Singleton’s Scrap Metal Need Robust Data Backup Solution

Singleton’s Scrap Metal merchants in East Manchester is a thriving family business.  Established more than 30 years ago, the 10-strong firm buys scrap metal such as iron, steel, copper and brass from businesses and private individuals.  This also includes dismantling waste motor vehicles that have been written off or have reached the end of their life.

Singleton’s is an extremely busy scrap yard and expanding fast.  Their business critical data includes all the database records linked to their weighbridge system: customer details, scrap quantities & rates and financial transactions.

Mike Yates, general manager at Singleton’s, explains why he trusts offsite data backup from 24/7 Uptime. “Reputable scrap businesses must comply with quite a lot of industry regulation and maintaining detailed records of all customer transactions is part of this compliance. For example, the Police can ask us to check our records against stolen car registrations to ensure they haven’t been scrapped here. These enquiries can go back to vehicles scrapped 5 years ago and we need to access this data quickly. Therefore it makes sense to have a robust offsite data backup solution in case there are ever any problems on site. We’ve worked with 24/7 Uptime for a couple of years now and the service is great.”
