It may sound strange but sometimes when a shoe repairer is looking to replace machinery he needs to consider what his business needs rather than consider simply what he can afford at that moment. Making machinery purchases based solely on a predetermined budget can lead to the acquisition of machinery insufficient to the company’s present and future needs. All the more unnecessary when good quality machinery leasing options are available.
Standard Engineering receives enquiries daily from new and established Multiservice suppliers looking to install or upgrade their finisher, stitchers, presses etc. Before simply quoting a newer version of what they are presently using the people at Standard try to take a deeper look at the requirements of the client’s business as a whole.
Replacing older machinery is the best time to look at the overall layout of your shop. Are you allocating too much room to slow moving lines? Do your advertising boards catch the eye of prospective customers? Does the shop best display the full range of services you offer? Do you need to free up space for your new engraving machine?
When Standard Engineering are asked to become involved they try to look at the customer’s business as a whole, and not simply sell them one of their latest machines (although if you twist their arm I’m sure they will oblige!)
Standard offer to visit customer’s shops and backed by their many decades of experience will offer suggestions regarding machinery and product placement. They can look at the ways the shop can be better presented to the public. Standard can also advise on colour schemes content in the knowledge that they can and often do supply machinery painted and stove dried for durability to match any colour scheme the customer may dream up.
Standard can also produce a scaled floorplan to give a better indication of the overall outlook of the finished installation along with a fully costed all-colour machinery quotation with leasing details if required. Whether you are looking at fully reconditioned machinery, where Standard offer the best in the UK, or new machinery, where they are the sole manufacturers in the UK it pays to speak to Standard Engineering, where offering a total solution is all part of the service.
