Case Study 2

By The Custella Team


The Issues that Mobile Workforce Management Can Solve


Here’s a company that manufactures an extensive range of tools, machinery, accessories, and consumables in the UK with over 17,000 product lines and a multitude of brands, sold in stores and via online channels. Its bespoke task management system, developed by its internal IT team, met the company’s needs initially. However, the tool did have its shortcomings, such as:

  1. overwhelmed by customer inquiries

  2. lack of transparency when addressing customer’s issues

  3. omnichannel communications spread across SMS, web chat, social media, and e-commerce platforms
