Value Added Services
Tangible, measurable savings
Our range of value-added services is designed to offer hard and measurable cost, time or energy savings.
These projects are provided as end-to-end services, executed from start to finish by our technical team, with support where required, from our manufacturing supply partners.
Findings and results can be blue printed across additional areas of your business to drive further savings, or used to shape the supply of industrial components or consumables in a way that results in OPEX savings.

Uptime surveys
Combining a range of our value added services, these surveys take a whole-facility approach to improving uptime. Our recommendations cover all aspects of operation, maintenance and energy usage, and can be tailored to meet specific objectives or to align with your sustainability agenda.
OEM conversion and supplier reduction
Through a process of identification and reverse engineering, we are able to identify de-badged or white-labelled components in equipment and machinery. This allows us to provide fit-for-purpose, alternative components that are more cost effective than the ones provided by the OEM.
Technical training
Working with our manufacturing supply partners, we upskill engineering teams to improve their installation, maintenance and operational techniques. Correct training can lead to reduced downtime, longer mean time between failures and more efficient operational performance.
Specification upgrades
Using our broad product portfolio, we are able to identify areas of improvement throughout your facility, and recommend specification upgrades that will directly result in cost or energy savings, better operational performance and less downtime.
Critical spares survey
Surveying your facility allows us to identify all critical spares. Understanding which components are required in stock at all times, enables us to shape your inventory in a way that prevents downtime and maintains purchasing compliance.
OUR PROCESS
1) Needs assessment
Meet with our in-house specialists to discuss the needs of your team and the space you have available for your workshop.
