OUCH it's late but I,ve been burning the midnight oil a lot lately
The trolley itself IS exactly the same as the Omnipole one.
The story is this: I had been doing a LOT of research into what kit was available to get the "Average" window cleaner into WFP with really good products and at a very good price. I had narrowed the search down to one major manufacturer of high quality products one of which was the trolley. This was just before Windex this year. While at Windex I visited Glyn's stand and noticed he had it there. I was bowled over with the quality and suitability.
Glyn and his company Omnipole are very well respected and rightfully so in my opinion. He is so down to earth and holds customer service in very high regard as do I.
I left it on the "backburner" until I left Adepta (Purefreedom) but it was still in my mind that this could be a product that would suit the bill very well from all angles. I obtained a sample some weeks ago and since that time it has been very well tested in the field and it has lived up to more than my expectations.
I could very easily have had a pop on the 25 litre trolley made but after exhaustive testing my and others findings are that there are no speed advantages at all with the 25 litre pop-on ones. One VERY big advantage of this one is.. NO AIRLOCKS which are the bain of the pop the in pipe ones. It holds 35 litres which does make quite a difference to from full working time. The construction and design are excellent and they will last for many years in my opinion.
My aim was to put together a very high quality WFP starter package at a price which is within the reach of almost anyone. I believe I have done that. The customer will have a "One source" option and will get all the help and advice that I can give to successfuly make the change from trad. There is A LOT of work goes into this and of course time. They will also have full warranties and on-going telephone back-up which is invaluable to them.
For me there is a lot more to supplying than just shifting kit. I am dealing with peoples livelihoods and take this very seriously indeed. That is why I spend so much time explaining how WFP works and how best to implement it for my customers. To me it is a partnership and I get most of my satisfaction from seeing people grow their businesses.
I have looked at what you could buy the items in the system for and in fact the package is slightly cheaper. Saving the customer the time and effort of "shopping around" and having to deal with several different suppliers for any issues that may arise plus they will get a lot of very usefull information and honest advice so that they can make a success out of what is after all a very good value for money package deal.
