As customers we must have the complete knowledge about the company in which we are placing so much of confidence and trust. We must know how they work, what kind of history they have, what awards they have received and if they are going to take the responsibilty of our goods.

Agarwal Packers & Movers Ltd- FOV Consignments

As customers we generally donot pay much attention towards the back end work that the companies do to provide their services to us. Reaching customers in an effective manner is never an easy task for any company. It is essential for them to move in a step by step manner so that the people gain confidence and in the process the company is able to gain a significant market share.

Marketing has always been the backbone of every company. To make a position in the market, a company needs to have a strong marketing team. Simply selling a product is no more a funda in today's market. Marketing the product, promoting it, increasing awareness, giving samples, etc. to gain the trust of the customers has become more important.

In a logistics company, there is a huge need of strong marketing activity. Every individual has the need to shift at some point of time because of the nature of the job now-a-days. Moreover, moving of cargo is also an integral part of the functioning of every organization.
Now when movement has become such an essential part the companies must realize that competition is also increasing day-by-day.

Some companies have been able to push through this competitive environment and have been able to make a name of their own. One such company is Agarwal Packers & Movers Ltd.
The company very well realizes its strengths and weaknesses and hence it has been able to keep itself ahead of its other competitors. It has been able to maintain its USP and the position in the market just because it understands that "nothing is constant except change".

Agarwal Packers & Movers Ltd. works under FOV (Carrier Risk) guideline. The company believes that once the customers give the charge of their goods to the company, it is the company's duty to reimburse the damage that might happen in the process of movement. It is the company's liability to make sure that the goods that are being moved are insured before-hand. FOV means that all the charges incurred would be on the "Freight on Value" basis and "All Risk By Carrier" is the main focus. Another important aspect is that none of the carriers are allowed to make any wrong committments when it comes to FOV.

The company follows another rule very strongly, that the customer is not suppose to get any kind of money receipt or policy for the covering charges that the company pays in case of any damage of loss. Once the FOV is done the value of every item must be encoded, in consultation with the other party.
