Plumbers merchant City Plumbing, has boosted its offer to housing associations and local authorities with the launch of a new Integrated Solutions brand.
Integrated Solutions at City Plumbing is a team of experts providing repair and maintenance material supply chain solutions to the affordable housing sector. Supplying in house repairs, service maintenance providers, and contractors that work in the plumbing and heating sector, Integrated Solutions will focus on product supply, distribution, frameworks, IT, and administrative solutions.
In addition to over 37,000 product lines and over 350 branches to fulfil contract requirements, customers can now receive consultancy along with a range of new digital solutions. Integrated Solutions’ expert internal digital development team ensures that it has the latest systems and technologies to best support its customers. Carefully curated systems and KPI portals monitor stock levels, sales, and purchases to help customers improve first-time fix rates, jobs completed per day and most importantly resident satisfaction.
Integrated Solutions also works closely with the Energy Efficiency at City Plumbing team, who offer design support and distribution for renewable heating products, including heat pumps, biomass boilers and underfloor heating. The expert team also boast extensive knowledge on the decarbonisation of new and existing properties, government grants and industry awareness.
Richard Adams is sales director of Integrated Solutions at City Plumbing, and says: “We go above and beyond the role of a supplier and work with all our customers to improve the lives of their tenants. Whether it be through providing work placements, apprenticeships, finding employment for ex-military personnel, or teaching tenants new skills to complete jobs that fall outside of their tenancy agreement, Integrated Solutions places itself within the heart of local communities to raise the well-being of individuals, strengthen local economies and deliver on maximum social impact.
