Iron Mountain Services Ltd. provides a comprehensive approach to inventory management, and offers a wide range of services to the oil and gas industry.

INVENTORIES
Our team of inventory consultants have specialized in the task of physically gathering all pertinent data relating to the equipment being inventoried. In utilizing our in house developedt forms or entering the data being controlled directly onto our hand held field computers, our people are able to present accurate, complete, and detailed information for all items. All inventories are conducted in the same consistent format allowing for the standardizing of data and its presentation. Facilities vary in size and types of equipment found, with our unique format of data capture and organization enables people to easily review information collected in a clear and concise format. All of our personnel are trained and have gone through the industry standard safety cources. Iron Mountain is a fully insured company with WCB policy in place.

PHOTOS AND DIGITAL IMAGING
In creating this system it was understood how important photos and images are to inventory control and support of data. Digital photographs are taken during our field inventory audits of all major items found on each location. Each photo is captured and filed under the site, LSD, and name. Drawings are also electronically stored and are retrievable on the system through a simple query request. A picture is worth a thousand words!

EVALUATION/APPRASALS
Iron Mountain Services has been conducting physical inventories and equipment appraisals as its primary business service for the past 23 years. During this time we have developed a substantial in house database of equipment and values. Utilizing this information we are able to evaluate individual items and large packaged facilities. We continually update our database with industry pricing and new equipment to the patch. By keeping in touch with suppliers and fabricators we are always utilizing the most updated values in the industry. Each evaluation or appraisal project is handled professionally and follows PASC industry standards.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
GAIMS, (Global Asset Inventory Management System) our new system has been developed over this past year utilizing the knowledge we have gained from previous inventory management systems we have built. The system acknowledges the requests and data requirements that the oil industry professionals have presented to us. We have put into play a system which is user friendly, strong in data content and has reporting functions to assist all divisions within a company. Companies can choose from two operating platforms, in house mainframe, or our new totally web enabled file server system. The system’s primarily function is to control office and field data inventory. Tracking data by site information then with codes, packaging, unique identifiers, purchase orders, AFE’s, naming, descriptions, status, and condition. Each company can choose the level of control they require from detailed bar coding to simple item naming conventions. By being able to control and search this data base system in house or by utilizing our staff, companies will now be able to have this option of maintaining their data from the field or office. Data transfer of equipment from one site to another is simply point and click. Multifaceted query options allow searches to be conducted by most any descriptor or site information captured. New add on modules to the system are being created on an ongoing as requested basis.

DATA HANDLING
With the vast amounts of data being collected in the field our office staff has developed steps to follow once they have received the information to expedite its handling and quick presentation to the client. Our in house team receives the data from the field either on paper format, or electronically. Once in our office the data is sorted, coded, packaged, and proofed prior too entry. Utilizing consistent industry naming conventions and descriptors our information is entered onto our in house inventory management system (GAIMS).

MATERIAL TRANSFERS
Our web enabled system now allows for field material transfers to take place daily. If given access to editing, your field personnel can now post the movements of equipment online. A simple five step option walks the individual through the transfer process and communicates the process with the office staff. Qualifying and approving the movement of equipment with the field in real time, thus speeding up the process which will assist in keeping the system up to date and remote internal use of surplus equipment.
