Operational and Logistic Support
During these unusual times schools, colleges and universities are not functioning as ‘normal’ with major disruption to most areas. Many buildings are now closed to deliveries and the staff that would traditionally receipt and configure goods and services to meet the specific needs of an institution are now working from home.
Having recently moved into a new secure facility with increased warehousing and engineering capacity we have looked at ways we can support the operational and logistics requirements for schools, colleges or universities, providing a degree of normality to a specific area of your institution.

Warehousing & Onward Delivery
With 15,000 sqft of secure warehousing we can accept and hold deliveries on your behalf.
We can break down bulk deliveries and onward forward goods to multiple locations. Ideal if you need to get equipment out to teaching staff and students (e.g laptops and accessories).

- Information Capture – MAC address & serial number
- Software Builds
- Initial Boot – confirm remote profile installs
- Hardware Upgrades & Repairs
- Accessory bundling for onwards shipping
