Temporary Works Hire Is High-Volume, Low-Margin, and Unforgiving on Inventory
Cable ramps, trench covers, and event trackway panels are low-cost individually but high-margin collectively — and they go missing constantly. A festival matting job sends out 5,000 panels and gets back 4,800. The £2,000 shortfall erases the job's profit. Without item counting at dispatch and returns, you cannot recover those losses.
