The Flotec Gates Crimper Objective:

To provide a more reliable value-added service provision and fit-for-purpose product offering compared to emergency mobile van hose replacement services.

Issues with mobile van service providers:

Mobile van hose replacement services will fit what they have in stock which is not always to the highest specification or suitable for all applications. Mobile van services are costly in terms of their call out charges and amount of time to attend site where Flotec recommends a self-assembly solution.

The Flotec Consignment Stock Management System:

Flotec has developed a consignment stock management system to help clients easily manage their inventory and stock holding.
