Brand Guidelines 2013
the importance of our brand…& the way it looks The following guidelines have been developed to ensure that the INTEGRAL brand conveys a consistent identity across all communications. Corporate identity defines a company to itself as well as to the outside world. It is an investment in the company’s future and helps lend credibility and professionalism to the business. Using our coprorate identity correctly and consistently is important. Every time we use our logo, we send a message about the quality of our services, about the value we place on the organisation and ourselves. In an increasingly competitive market, establishing a strong, trusted brand is crucial. It’s what differentiates us from our rivals and clearly positions who we are, what we do and how we do it. In fact, it’s the essential building block in the relationship we build with each and every client. Most importantly we need to remember…
one team + one look = one brand 3

how does the one team approach work Activation
Evaluation
We begin aligning our resources to match your needs long before the mobilisation. With the one team approach the nucleus of your mobilisation team is formed from the minute you make contact with us or upon activation. With the ethos that ‘more heads are better than one’, our one team approach, ensures we work closely with you at every stage of the process to deliver the best possible solution from the wide range of expertise right across our company.
Every maintenance challenge is different. Whether you are a multi-national company or an organisation within one of the communities we serve, our one team philosophy remains the same. We use our skills, expertise and when it calls for it leading edge technology to evaluate and build a detailed insight into your organisational challenges. This ensures we tailor the most effective, sustainable and efficient maintenance solution for your needs.

Delivery
Reactive, Planned or Predicative, with a detailed understanding of your business we present your bespoke maintenance strategy, an exact fit for your organisation.
Effective mobilisation is vital for the success of any long-term maintenance contract and forms one of the key objectives behind our one team approach. Our transformational planning processes are built around our client’s needs, where key deliverables and timeframes are set with the client and incumbent contractor and not tagged on as an afterthought to a standard mobilisation process.
One up and running you can be assured you have the best team for delivering your on-going maintenance needs. Our process is one of continuous improvement, which means we are always looking for ways to drive efficiencies and cost reduction. Communication is key at each stage of the process, upon delivery we ensure that our clients are given access to detailed reports on performance measurement of the maintenance contract, giving complete visibility over the state of assets across their portfolio.

the tender Although you can’t beat a personal connection with a sales prospect, you cannot be present 24/7 to push through the sale. Therefore, your tender presentation document must work hard for you to convey your brand as well as your sales proposition. Content is obviously important, but, is not always the differentiator when it comes to pitch documents. If you cannot engage your prospect in an effective way through your tender, you may well be out of the race before you get going. By adding design and creative forethought to your presentation, you can grab attention and engage your audience, promoting your organisation, your approach to business and demonstrating how your business communicates effectively. A decision maker may well have a pile of tender documents to sift through for a project, so, is your presentation engaging enough to stand out?

the tender Executive Summary
The executive summary is your chance to give a snap shot of the main points of an indepth report. It is extremely important that it is presented well as in the large part it will be seen mainly by senior personnel and decision-makers who don’t have time to read the main report. The executive summary is the opportunity for your MD or other senior personnel to personalize the tender and thank the client for the opportunity to submit their proposal whilst containing enough information for a reader to get familiarized with what is discussed in the full report without having to read it.

Presentation Cover
Your tender document is like a mirror. It’s a direct reflection of your organisation and you as a person, and the reader will judge you. Remember, first impressions last. A tailor made cover, specific for each tender will help create a positive perception of your tender application from page 1. It will instantly re-enforce your position as a quality supplier and set your tender apart from the rest.
Contents Page
Make it easy for the recipient. Provide a table of contents, even an index if necessary, so they can easily get to the data that is pertinent to them. Ensure your page numbering corresponds with the contents and that your page numbers are legible and easy to find on each page. Lets face it, a bid team may have to work their way through possibly dozens of tender applications, providing them with clear and easy signposting to sections will make their job a whole lot easier.
Dividers
Break your tender document up into defined sections and consider using tabbed inserts in your presentation to differentiate them. If your content is placed into manageable ‘chunks’, they are far more likely to be read. Also, consider using colour-coding as a visual aid and relate this back to the contents section.
