It is scanned when it goes through receiving,” says Jessica Scheid, Operations Manager – Distribution Services. “We can view every project and run reports that pull data for every light fixture for every customer in the building. It ensures quality on our end.” Lighting material is stored at the Kirby Risk Commodities Center located in Indianapolis. Account and Project Managers work with the customer to determine what product materials are needed. The customer then purchases everything up front for the project. The product belongs to the customer, but it is held for the duration of the project by Kirby Risk. STAGING CARTS SAVE TIME AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY The Commodities Center team works with the Project Manager to release product as needed to a jobsite. When staging carts are added to a project, organizing and labeling is taken up a notch. The Project Manager works with the customer to determine how the carts will be used for their specific project needs. That information is passed to the Commodities Center team who stages and labels the needed materials.

Jobsites can be hectic and withmany workers coming and going, project materials are at risk if left unsecured or stored improperly. How can you ensure project lighting materials don’t get lost, stolen or damaged while on a jobsite? Purchasing a facility to store and stage material may not be a feasible option. That’s why Kirby Risk developed the Project Storage Program — a safe, secure and affordable solution for storing project lighting materials. HOW DOES IT WORK? The Kirby Risk Project Storage Program allows for storage, staging and quick delivery of lighting products directly to a jobsite when needed. The team takes care of busy work and eliminates unnecessary jobsite waste by unboxing material and placing products on rolling staging carts. These carts are labeled with a specific location on a jobsite where the materials will be used. Once a project is established, the system creates a barcode tied to that project along with a part ID. This labeling system allows all materials related to a project to be tracked through
