PROJECT NAME: PODS
Brief Introduction:
PODS are collapsible portable storage solutions in three different sizes that are convenient, cost-effective and solve a wide range of storage needs. PODS is widely used for moving solutions and as alternative house and business storage solutions. In the U.S.A; agencies use PODS containers during facility renovations, for onsite storage, relocation of employees and for personal storage and even temporary housing during disaster relief situations.
Client: AUSPODS Pty Ltd.
Objective:
To establish a relationship with the PODS team and develop a business case for the use of PODS within Defence.
The Technology:
The PODS technology is a unique and versatile solution for storage with direct relevance to Defence. The storage solution is currently being used in a variety of commercial applications in the U.S.A and Australia. The portable storage containers are easy to transport and when empty can be flat packed for transport; reducing costly transportation challenges. The containers are versatile, easy to move once onsite, strong, secure and weather resistant. There is a wide range of potential applications within defence; logistics for deployment opportunities, storage solutions at defence facilities, relocation of personnel and disaster relief.
