The client is a leading Indian conglomerate with diverse business interests spanning across energy, petrochemicals, textiles, natural resources, retail, and telecommunications. The corporate office complex in Mumbai spans a vast area, comprising numerous buildings that house various subsidiaries and group companies. The organization faces challenges in effectively managing its helpdesk services, maintenance tasks, and facility operations across this extensive infrastructure.
Challenges Faced
The client encountered several operational challenges that hindered effective facility and service management:
- Manual Request Handling: Employees across departments raised numerous service requests daily through phone calls and emails. This led to disorganized tracking, delayed responses, and a lack of accountability.
