Wills Groups Inc. signs agreement with Urgent Technology to provide API eMaintenance
Techniche Limited is pleased to announce that Urgent Technology, a wholly owned subsidiary, has been awarded a contract with the Wills Group to provide Facility Management and Maintenance Solutions to its over 200 convenience store locations.
Whilst the signing of the contract itself is not expected to materially improve profitability in the current financial year, this is an important order for Techniche and Urgent, as management is focussed on broadening our customer base and revenues in the USA.
Urgent's web based facilities enterprise software will be utilized by The Wills Group to manage all their maintenance requests, including scheduling of routine planned maintenance activities, contractor management, compliance testing tasks and asset management. Urgent's solution will provide The Wills Group complete transparency and real time management of the entire contractor lifecycle from safety and certification to performance management and invoicing.
Ron Thompson, the Project Manager with The Wills Group commented, "After reviewing several products, it was clear to us that API eMaintenance provided the essential features we needed to efficiently streamline our maintenance practices. We were drawn to the web-based portal and its ability to provide real-time data to our stakeholders. From invoicing and incident reporting to preventative maintenance and asset management, this system provides the flexibility we need, as well as adaptability for future growth. With a strong customer service back drop, it's the perfect tool to manage our maintenance needs."
