Jeol's use of Service Manager
The equipment that Jeol maintains is of high complexity and high
value, so regular planned preventative maintenance visits are
essential.
The Access service
management solution allows for all these visits to be planned
and regularly assessed. This means Jeol can continue to offer a
first class, leading-edge service to their entire customer
base.
After purchasing the system, the Access consultants were
involved in an onsite implementation of Service Manager. This
involved not only a comprehensive training and project consultancy
schedule, but also the export of static and call data, so that when
the system went live, Jeol's customers were not affected in any
way.
Service Manager is used throughout the entire service department
for reactive and planned work and call logging, against 800+
instruments in the field. They also have extensive reporting
facilities using Crystal Reports.
"I have been delighted with the whole implementation
and support offered by Access. The benefits to Jeol have been
measured in a complete seamless end to end business solution."
Paul Hearn
Field Operations Director
"I was particularly impressed with the scalability of the
system. Because of the nature and complexity of the products we
maintain, we need to offer comprehensive and user-defined contracts and SLAs to all
of our customers. This can involve quite a comprehensive process
for billing,"
commented Paul Hearn, Field Operations Director.
