In a time where everybody in the supply chain have get used to just-in-time delivery - and everybody have a strong focus on warehouse optimization - the once very popular assortments are facing difficult times. It is therefore very relevant to ask oneself whether it makes sense at all to introduce assortments anymore?
For the above reason, we at Triscan are always careful to throw ourselves into the development of new assortments. However, a spare parts wholesaler and Triscan customer in France convinced us that there is a market for a gas spring assortment targeted at popular car models, where the replacement is easy and therefore often carried out as a do-it-yourself project by the car owner. Barely six months later, we find that the customer was right.
The range that has been developed consists of two parts. A display with 10 sets of gas springs – that is, 20 gas springs in total – and a table display, which in the French version is aimed at the car owner. The reason why the gas springs are presented as sets is, of course, because they need to be replaced in pairs. Instructions of how to replace at gas spring is for the ease of use for the car owner printed on the packaging.
Since its introduction in France, we have also developed market-adapted programs of top 10 gas springs for other of our customers. If you also think that there could be a demand for a similar set up in your market - you are welcome to contact your Triscan contact - or write an email to auto@triscan.dk - for a dialogue about whether it could be relevant.
