UK-based OSS Ltd complete substantial turnkey project in the Middle East

February 24th, 2012

Office Storage Solutions (OSS) recently completed a large mobile shelving project for one of the world’s largest corporations, at their new, purpose-built offices in Kuwait. It involved installing three Mobile Storage systems, which together provide more than 1,200 linear metres of state-of-the-art mobile storage.

OSS Director Phil Jarvis commented: “We’re extremely proud to have won the contract against strong competition from local and other overseas suppliers. Competitive-pricing and our ability to provide a turnkey solution were paramount.”

“However, I believe that our proven track record of success for corporates here in the UK and in other EC countries was the deciding factor. When a client does business with OSS, they can be certain that their installation will be completed in an ultra-professional manner, on time and to the agreed budget.”

Delivering the goods

The components for the Kuwait installation were packed into containers in the UK and sent to Kuwait City by sea. OSS managed the shipment from start to finish, including the complex documentation and import declarations on arrival at the port.

Installing the solution

A team of experienced OSS fitters was flown out to install the systems. They completed the task within the agreed two-week window, which was quite an achievement when you consider the installation provides over 1,200 linear metres of storage.

Comprehensive after sales support

Unlike many of their competitors in this niche yet extremely competitive office storage market sector, OSS can provide a total solution. “Even though our high quality systems don’t require much in the way of maintenance, wear and tear is an inescapable fact of life,” continues Phil.

“In the UK and throughout the rest of Europe, our own service teams maintain client systems. In Kuwait, that was impractical. So we trained the client’s on-site team and saw to it that they had all the spares they would need for the foreseeable future.”

Five Reasons to Upgrade Your Storage & Filing Systems

October 4th, 2010

Is your office filing system in dire need of upgrading? If you’re responsible for information of a sensitive nature, can you guarantee its security? Is your company safe at risk of being targeted by thieves or through industrial espionage?

There are a number of reasons why you should consider a filing system upgrade and the same for your office storage. In the interest of security, Office Storage Solutions (OSS) can help you to choose the right equipment for your filing and storage facilities.

We have more than 20 years experience in the business of providing answers to storage and filing problems. You can trust our judgement and knowledge.

Those 5 important reasons why you may well need an office storage upgrade:

1. Easier Access: Perhaps your staff needs better access to retrieve and return files more easily. We have various shelving and storage systems that you can upgrade to: library, static or roller-racking shelving. All come with additional features. OSS can also provide mobile shelving and mobile storage systems with floor and track systems for even better accessibility.
 
2. Security: You can prevent serious security breaches with superior storage facilities from OSS. We offer a variety of highly secure safes that can store and protect laptops, data storage disks, company documents, and other sensitive information. Programmable electronic locks with personal 14-digit codes and fingerprint technology are vital security features.

3. Data Protection Act 1998: The Act clearly states that any organisation holding personal data must have appropriate security to protect the information. The protection covers accidental loss, destruction, damage, as well as unauthorised or unlawful use. 

You need to select the most secure storage facility to avoid breaching the Act. OSS can present you with different storage systems to choose from. For example, our vertical carousel filing system is an enclosed unit. It has security keypads for limited access and high security locks. It also comes with additional features of fire detection and protection.

4. Improved Efficiency: Less time can be wasted by staff searching for files that have been returned to the wrong place. Our filing systems have increased storage capacity (by more than 50 per cent) by simply using landscape orientated lever arch files. Files can be retrieved and returned even faster using alpha-numeric and colour coding of tabbed folders resulting in fewer files being mislaid.

5. Reduced Floor Space: OSS has the perfect solution if you have limited floor space to install an office filing system. Our mobile shelving units can reduce the take-up area by as much as 50 per cent. There’s an innovatively designed rotary storage unit with increased storage space of up to 400 per cent. The contents of 17 four-drawer filing cabinets can be stored within the unit. Now, isn’t that tempting?
