What to look for in an outsourced graphics installation company
When you are a printer in a highly competitive marketplace, you need to outsource essential tasks to companies you can trust. It is no good creating the best design and product only for your hard work to be destroyed in the last mile. If you are looking for a new contractor, someone to undertake your graphics installation work, you need to be scrupulous in your search.
Here we offer you some guidance on the signs that you have found the right graphics installation company. We explore the qualities of the team that will deliver the best results for your important clients.
#1
Technical Expertise
First, and likely most importantly, your new contractor needs the technical expertise to undertake the task you define. Can the graphics installation company deal with glass partition graphics, sign installation, architectural graphics installation, wall covers, exterior window installs and more? Does the company you hire offer the talent to provide professional POS distribution across the country?
Whatever your sector, whether it is outdoor media, cinema, retail, sports and recreation, hospitality and catering providers and much more, your choice of contractor can provide the technical know-how to support your needs. When you ask ‘are your professionals experienced and fully certified,’ the answer should be yes.
#2
Confidence in Project Management
There is more technical skill to graphic installation than just that which is done onsite. Your graphics installation company should have the expertise to manage your project from surveying, planning, through to execution and beyond to maintenance. Most of your clients will have complex requirements. Your contractor should be skilled in surveying, mapping out the dependencies and interdependencies of a job, managing any issues of regulation, including form filling and insurances. After installation, they should offer follow-ups and provide a completion report with images to help you see that the work has been completed to the highest possible standards.
In short, when you search for your perfect graphics installation contractor, you want to be sure that they have the appropriate systems and policies in place to take your project from start to finish most efficiently and effectively.
#3
The right stuff
Finally, there are those qualities and softer skills that are more intangible than others but seemingly much more valuable. You need a contractor who values their reputation and does all they can to sustain the highest regard from those they work with. Consequently, this company will go out of their way to be reliable and responsive. You want to know that when you pass a project on to your contractor that they will deliver on time and with immaculate attention to detail.
How will you know the contractor has the “right stuff” before you work with them? Well, they will be keen to point you to past customers, who will be eager to offer positive testimonials to the excellent work done. As you listen to your new contractor speak, you will hear words like deadlines, prompt, high quality, going the extra mile, and the like. Then, they will back these words up with actions, such as the quick return of a quotation and follow-up after your phone call.
