Zero Downtime. We're Up For It.
Ensure commercial control of your project and reduce downtime when it comes to distributing and tracking tools on smaller shutdowns and construction projects.
Our Automated Stores Hub combines cutting edge technology to remove the need for staffing that is typically required to facilitate distribution of specialised tools, equipment and industrial supplies. Ideal for smaller rolling shutdowns, turnarounds and outages, where you need tools and equipment located closer to the worksite. The Automated Stores Hub is a low cost, low security option where trusted teams understand the importance of having fast, agile access to the right tools and equipment.
SECURITY OF SUPPLY
By understanding your consumables and industrial supply usage SFI are able to ensure security of supply, even in often remote locations. The unique Monitor software incorporated into the Automated Stores Hub has the ability to forecast and predict consumable usage and tools usage, giving you peace-of-mind.
COMMERCIAL CONTROL
SFI’s Monitor: Logistics Management System ensures commercial control of your project by providing tool usage reports and budget reports in real-time. Supervisors have the ability to access detailed reports at the click of a button to ensure your budgets are maintained and all transactions are transparent and traceable.
Safety COMPLIANCE
Safety is always our highest priority. The cutting-edge reporting included with the Automated Stores Hub provides real-time reporting on test and tag compliance, tool and equipment tracking and overall inventory management. By putting compliance first, only safe, reliable tools can be used onsite.
