Ranger Design: A Partnership That Makes Us Better – According to Leslie Scafidi

In today’s business landscape, the value of working with service providers who share your goals and values cannot be overstated. Leslie Scafidi, Vice President of American Automotive Aftermarket, one of New England’s top cargo van and work truck upfitters, understands this well. When she went looking for a new storage solutions partner, she had some specific attributes in mind.

Scafidi knew she wanted a partner with a proven track record of designing and manufacturing innovative, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing products and solutions. She found exactly that in Ranger Design. Family-owned like her own company, Ranger Design shares similar values, which was a crucial factor for Scafidi. Additionally, she wanted a partner that would stand behind their products, ensuring her customers could feel confident installing them. After interviewing several of the fleet’s top storage products manufacturers, she was introduced to Ranger Design. Scafidi knew right away she had found a partner that was “dialed into helping our firm succeed.” Today – nearly 18 years later – she still believes the partnership is making both companies better.

“The relationship we have with Ranger Design just feels so authentic,” said Scafidi, whose family business has been upfitting some of New England’s top fleets. “From day one, I felt like everyone at Ranger Design was dedicated to helping us be the best company we could be.”

While the relationship her team has built with Ranger Design “means a lot,” Scafidi said the number one reason she continues to work with the storage products and solution specialist is that Ranger Design’s products are simply better than other providers. Her customers particularly appreciate Ranger Design’s shelving systems and innovative products like the no-drill “E-floor,” which also keeps her workers safe during installation. “It feels like the products they offer are stronger, more durable, and fit together better than their competitors,” Scafidi said, adding that Ranger Design products are “just plain better looking than other storage solutions.” Most importantly, Scafidi says Ranger Design products provide a safe, quiet ride that her mobile tradespeople customers love.

“We actually have clients whose mobile techs argue over who gets to drive the vans upfitted with Ranger Design products and who’s left to drive vehicles upfitted with competitors’ products,” Scafidi says with a chuckle. “To us, that’s just proof that Ranger Design is doing things right. Once our customers install their products, they generally don’t want to use anything else!”

Beyond the positive feedback from her customers, Scafidi values the commitment Ranger Design shows towards her company’s success. If she ever has a question or concern, Ranger Design will send someone to meet with her and often invites her and her team to their headquarters for training or to develop best practices – a “step not many other partners take,” Scafidi said. “Their products and solutions are superior, their people are more engaged, and everyone at Ranger Design goes out of their way to make us a better company,” Scafidi said. “What more could we ask for in a partner?”
