Key challenges faced

Service run across teams without a shared system.

Requests, installed assets and service history were tracked separately, slowing every response.

  • Lack of a unified platform to manage service requests and track resolution across global teams
  • Limited visibility into installed assets, service history, and customer service activities
  • Manual service scheduling and coordination reduced technician efficiency and response speed
  • Difficulty in maintaining accurate service documentation and reports for effective service management
