- Head of Service Operations
Key challenges faced

Service coordinated by hand.

There was no central platform, and scheduling and documentation were manual.

  • Lack of a centralized platform to manage service requests and track resolution progress
  • Limited visibility into service activities, asset records, and service history
  • Manual service coordination and scheduling led to slower response and inefficiencies
  • Absence of structured documentation and reporting impacted service consistency
