Services
Asset Recovery
Our transit asset recovery service locates and retrieves lost, stolen, or misplaced roll cages, plastic trays, and magnums across supply chains. Using licensed drone technology and experienced investigators, we recover assets from third-party locations while protecting client reputations. This service reduces replacement costs and environmental impact by extending asset lifecycles through responsible recovery practices.
Supply Chain Audit
Our independent audit service identifies hidden or stockpiled assets within your supply chain network. Trained auditors and drone-assisted surveys provide accurate counts of misplaced equipment at distribution centres, retail locations, and supplier facilities. This service enables informed decision-making about asset management while uncovering valuable resources that would otherwise remain unused in the supply chain.
Equipment Rental
Our rental solution provides temporary roll cages and magnums for peak demand periods without capital expenditure. The unique recovery system automatically de-hires lost equipment when recovered, eliminating penalty charges. This flexible approach maintains operational capacity during seasonal peaks while maintaining cost control through our sister company Roll Cage Rental.
Clearance Services
We offer free clearance of unwanted roll cages and plastic trays from client premises, including competitor-owned or unbranded equipment. Our ecologically responsible disposal service prevents waste through reuse and recycling, aligning with circular economy principles. This solution eliminates disposal costs while ensuring environmentally sound management of surplus transit assets.
Drone Surveillance
As licensed drone operators, we employ aerial surveillance technology to enhance asset tracking and recovery operations. This advanced capability improves location accuracy for misplaced equipment and supports audit processes across large facilities. The technology enables efficient monitoring of asset distribution patterns to prevent future losses through data-driven insights.
