Although “The Cube” may sound uncannily like a European underground dub step band, it is infact the close relative of Recall the stressed little truck.

Previously the Cube had a nice life quietly sitting in the IRIA office whilst the stressed little truck went on grand adventures with owner/ inspector Steve. Recently however, the cube went for a extensive tour of the UK, seeing the sites and experiencing the culture.

Cube saw many a castle, ate a bit of black pudding and way too much chips with curry sauce, and even saw the odd druid circle or two and is now recouperating back in its comfy little niche back in the IRIA office.

Word has it that the Cube prefers the quite life and will leave the adventures up to the stressed little truck in the future!

One of the advantages in using an independent service, is that the independent advice you get is better on your companies bottom line.

A common scenario – your company has, over time, accumulated a number of damaged areas to your racking over your many national stores. You search for a solution, you look for someone to assess and repair it and have it out of your hair as quickly and painlessley as possible.

That solution, in many instances, falls almost by default to the racking manufacturer, the brand name on your rack makes the decision for you. However, the very same racking manufacturer that is assessing for you what needs to be fixed, is also calculating the price tag for it. Easy, Yes, Efficient? No.

Think about this real world example where Independent Racking Inspections & Audits saves you a bundle.
A company has, overtime, accumulated a number of damaged areas to their racking over multiple national sites. They search for a solution, they look for someone to assess it and repair it and have it out of their hair as quickly and painlessley as possible.

They look at the options, and make the wise choice of seperating this process – an Independent Racking Inspection Service, who’s report can be directly and easily actioned by the racking manufacturer.

Their reason for doing this – to get an expert report and to ensure that the manufacturer is not inflating their repair requirements.

The result to this real world customer? A saving of over 250k in the first year. The process? Just as painless and easy.
