Service Framework Agreements

Working in partnership

Pointer has a strategic objective of forming long-term relationships with both our Customers and our Suppliers.  Pointer's preferred route to achieve this is through Partnership and Framework Agreements.

As an organisation, we pride ourselves in our success in developing and maintaining Partnership opportunities and defining Framework agreements specific to the needs of our customers.

This allows us to work together to facilitate a long term business relationship based upon openness, trust, honesty and co-operation, which delivers sustainable mutual benefits of improved quality of customer service, identification and implementation of innovative business solutions, cost control and acceptable profit.

All of these qualities are measurable and therefore can be areas for targeted improvement.

Key Performance Indicators

When we take on a large-scale new service and maintenance contract, we would agree with the customer specific KPIs.

Reporting would be by spreadsheet or automated report.  Pointer holds Partnership agreements with several key accounts, working as a partnership allows the relationship to be managed in both directions.

Pointer has developed an internal structure to support the delivery of Partnership and Framework agreements with extensive experience in the successful delivery, maintenance and development of projects within the fields of CCTV, ANPR, Access Control, Intruder Alarm Systems and Fire Detection & Alarm Systems.

We have in place proven:

Project Management Team

Engineering Resource

Service Management system

*  Business Excellence Approach

*  IT backup

Learning and Development team

Personnel Support

Supplier Partnerships specific to projects


Formal agreement with the customer would incorporate some or all of the following:

*  Short, Medium and Long term objectives

Preventative maintenance performance measurements

Emergency repair performance measurements

*  Financial criteria

*  Technical performance review

Training

*  Scheduled review meetings


Continual review is fundamental in such a relationship and regular review meetings are proposed in order to discuss both performance against mutually agreed criteria and identify areas for improvement.

These measures and commitment from all parties ensures that continual technical excellence and cost effectiveness are integral within the relationship.
