Deployment Management...

PPS currently have access to almost unlimited square-footage of warehousing space at its 3rd party storage facilities in Croydon that meet our stringent security requirements - this can be used for all manner of storage requirements, including but not limited to overflow storage (normally of legacy equipment on long-term storage contract), configuration and customisation, and temporary storage during office moves.

Clearly, whilst your equipment is in our care, we want to give you confidence that we have adequate security measures and insurance cover in place.

The storage facility operates a swipe-card access system across the site, maintaining an audit trail of who has been where, and when. In addition, the entire site is remotely monitored from the control centre. All key areas of the site, both internally and externally, are constantly monitored and all storage rooms and individually alarmed and monitored.

PPS take responsibility for your equipment from signed acceptance at goods-in through to sign-off on the day of installation and equipment is normally insured for its full replacement value throughout. We will ask you to declare the value of each equipment type and we will then report the insurable value of equipment being held for your project to our insurers on a regular basis.

Not only have we taken stringent measures to protect the physical security of your equipment, but we will also ensure the total ring fencing of your solution. It is normal for us to deliver solutions for several large clients simultaneously, and in many cases these companies may be in competition. We can assure you we appreciate the need to ensure the integrity of your intellectual capital. To this end we can offer private development areas on site, where your technical staff can work with us on solution development and piloting.

The entire process of moving equipment from the warehouse at day one and eventually out to the end-user site, is managed by the Project Manager. We can report regularly, electronically, what equipment we are holding, and what equipment has been despatched and installed, by site, serial number and end-user name.
