With everyone talking about the coronavirus and how us as individuals can keep safe, we thought it necessary to address the key areas in which we as international technology rental providers are concentrating on to mitigate any potential risk to our customers and staff.
One Unified System
Worldwide technology rental is a very tight logistical process with the storage, preparation, packing, delivery and return of hundreds of interactive devices a day. Any one hire could see a device transit through up to six different countries and It is important to ensure that this process is as safe as possible. NHS England have advised that it is “very unlikely [the virus] can be spread through things like packages or food” but it is the “very unlikely” part that we don’t like, which is why we have implemented additional standard operating procedures to ensure that we are mitigating any potential risk, however small. We also must take into consideration official guidance from our overseas territories for our international warehouses, meaning our approach must combine the best of all the facts into one unified system.
Our Updated Hygiene Guidelines
Some of these procedures include an allowance of more time for our technicians to sanitize inbound devices during the check in process, the procurement of a high alcohol glass cleaner to ensure device screens still arrive spotlessly clean as well as an improved warehouse workflow to allow for a more robust device handling regime, significantly reducing the contact points for devices whilst they are on site, finishing with a final sanitize immediately before packing.
Sanitization Kits for our Rentals
A large draw of some of our most popular devices is the collaboration and shared working environments they support. Our Giant touchscreens are placed in many different types of environment such as exhibitions, product launches and gala’s and this poses a unique but not impossible challenge of keeping end-users safe. By including a simple sanitizer and disposable wipes we inherently support a cleaner environment, encouraging a safer, cleaner environment.
