Tractors Singapore Limited (TSL) is the leading equipment dealer in Singapore. They are committed to offer continual quality improvement and customer satisfaction with their full range of services from sales, rental, and parts to service support.
With over five decades of experience in the heavy equipment and power systems industries, TSL makes use of a wide range of IT solutions and services to keep their operations going smoothly and efficiently. However, this vast IT environment exposed the company to the following challenges:
Managing Multiple Brands and Vendors
TSL had a separate vendor for their phones, IT infrastructure and was also using copiers and printers from a mixture of brands. A lot of time was spent on communication and management of the multiple vendors for troubleshooting and support. It was also cost-prohibitive to establish rapport with the different vendors, with initial set up costs incurred with each of them.
Providing Clear and Actionable Reports
With their current multi-branded print environment with multiple vendors, there was little to none accountability in terms of print usage breakdown, outgoing / incoming call breakdown and tracking of IT issues faced. This made it difficult to measure the internal objectives and to provide accurate figures to their management.
Building a Flexible and Scalable IT Environment
TSL is constantly expanding, with a quality policy to continually seek to improve processes and business effectiveness as their guiding principle. They needed an IT vendor that is flexible and able to keep up with their demands, regardless of the size or location.
Improving Phone Users’ Satisfaction
TSL was using normal analog phones, which only had basic calling functions and no display screens. They also used a common extension, with one line shared among a couple of users.
A diagnosis was performed to establish whether there was a need for TSL to improve its existing IT environment, together with an identification of the objective assessment of TSL’s business requirements. This enabled Adventus to better understand TSL’s daily business operations, the type of printing, phone and other IT requirements of the company, and evaluate the importance of each of the IT components within the company structure.
Based on the above, Adventus produced a comprehensive report that incorporated a comparison between the performance and cost of the proposed and existing IT environment.
With Adventus being our single point of contact for all our IT and print related needs, I can now focus on other tasks at hand. The excellent service delivery standards provided by Adventus have also proved that they are reliable, and this has taken a load off my shoulder at work.
