Since 2000, Verizon has been one of the world’s leading technology, communications, information and entertainment companies, with annual revenues of over €100 billion and 230,000 staff in over 150 locations worldwide.
One of the New York-based company’s main hubs is its EMEA headquarters in Dublin, with over 400 staff at the head office in Eastpoint Business Park.
The challenge
As a cutting-edge tech company, Verizon has a commitment to making sure staff communication is up-to-date on all platforms. Our client needed a full company-wide refresh of staff mobile phones, and trusted Wheels We Deliver to take control of the project.
After buying the new batch of phones, Verizon needed each handset to be delivered over a five-day period across many locations in Ireland. In addition to handling delivery of the new devices, Wheels also repackaged each staff member’s old phone and delivered it back to Verizon’s head office in Dublin.
The solution
Wheels We Deliver provided a bespoke solution to a complex logistics undertaking — within an optimal timeframe and with minimal disruption to staff communication channels.
- Premium packaging and repackaging to protect new devices and preserve old devices in transit back to head office
- Developed clear logistics timeline and maintained a clear and constant communication channel
- Wheels sourced, pre-labelled and shipped the packaging with the outbound shipments so the receiver could simply return their old device
- Wheels team provided a coordinated collection service and monitored the return bookings through a dedicated email address for this project
