Selco was originally formed as Sewell & Co (Timber) Ltd in 1895. From a small, family owned business in Birmingham, the company has now become a fast growing, highly competitive, and highly respected trade only builders' merchant with branches spanning four regions in England and Wales, with plans for further growth.
As part of their critical business expansion and investment plans, Selco recognised the importance of Power Protection for both their retail and IT administration functions. Downtime in busy retail stores caused financial loses and disruption to their customers shopping experience. Keeping EPOS systems operating was paramount to Selco’s retail operation. Secondly, loss of power to important back office IT systems disrupted operational efficiencies and affected the ability for Selco staff to perform to their high standards.
Selco recognised that they required a Power Protection expert to provide a full turnkey solution to solve the power issues they were experiencing.
Adept Power Solutions demonstrated the expertise and experience Selco required and worked closely with the IT & Infrastructure departments of Selco to help understand the key issues they faced. Once an extensive free consultancy period was completed, APS recommended a cost effective multi-site Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) solution, ensuring we met both the operational & financial expectations of Selco.
The high quality Uninterruptible Power Supplies would be installed at Selco Head Office and 30 retail sites across the country and would protect Selco’s EPOS and IT infrastructure. This multisite solution included the supply, installation and commissioning of Uninterruptible Power Supplies for each site.
Selco was highly satisfied with the consultative approach APS provided and the professional installation of the UPS systems ensured that Selco then commissioned APS to provide a comprehensive and thorough ongoing Maintenance and Service schedule, ensuring the UPS solutions continue to operate at their optimum performance levels.
