The company’s operational ethos is deeply entrenched in a customercentric approach, ensuring an end-to-end solution to material handling needs. It is dedicated to providing a consultative, responsive, and adaptable business relationship, ultimately delivering fully bespoke solutions that precisely match each customer’s unique requirements. The journey to tailored solutions with Robur comprises twelve distinct stages, each meticulously designed to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction. A further customer enquiry marks the initiation of the engagement, accompanied by an explicit agreement on the rules of engagement. Robur engages in detailed discussions with the customer regarding specifications, requirements, and objectives, creating a draft outline. A comprehensive site survey is conducted to validate the application, understand the environment, and assess operational processes. Within three working days, a detailed quotation is produced, which is carefully tailored to the customer’s unique needs. For more complex solutions, additional time may be required. The proposed solution undergoes a thorough review with the customer, incorporating their feedback and making necessary adjustments. Robur diligently makes amendments to solutions and quotations as necessary, ensuring a perfect fit for the customer’s requirements. The customer’s approval of the quotation and site survey marks the readiness to proceed to the manufacturing stage. The final order is processed, and the estimated delivery date is confirmed, ensuring clarity and timeliness. Throughout the manufacturing process, regular build updates are provided to the customer, maintaining transparency and assurance. A thorough Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is conducted to guarantee the quality and functionality of the equipment before delivery or collection. Delivery or collection arrangements are meticulously finalised, ensuring optimal convenience for the customer. A follow-up with the customer is conducted post-delivery to ensure satisfaction and address additional needs, underlining Robur’s promise to customer care. In tandem with this dedication to customer satisfaction, Robur extends parts and labour warranties on all its machines for the initial 12 months or the first 1,000 hours, whichever comes first. The company maintains an impressive inventory, ensuring that over 90% of parts are available for next-day delivery from its UK parts centre. While ongoing support is readily available, most customers prefer integrating it into their fleet arrangements via their existing providers, underscoring Robur’s assurance of flexibility and exceeding customer expectations. Ultimately, Robur’s journey over four decades has been characterised by a steadfast pledge to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Its ability to tailor solutions, coupled with a structured and meticulous approach, has made it a trusted partner in the realm of material handling solutions, across the UK. It is no surprise to see that the company still has big plans for the rest of 2023 and further afield. We look forward to seeing the company continue to succeed in the future!
