Four advantages of agnostic solution design

The Invar Group prides itself on its agnostic approach.

What does that mean in practice?

It means that when we speak to our clients, examine their situation, and recommend a specific technological solution, you can be confident that our recommendations are based on one thing and one thing only - he best interests of our clients.

When we recommend warehouse automation technology, we’re not doing it because we get a special deal working with a particular provider, or because of any strategic partnership with a particular manufacturer, or because we know best how to solve using only one specific tool set. The Invar Group is agnostic. Which means we make our choices based on what your business needs most.

Naturally, this comes with a lot of big advantages.

Here are four important examples:

One – you get an honest needs assessment

If you’re an ecommerce business and you’re just starting out but want to automate quickly, any AMR provider will happily regale you with tales of AMR flexibility, efficiency, accuracy, and all the other advantages they can offer. But only the Invar Group will look at your situation, study your business set up, and tell you straight up and honestly that now may not be the right time for an AMR solution for you. With the Invar Group, you get an honest appraisal of your business’s position, and what kind of robotics, software, or equipment would be most effective. Not a vested interest sales pitch. A real overview of what you need.

Two – you get the maximum possible options

You might have a vague idea of what you need. You might think you know about how a certain type of robot/conveyor/logistics arrangement would work well in your warehouse. You’ve researched. You’ve investigated. You’ve studied. But it's still important to liaise with a warehousing and intralogistics expert. This means you get the chance to be introduced to technologies and options you may have never considered. Pick piece technology might not yet be ready for the supermarket, but it could help your small industrial components facility – but you may not have considered it until you speak with Invar.

Three – you get real upgrade potential

When working with an independent provider like Invar, we aren’t invested in keeping you within one technological ecosystem or manufacturer silo. If further down the line, we see that an apt time for an upgrade or refresh is nearby, and a different manufacturer has produced a system that better suits your needs, you can be guaranteed an unbiased appraisal of upgrade potential. We won’t limit you because of what you have bought before. We advise you on the basis of what you need and when you need it to best future proof your operations.

Four – you get the best maintenance experience

A provider who only works with the items they manufacture themselves doesn’t have the range of experience of our Invar experts. Our technicians and engineers know how all kinds of software, equipment, systems, products, and manufacturer ranges can interact and operate. Problems that others might not be able to solve due to their limited perspective become much easier to understand when your workforce has a broader picture. The Invar Group knows how to deliver you the best solution in any setup you can think of.
