Our expectations from this Lot include: seamless provision of a range of hire equipment with clear accountability for SLAs, a single point of contact and ease of management, a live dashboard to provide a complete view of all hires, and making it easier to pull insights and identify efficiency opportunities, proactive and collaborative relationship focused on continuous improvement.
