Strong sales momentum has driven an increase in parts stock, ensuring uninterrupted supply, faster turnaround times and peace of mind for customers by keeping vehicles on the road and businesses operating without costly downtime, says DFSK South Africa.
Just one year after entering the South African market, DFSK South Africa continues its upward climb, now supported by a growing dealer network of more than 24 dealerships across Southern Africa and an expanding light commercial vehicle portfolio tailored for modern businesses.
To keep pace with this growth, DFSK South Africa has significantly expanded its parts warehouse at its Kempton Park head office, doubling stock levels to ensure faster turnaround times and improved nationwide parts availability.
“This investment is ultimately about one thing: keeping our customers on the road,” says Gina Giani, CEO of DFSK South Africa. “Whether it’s an individual relying on their vehicle every day or a business that simply cannot afford downtime, we’re committed to providing fast, reliable support that keeps people moving.”
“The upgraded system brings a modern, technology driven ordering and dispatch system, designed to speed up processing, improve accuracy and give dealers real time visibility, so vehicles spend less time in workshops and more time where they belong: out on the road,” she says.
“As we grow, we’re investing ahead of demand because affordability should never mean compromise,” Gina adds. “Our focus is on delivering the parts, service and peace of mind our customers need. Ensuring maximum uptime, long term value and true confidence in the DFSK brand.”
