Strategic Review for Leading Home Services Provider Pacifica Group Ltd
The
Challenge
Employing over 480 members of staff it also operates largescale warehousing and distribution centres to support its field based 250-strong engineering workforce with the parts and equipment required for domestic repair and maintenance works Pacifica Group carries out throughout the country. Pacifica Group’s sophisticated and accurate warehouse management software systems ensure next day delivery and minimal returns, as well as online tracking and time delivery facilities.
Because of Pacifica Group’s rapid growth, system reliability is crucial – IT downtime is expensive and potentially damaging to the firm’s reputation for excellence. The firm needed an IT system that would support them in their future goals ensuring a resilient IT system is in place that is easy to maintain, monitor and is importantly scalable.
The Solution
The in-depth strategic review allowed us to work with Pacifica Group to fully understand its business plans going forward, planned changes and identifying areas in the IT system that required improvement. We were then able to produce a review which detailed the current risks identified and the potential impact to the plans for the future, the review was then used to formulate a road map detailing short, medium and long-term projects to build the platform required.
Due to the bespoke nature of some of the systems used by Pacifica Group, we worked with Dell to arrange loan hardware to carry out a proof of concept to ensure the investment planned would provide the expected benefits allowing Pacifica Group to be confident they were making the correct investment.
