Key challenges faced

Assets out of sight.

There was no real-time monitoring, no remote access and no single service portal.

  • Lack of real-time performance monitoring of assets
  • Unavailability of remote access and limited visibility into assets and products hindered improved implementation plans
  • Absence of a unified servicing portal for ticketing, prompt query resolution, and tracking
