With an SSI Flat rate agreement we are able to divide the known costs of compliance into lower and consistent monthly or quarterly payments.
By consulting with customers we shall identify the bespoke inclusive elements of contract and preferred duration. For any requirments beyond the known inclusive items we provide a competitive tariff of rates.
By allocating a dedicated Customer Account Coordinator, SSI is able to take much of the compliance burden from customers. A combination of dedicated personnel and industry leading software allows SSI to track expiry dates or escalating condition based concerns.
SSI becomes a working partner and meets with customers at a pre-set interval to ensure excellent communication.
