    VAELL unveils Sharing Economy to ease manufacturers’ inventory headaches

    Manufacturers are set to benefit from dry storage and warehouses to be unveiled countrywide by regional leasing firm, Vehicle and Equipment Leasing Limited (VAELL), in what pundits termed as a sharing economy. The model dubbed ‘space share’ will ease manufacturers’ logistics headaches since they don’t need to own warehouses and storage and therefore not incurring the cost of building and even renting the entire space that they are not using. Businesses will only be required to pay for the space they are using as they share the other space with others in trucks or in the warehouses. This will enhance the traditional warehouse market, from temporary trailers to Airbnb-style matchmakers that provides warehouse space and logistics together.

    Space Share is expected to revive the distribution model that has collapsed countrywide and revamp supply chain networks to embrace e-commerce expectations. The Naivasha based asset leasing firm’s new strategy to ease cost of storage for manufactures indicates a growing shift by companies in a bid to slice cost of doing business in these challenging economic times. The regional lessor becomes the first company in the region to come up with a space leasing scheme for manufacturers, suppliers and hauling companies. Such consumer’ oriented innovations for the mass market have made the firm bag various awards. The lessor was recently ranked by various award organizers as the preferred leasing firm in the region.

    According to VAELL Kenya’s MD, Bertha Mvati, the country has a cute shortage of warehouses and dry storage where manufacturers can store their goods as they wait for customers to buy. This has contributed to a low manufacturing due to fear of goods going bad.  

     “This invention is demand driven. We are responding to the market needs. Manufactures have been asking us if we can have this model in Kenya. We are happy that finally we have been able to come up with a product that suits their needs. It is being practiced in developed countries and we believe it will be a success here too,” added Bertha.

    With the dry storage and warehouses businesses can store their merchandises in strategic locations where supplies can be made proportion to the market demand. The warehouses will also act as distribution centers and hence enhancing service delivery and customer satisfaction.

    By providing enough space to store products closer to the consumers, space share will reduce trips made by manufactures’ daily from Nairobi, Mombasa, Thika, Nakuru and other industrial areas to make deliveries in the rural areas,” said Bertha Mvati, Vaell Managing Director for Kenya.

    VAELL ROLLS ZERO EARLY RETURN COST LEASE

    Regional leasing firm, Vehicle and Equipment Leasing Limited (VAELL), has launched Zero Early Return Cost lease program dubbed ‘Time Share’ to help businesses and individuals withstand fluctuating business environment. The lessor becomes the first firm to implement lease break program for SME’s and the broader market in the region and is expected to bring new development to the ordinary lease. The existing lease locks clients throughout the lease period without an exit plan. Many people feel the lease is cost-demanding because you have to pay for the asset even when not using it. The idle equipment turns to be a liability rather than an asset, lowering profit margins. In finance lease you cannot take a break while servicing a loan. When loanee fails to pay the banks the agreed amount they face the risk of their assets being repossessed.

    Individuals and institutions which only require assets services during peak seasons fear incurring losses while paying for the asset once the demand goes down. Hence, the new lease will gives them an opportunity to lease the asset at a time of demand and return to the lessor after the use.  This comes as a sigh of relief to businesses that are seasonal as the product allows clients to return assets until such a time a contract is renewed.  

    Bertha Mvati, lessor’s MD for Kenya said, “This will provide break options for our clients and is in compliance with the new IFRS rules. We have not attached legal demands when a client decides to take a break before the lease maturity. If your business is seasonal, why should we lock you in?”

     “This lease program is very flexible and allows clients to end their leases early without penalties. This offer may create substantial equity for our customers,” said Bertha Mvati.

    Time Share is designed for companies and individuals to free their leases from financial commitment should their personal circumstances change unexpectedly, for instance if their contract or tender is cancelled suddenly. It enables the lessee to hand the asset back, without the worry of funding the difference between the market value of the vehicle and the outstanding finance settlement amount. Life is full of changes. The chances are that some unforeseen event and challenges resulting in a change to financial situations may happen at some stage during the term of a lease agreement.

    “We understand fluctuating business environment and we would like to help our clients. With Time Share, customers get to match their machinery requirement with not only their long term needs but also their short term needs and pay absolutely zero rest lease fees,” she added.

    The company is placing vehicles worth more than Kes. 300 million into the program. This program will benefit lessor’s clients in various African countries including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Southern Africa Market.
