Our solution
The client placed the order for the 70 empty Racks and associated hardware, all of which was delivered direct to our Aldershot warehouse.
Working to a demanding project schedule and armed with Rack-build and wiring diagrams Carry Gently staff set about building the Racks to the required specification. After that, the Racks were cabled and a basic hardware power test was carried out prior to handing over to customer engineers who worked on site to carry out data configuration work. From there, it was a simple case of moving the Racks into a Carry Gently specialist vehicle for delivery to the VUE locations.

Customer benefit
- The customer did not have sufficient space of their own which was solved by using our warehouse.
- The customer saved money by using Carry Gently staff to build the Racks rather than IT contractors.
- Customer engineers used the workshop areas in the warehouse, negating the need to transport the goods to the customer’s own site for configuration, prior to final delivery.
- Environmental issues were taken care of with Carry Gently arranging waste packaging recycling and disposal.
- The movement of equipment was kept to the bare minimum with one movement from the manufacturing plant to Carry Gently and then from Carry Gently direct to the end-user.
- A Project Manager provided one point of contact for all queries.
This was an excellent example of a customer keeping tight control of a project by minimising the vendors in the supply chain and making use of the add-on services we can provide. This was a sizeable project for our customer and we were pleased to assist by providing a one-stop-shop for all their specialist transport requirements.
