Knowing
where the customers are, what they want & how it can be supplied.
Frequently
a PCL team consisting of Sales, System and customer engineering
conducts a feasibility study and prepare detailed recommendations. The
group is familiar with the state of indigenous technology so that a
customer planning an optimum system is able to source maximum value
added equipment in the country. And PCL can help to secure the
clearances for arranging importation from selected suppliers, after
due consultation with product experts and manufacturing facilities of
suppliers worldwide. Our specialised expertise in the procedural aspects
of international financing and credits helps both the customer and overseas
supplier to minimize delays and defaults, while maximising the benefit
of the credit available.
The job
is not over by any means with the selection of the product. We assist
customers in completing ordering formalities with their banks and principals
and follows up on shipments with principals and provide feed back to
the users. The order processing activity is an expensive and highly
skilled process as technical engineering information and appropriate
documentation have to be co-ordinated between operating offices, the
Head Office and Principals as well as the ultimate customer in the field
and the Customers Ordering Authority. For this purpose, the Company
has a state-of-the-art communication network to handle frequent references
on technical matters with the manufacturing division supplying the product.
Other tasks have to be taken up thereafter, such as inspection, delivery
at site on schedule, partial supplies, warranty claims and compliance
with contractual term of payment.
The PCL
team are frequently at customer's site for in-field inspection as well
as installation and commissioning of equipment. The installation staff
are trained at manufacturer's factories and have the necessary tools
to maintain equipments. In the same spirit of perfect service our engineers
are frequently sent abroad for technology updates. PCL have a
professional full-fledged installation and customer support organisation
with requisite equipment and spares.
