Worried About Outsourcing Your MRO Stores Management?

We understand that switching from in-house stores management to outsourcing can feel daunting, with concerns about potential risks and disruptions.

But at ERIKS, we've streamlined the process to make it simple, painless and stress-free. Our extensive resources, industry expertise, and proven infrastructure ensure a smooth transition, resolving any issues swiftly to keep your operations running without any issues.

Adhering to safety standards is critical. Both ERIKS and the customer must align on these standards to eliminate significant risks and ensure a safe environment for all. And procurement departments love the idea of outsourcing MRO management as it frees them from sourcing and provides opportunities for cost savings. Engineers just want the right parts at the right time, and production teams worry about keeping uptime high.

We take time to understand the specific needs of each site, conducting risk assessments and implementing solutions to prevent issues. ERIKS always ensures contingency plans are in place to handle any technological challenges. Another common fear is system integration. Many manufacturers operate with outdated, non-digitized systems—and the engineers on-site often have decades of experience, but not necessarily digital literacy. The transition can be tricky, but ERIKS excels at bridging the gap between the old ways and new systems.

We reassess the customer’s stock and current positioning, conducting a full stock take before the go-live date, wherever possible. Our goal is to elevate stock management to a professional, efficient standard with minimal disruption during the transition.

Typically, around 80% of your staff transfer to ERIKS under the TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) process. While this might sound like an HR headache, it’s something ERIKS has been doing for over 20 years.  With such experience, it ensures a smooth transition for both employees and customers. Our expertise in this area reduces any risk, making the transition process easier, smoother and more efficient.
