Ultimate Visual Solutions circumvents supply chain delays

Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) is maintaining a lead time of fewer than eight weeks for its Lucidity videowall controller technology which it attributes to excellent working relationships with suppliers and research.

The short lead times are in place at a time when some AV manufacturers are on one-year lead times or are not taking new orders, as a result of post-Covid supply chain delays.

The videowall specialist, which has even installed some models within three weeks, is fulfilling orders within eight weeks for UK and international partners, including projects in Vietnam, Poland, Romania, the Netherlands and Ireland.

UVS managing director Steve Murphy said: “We realised early on that the pandemic would seriously affect the supply chain, even before other factors such as the Suez Canal blockage in March 2021. We have nurtured excellent working partnerships with all our suppliers over the many years of working with them. Our respect for suppliers in the way we have always worked with them has paid dividends.

“Constant communication and liaison regarding our requirements allowed suppliers to fulfil most of our needs, with many definitely going the extra mile to assist us. We were also able to fulfil additional needs through our research and engagement with new suppliers.

“The fact that we have multiple options of videowall controller technology, using different versions of input and output controller cards, has allowed us to substitute alternative controllers to fulfil urgent needs during any component issues.”
