What Makes An Inventory Clerk ‘Good’?

Published 19/12/11

The easiest answer is one that works ‘with you’ not ‘for you’, yet is completely independent.

Sound like a conundrum!

Well actually its a 3-point plan.

Point Nr 1:   Full protection at Law (for Agent/Landlord) requires that inventory services are ‘outsourced’ to eliminate any claim of bias in inventory assembly.

So, any determination (or stubborn refusal) on the part of landlord/agent to continue inventory assembly ‘in-house’ will ultimately, sooner or later, result in the wrath of the Law. Period!

Point Nr 2: Don’t be fooled into thinking that (as an agent or landlord) just because you have produced an inventory yourself in the past it will stand scrutiny in the future.

Professionally-trained inventory clerks are immeasurably superior in providing high-quality, robust inventories, with ALL the necessary detail included. Fact!  But beware, trust only those who are affiliated with APIP or AIIC. Many ‘clerks’ are simply individuals trying to earn additional income but who lack the essential qualities.

Point 3: Form a ‘true’-partnership not a one-sided partnership.

A good inventory clerk will be prepared to deliver your requirements consistently if flexibility and good communication are involved. Building a close relationship is the key!

By its very nature Excelsior excels at developing business relationships with its clients, effectively becoming an extension of their business rather than being viewed as ‘outsourced’. Why not test us out in this regard. Book a Service Assignment now. You won’t regret it.
