Setting the Scene
RLB had the following challenges with its existing solution:
- Device Upgrades to Drive Productivity
RLB, as a leading construction firm, recognised the need to equip its teams with modern, powerful devices to boost productivity and collaboration across projects. They required devices that not only enhanced performance but also aligned with their commitment to environmental sustainability.
- Sustainability Focus
As a company deeply rooted in sustainability, RLB sought an integrated solution that would not only reduce their environmental impact but also match their corporate values around the circular economy.
- Streamline Joiners, Movers, and Leavers (JML) Process
RLB aimed to streamline their JML process to alleviate pressures on the internal service desk. This optimisation would enhance efficiency in managing device upgrades and replacements while improving overall service delivery.
