about
Motus: Global Specialists in Escalator Component Supply
Motus is a dedicated, independent company specialising in the provision of high-quality escalator components. Whilst initially focused on the UK market, Motus is now established as a leading supplier of escalator parts, serving Globally. The company was founded to address a critical gap in the industry: the necessity for a competitively priced, service-driven supplier. Their fundamental objective remains the timely and cost-effective delivery of essential maintenance and replacement components.
Motus recently undertook a management restructure and, combined with the strategic addition of a new Dartford location (alongside their contact base in Cross Hills), they have gained a refreshed outlook and are now better positioned to enhance service delivery.
Supply Chain and Operational Innovation
Motus has significantly bolstered its supply chain to meet the demands of an international client base:
-
Increased Stock Holdings: A cornerstone of the current operation is maintaining increased stock holdings. This guarantees immediate availability for high-demand components, ensuring customers benefit from superior product availability and reliability.
-
Streamlined Operations: The restructure and new premises have facilitated the implementation of streamlined operations. This efficiency is crucial for providing faster turnaround times and a more effective overall service, cementing their status as a trusted partner.
-
Technology-Driven Service: Motus employs technology to smooth the customer experience. This includes setting up dedicated "hunt" groups that allow engineers and line managers to order and officially authorised parts within a single, real-time conversation. This process provides an efficient audit trail and substantially minimises the period an escalator is out of use.
