As we approach the midpoint of 2024, Industrial Services Victoria (ISV) is thrilled to share the exciting advancements and transformations that are shaping our business. This evolution is more than a response to industry trends—it's a proactive step towards setting new standards for excellence. Here’s a look at the key developments and what’s on the horizon for ISV:
Leading with Technology
Our commitment to modernization is highlighted by our adoption of state-of-the-art technologies. A prime example is the integration of the Odoo ERP system, which has fundamentally transformed our approach to managing projects. From logistics and scheduling to customer relationships and invoicing, this system enhances operational efficiency and transparency, enabling us to deliver superior service to our clients.
Advancing Towards ISO 9001 Compliance
Achieving ISO 9001 compliance is a cornerstone of our commitment to quality. This international standard for quality management systems ensures that we consistently meet and exceed customer expectations. Our move towards ISO 9001 compliance reflects our dedication to maintaining high standards in every aspect of our operations, enhancing both performance and customer satisfaction.
Investing in Our Team
At ISV, we understand that our people are our greatest asset. We have overhauled our training programs to include specialized instruction in advanced operational tools and techniques. Notably, we have introduced focused training in corrosion prevention and surface preparation theory. This investment in our team ensures that our staff are experts in critical areas, aligned with our core values and business objectives.
Upcoming NACE 1 Certification
We are also proud to announce that Benjamin Mannell, our Chief Operating Officer (COO), will be pursuing the NACE 1 Inspector certification. With over a decade of experience in the protective coatings industry, Benjamin oversees operations and project management, ensuring our policies and procedures deliver consistent results. The NACE 1 certification, offered by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), now part of the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), is a globally recognized benchmark for expertise in protective coatings inspection. This certification demonstrates proficiency in:
- Coating Inspection Expertise: Assessing whether protective coatings are applied correctly to structures like pipelines, bridges, and industrial facilities, ensuring protection from corrosion.
- Standards and Compliance: Verifying that coating applications meet industry standards, including surface preparation and environmental conditions.
- Documentation and Reporting: Recording observations and providing detailed reports to ensure quality assurance.
- Problem Identification: Identifying issues during the coating process to prevent costly rework or failures.
This certification is the first step in a progressive program, leading to more advanced certifications. Benjamin’s pursuit of NACE 1 reflects our commitment to maintaining high standards in protective coatings.
Rapid Team Expansion
Our recent growth has been remarkable, expanding our team from two to eight members in just eight months. This expansion not only increases our capacity but also enhances our expertise, allowing us to undertake more complex projects and broaden our service offerings.
A Renewed Brand Identity
In line with our modernization efforts, we are excited to unveil a new brand identity. This refreshed visual identity will be rolled out across all our digital and physical platforms, symbolizing a new era of innovation and excellence at ISV.
