4 demands you should make on the efficiency of your high-security warehouse
1. does your high-security warehouse ensure maximum efficiency in order processing?
Your order is at the heart of your business relationship with a high-security storage service provider. You rightly expect this to be handled quickly, simply, flexibly and in a personalized manner. After all, you have wishes and requirements for the high-security storage of your assets that are as individual as your assets themselves. At Helveticor, clear and transparent processes with a high degree of technology within the teams ensure that your orders are handled in an economically sensible manner and exactly according to your specifications. And that you are kept informed about the status of your assets at all times.
From the field: "No customs effort too much"
Customs clearance is considered an efficiency guzzler in every respect. To ensure that this does not apply to your assets, we operate open customs warehouses (OZL) in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Here we offer you all the options for the storage of white metals and take care of all the small print of customs formalities for you.
2. do you have reliable contact persons for your high-security storage facility?
Reliability is a term with emotional connotations. But in the service sector such as high-security storage, it can be backed up with hard facts: availability, friendliness, adherence to deadlines, solution orientation, experience. You should expect all of this from your high-security storage provider. That’s why we make sure that you meet staff on the phone, at the other end of the internet connection or at our storage locations who are happy to take care of your concerns. After all, we consider reliability to be one of the most important performance factors of all, and we charge for it.
3. is the staff in your high-security warehouse competent and do they receive regular training?
Storing gold bars or precious stones is a lot more demanding than storing white metals. How to run a high-security storage facility professionally needs to be learned. The level of expertise you will find in a high-security warehouse is best measured by the staff. After all, the buildings of a high-security hub may be technologically well equipped: If the people who work there have no idea about this business, the security there is only worth half as much.
With this in mind, we continuously train and develop our employees. We invest a double-digit percentage of our turnover in the training and development of our staff. This ensures that your contact persons have the necessary knowledge to answer your questions competently and offer you the solutions you expect from a first-class provider of high-security storage.
4. are your assets technologically automated and regularly reconciled?
Numbers speak volumes. For example, you need to know at all times how many assets of what value are stored in your high-security warehouse. What’s more, you need to be certain at all times that what is supposedly stored in the warehouse is actually there. This is exactly what we guarantee with a regular and automated reconciliation of your assets.
