers' needs and evolve with each change. We can deliver to any floor, with or without an external lift;
  • central point of contact: at VPD, you have one point of contact who oversees the satisfaction of your customers based on predefined KPIs such as NPS, on-time delivery, etc...
  • track & trace with feedback: you can follow step by step which actions have already been completed. We also keep the end customer constantly informed in the same way;
  • sustainability: VPD focuses on sustainability. Our network of hubs spread throughout Belgium acts as a catalyst to maximize the use of our electric vehicles for last mile deliveries;
  • cost savings: by not having to invest in transportation equipment yourself and paying per delivery, you save a lot on your costs;
  • storage: VPD can also store, monitor, and perfectly shield your goods;
  • sorting: we receive products in our storage facilities during day and night. This is where they are immediately sorted and prepared for shipment;
  • drivers and assemblers with technical knowledge: at VPD, all drivers and assemblers receive training from experienced colleagues at the VPD Academy. On the programme, among other things, are the assembly of outdoor furniture, safety, and operational flows.

ECOLOGICAL TRANSPORT

While the demand for goods transport continues to increase, the transport sector is subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards. As an innovator in the field, VPD attaches great importance to sustainable mobility.

 

STRATEGIC HUBS

This is why we are investing in a growing network of strategically located hubs. Depending on your customer's address, we first bring the outdoor furniture to the nearest hub, before deploying the last mile delivery from there. This is a catalyst for maximising the use of electric vehicles. Currently, you can find our hubs in Zellik, Liège, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Ghent, Antwerp and Ostend.

Crystal-clear delivery

Real-time traceability in our TMS system

On our TMS platform, you can find everything about delivery, with or without assembly. Here you can enter your orders directly so that they are scheduled, the most optimal routes are calculated, and the final delivery and/or assembly can be tracked in real-time. This way, you are aware of when your items will be delivered, and you can continue to sell your outdoor furniture worry-free.

TRACK & TRACE FOLLOW-UP

Your customers can also see when their ordered outdoor furniture will be delivered to their homes. Your customers are continuously informed via email and SMS, with a track & trace code that allows them to see and determine on which day and in which time frame their new garden furniture will be delivered and, if necessary, assembled. This way, your customer knows what to expect and when they should stay home, and you have more assurance that the delivery will be carried out on time.
