Stowing School Bags Safely

  • Written by News Company

Furniture has undergone a transformation bringing in elegant designs and superior materials. The quality of modular furniture has witnessed a dramatic leap in finish with laminates offering superior appeal. In schools, the demand for quality furniture has always been in existence, and the improved quality has only increased the demand for better furniture. Administrators sometimes face a tough task in identifying the right supplier, often ending up with a wrong choice, which can sometimes result in additional expenditure for replacement furniture, Here is the lowdown on making the perfect choice for supply of school furniture.

Insist on a supplier with an exclusive line of school furniture

One of the important requirements for school furniture will obviously be school bag storage requirements. While it may be easy to dismiss this storage requirement as something that is ordinary and typical, it is hard to ignore the fact that this storage is a lot different from regular storage requirements. One, because it happens to be a part of school furniture, it needs to be vibrant in design and appeal. It needs to attract the students through the use of the right materials and design and finish. Two, it needs to be resistant to moisture, to protect the books, bags and other personal effects. Three, it needs to be simple and lightweight, permitting it to be easily shifted and positioned as per needs. And finally, it needs to be durable, because schools do not generally spend very frequently on acquiring furniture and furniture on inventory are expected to last long. Therefore, it makes sense to use the services of a specialist school furniture dealer to meet the unique requirements.

The right dimensions with steel frames

Storage solutions for school bags typically need to be of the right dimensions. And without exception, despite the need for appealing designs, the contours of the storage solution should ideally permit stacking of multiple units atop others, whenever necessary. Similarly, the units should be designed in such a manner so as to permit multiple units to be positioned alongside each other without wasting space in between two units. This will be necessary because a school will find it difficult to allocate many rooms or spaces for positioning storage units. The frames of the storage units need to be in stainless steel in order to assure greater durability and stronger support for the body of the storage units. Frames that are in other materials are likely to corrode over time, depending on the weather and the extent of exposure.

Secure locking facility

Storage units may also require secure locking facility to protect the contents stowed inside. And the locker facility should be easy to use and should ideally not take a very long time to open or close. This will make it easy for the students to retrieve their bags and stow their bags safely without having to spend too much of time. While the storage units should feature all the necessary components, the same should be made available in a reasonable price

Experts warn Australian retailers to wise up to the smarts of artificial intelligence

  • Written by Mark Smith


Many people associate artificial intelligence with potential job losses and the threat of machines taking over, but leading behavioural economics and customer loyalty agency, Customology warns Australian retailer industry to change how they approach artificial intelligence or run the risk of losing their customer’s loyalty.

 

Artificial intelligence, even though still in its infancy, has moved in leaps and bounds over the past few decades, with technology being used in businesses to help with logistics, gather information and manage complex stacks of data. The technology is now at a point where it has the ability to work effectively for retailers as part of their business strategy to retain customers and drive growth.

 

Customology General Manager, Michael Barnard said that retailers who are introducing artificial intelligence into their business need to understand the technology needs to be trained just like any member of their staff, it is not a simple plug-and-play piece of software that will drive immediate results.

 

Australian retailers are at the crossroads of a very exciting time for their business, which can see them successfully harness the power of artificial intelligence to secure their future place in the market,” Mr Barnard said.

 

They need to commit to rolling out the technology as part of their business strategy and sticking with it so that the AI is able to be integrated effectively within the company’s business platforms and channels,” he said.

 

Too often, businesses expect a quick win when the reality is that AI will significantly assist companies with the speed of decision making allowing more complex customer focused pathways for communications. AI won’t of course be of any value to companies that aren’t responsive or open to new channels and business tools.

 

Michael Barnard said retailers should consider how artificial intelligence will complement the roles of their staff in store, as face-to-face human interaction is critical to engaging with customers and building their loyalty with businesses.

 

Artificial intelligence can help with generating leads and making personalised recommendations for products to customers, but it can’t replace the connection made between two people which is vital for building customer loyalty,” Mr Barnard said.

 

Additionally, AI helps free up staff to concentrate on the more strategic elements of their job. This means that they can add that human touch to the customer engagement process consolidating loyalty and driving value for customers.

The agency works with leading brands including; Flight Centre, The Coffee Club, Michael Hill, Bridgestone and Suncorp.
