Global Business Awards 2020

Whilst the world may have ground to a halt in 2020 due to the widespread nature of COVID-19, automotive logistics have remained a pillar of what was left behind that was forced to keep moving. Keeping everything going through outstanding logistics and transportation package services is an absolute necessity, with INCON-Logistic always being there for its clients. To find out more about the firm and its excellence in automotive logistics, we profiled its work in one of the hardest years for businesses everywhere. Best Automotive Logistics Company 2020 - Central Europe Since its establishment, the core focus on INCON has been to elaborate and provide overall logistics and transportation package services to customers, through which it can assure that they can focus on their own activities knowing that all relevant duties and responsibilities are taken care of. Serving many customers from the automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, ad food and beverage industries, this Hungary-based business has its sights set on taking its excellence everywhere in the world. The core value of the company, which has not changed over the years since being founded, is all about maintaining the satisfaction of the customers, employees, and owners to an impeccably high standard. Perhaps the excellence of the business can be best summed up by the firm’s own motto: “On the ground, afloat or in the air, INCON is always there, just in time!”. There are a great many logistics and transportation companies working across Europe, delivering goods to many countries far and wide, so what makes INCON the best of the best? Firstly, it has a proven track record of successful operation that stretches back sixteen years, and covers much of the globe. Characterised by flexibility, accuracy, and precision, INCON also embodies what it means to work with industrial professionalism and multilingual knowledge of six different languages. Both on the level of the company’s operation and the personal level of the workforce, there is a thirst and desire for lifelong learning and continuous improvement which add to the sense of client-centricity that can be felt at every stage of INCON’s operation. All of these advantages, and so many more, perfectly describe the unique selling points that INCON has to offer against other firms. On top of this, the firm also understands the trends that impact the industry today, and work to understand them better for the client’s sake. COVID-19 has had a massive impact on the industry, especially when a country’s state or situation may change on a daily basis. It has become near-impossible to predict whether or not a country will be open for business. The other impact of the pandemic period is the changing purchasing patterns of the customers. All of these have accelerated the restructuring processes of the various industries and markets. Some of the industries slowed down, including tourism and automotive, whilst others have multiplied exponentially, including food and pharmaceuticals. For INCON, these trends and situations mean a great many changes. The firm is working on alternative routes to ensure an unbroken flow of delivery to those who need it most. A key example of this can be seen through the firm’s presence in Italy and the surrounding nations. Drivers coming back to Hungary from Italy are obliged to undertake a two-week quarantine period. In order to avoid this, INCON made the decision to re-route all the goods from Italy to Austria, before reloading them into the warehouse and sending them on to Hungary, thereby ensuring the unbroken flow of goods between Italy and Jul20525 Hungary. INCON has been working closely with its strategic partners in Austria since 2009, and has always been able to come up with creative solutions to global problems. Internally, the culture at INCON is just as exceptional as its outward- facing service. The governing company culture of the firm is driven by values of empowerment, transparency, and teamwork. Newcomers are always made to go through an onboarding and orientation program to acclimatise them to working in such a driven and focused industry, whilst there are also education planning, career planning, and motivation systems in place for those who are already employed. These planning programs aim to consider the individual and personal needs of the workforce in order to constantly improve the working capabilities of everyone at INCON and maintain a high level of satisfaction across the board. Looking to the future, INCON is confident in its future success which can be materialized in a dynamic turnover, market share, and profit increase. Why exactly is the firm so confident? Having proved its excellence over an almost two-decade operation, history on INCON’s side. It has a three year rolling written and companywide accepted strategy and vision, and the near two decades of service have seen the firm continually improve its service portfolio whilst acquiring many new customers. The firm has increase its turnover and profit figures significantly year on year, and this has fed back into the firm’s desire to continually improve its internal operations, business processes, and company culture. As for the near future, the most important forthcoming steps for INCON include further strengthening of its brand-building activities, as well as reinforcing the export activities by having a bigger proportion of export turnover. INCON also hopes to multiply the yearly turnover of Japanese companies by having new Japanese customers, and then introduce freight management services to the Hungarian market first, then penetrate into foreign markets. From there, the future looks set to hold the introduction and positioned of INCON as a precision forwarding expert, and logistics consultancy leader. Ultimately, there are a multitude of reasons why clients should want to work with INCON as a precision forwarding expert. It could be the decreased logistics costs, the exceptional levels of predictability, the shorter delivery times, the improved efficiency, the outstanding transparency, or the shrinking logistics risks. Whatever the reason may be, INCON is the perfect partner for logistics and transportation services packages, and is fully deserving of every recognition during this understandably difficult time for all.
