The challenge

You may recognise some of this:

  • – Different maintenance schedules across systems
  • – Limited visibility of what’s been tested – and when
  • – Multiple contractors visiting site
  • – Time lost managing suppliers and resolving issues
  • – Uncertainty around full estate compliance

 

This isn’t a failure.

It’s simply how most estates evolve.

The TIS approach

We help schools simplify service and maintenance across their entire estate.

That means:

  • – One consistent maintenance strategy
  • – One point of contact
  • – Clear visibility across all systems
  • – Fewer site visits and less disruption
  • – A more efficient use of your budget

 

We don’t replace systems unnecessarily.

We make what you have work better – and build from there

 

What we support

We provide integrated support across:

  • – Fire detection and alarm systems
  • – CCTV
  • – Access control
  • – Intruder & hold up alarms
  • – Intercom and door entry
  • – Emergency lighting
  • – Auto-gates and barriers

 

All designed to work simply, reliably, and consistently.

The outcome

With the right approach, schools gain:

 

  • – Confidence in compliance
  • – Reduced operational burden
  • – Better long-term value
  • – Systems that scale with their needs

    Daren Little, IT Director, Audley Group

    Operating in the luxury retirement village sector brings a level of expectation from our customers on the standard of technology provided. To achieve this I need to partner with a company that understands my IT Infrastructure and technology requirements, along with being able to provide exceptional design and consultation services. I’m pleased to say I have found this partner in TIS. The engagement and high standard of work I get from every level of the business is what keeps TIS at the top of my list of partners.

Not only do they provide the full range services and disciplines that ExtraCare needs, but the team takes time to listen and understand our strategy and then tailor their services to help us reach our goals. Any successful long-term partnership requires commitment and trust, and throughout the many years ExtraCare has partnered with TIS, their open and transparent culture has exemplified this.

    Kevin Hudson, Construction Director, Audley Group

    Audley’s aim is to be the market leader and most trusted provider of luxury retirement living in the UK, and as such we need to partner with organisations who can match that level of commitment and premium service. TIS has been our partner of choice for design and installation of specialist systems in our luxury villages for over 10 years and this speaks volumes about them as an organisation.
