Built for public services
Oversight of equipment across every site
When equipment is spread across many buildings and services, keeping track of what's safe and what's due is the hard part.
Value for money
Itemised quotes, no hidden costs and one multi-brand contract instead of many, making it easier to show best value.
Safe for people and staff
Six-monthly LOLER examinations and planned servicing protect the people you support and the staff who help them.
Dependable equipment for the services people rely on
Local authorities and care agencies manage equipment across day centres, supported living, respite, residential services and community settings. Hoists, beds, wheelchairs and commodes all need regular servicing, and every hoist and sling needs a LOLER thorough examination at least every six months.
Shepherd provides one reliable, cost-effective servicing arrangement across all of it, whatever the make, wherever it's located.
Oversight made simple
With asset tagging, every item is barcoded with its location. After each visit you receive a full electronic report and an updated asset list, giving commissioners, service managers and health and safety teams a single, accurate view of equipment across every site.
Clear, fair pricing
Itemised quotations before any contract is raised. Quarterly, six-monthly or annual frequencies. No hidden costs and no minimum asset count. One-off and on-demand visits are also available for new services or urgent needs.
