Smart Hands Warehouse holds your emergency supplies so they're already in Manchester when a job calls for them.
Your Smart Hands engineers — the ones who already know your sites — pull the stock and bring it on the visit. You're billed monthly for the space you actually use.

Same engineers, same trust — your kit just happens to already be with them.
The Smart Hands engineer on your Work Order picks up the items on the way. No couriers, no DPD ETAs.
Five Manchester sites with similar setups? Hold one shared set instead of five.
No self-storage contract, no 7am drives, no "who has the key?". We sign for everything.
Items are signed in with condition notes, held securely, and tracked end-to-end. We take responsibility for looking after them while they're in our custody.
Every check-in, reservation, and check-out — visible in the Smart Hands Portal and iOS app, with timestamps.
Reserve from the Portal. On the day, your engineer checks the items out of your Warehouse. Returned excess goes back into stock.
No minimums, no lock-in. A daily consumption-based model.
Storage
£1/m² · day
Charged per square metre of footprint, per day, in arrears. Items go in, items come out — you only pay for the days they're actually with us.
Standing charge
£1/day
A single flat daily charge on any day you hold stock. Zero stock days are free.
Worked example
One 42U rack (0.6 m²), four switches in boxes (0.6 m² total), and a spool of Cat6a (0.16 m²) sat with us for the whole of April: 1.36 m² × 30 days × £1 + 30 standing days × £1 = £70.80 / month. A fully auditable spare-parts warehousing solution, signed in and out by your Smart Hands engineers.
Rates are subject to change and negotiable — talk to us if you think you'll be a regular.
From kit-on-your-desk to engineer-on-site in four steps.
Drop off or ship in. We check it in with photos and condition notes.
Raise a Work Order and reserve what you'll need. Stock stays with us.
On visit day, your engineer pulls them from your Warehouse to site.
Two lines on your monthly invoice: daily standing charge and storage usage charge.
If every Manchester site keeps its own emergency switch, its own spare PSU, and its own loose ends, you're paying for inventory five times over — and still scrambling at 2am when the wrong site has the right part.
Hold one shared set with us. Engineers pull what's needed for whichever site went down. Same coverage, one-fifth the kit on the books.
One central pool
Smart Hands Warehouse
Every check-in, reservation, check-out and return — timestamped and visible in real time in the Smart Hands Portal and iOS app. No reconciliation spreadsheet. No "did we ever get that switch back?".
