Agilitas IT Solutions is partnering with Cloud & Managed Communication services, Maintel for an initial five years.
The partnership sees Maintel utilising Agilitas’ advanced Inventory-as-a-Service solution, InventoryAssure+.
Gillian Bailey, Operations Director at Maintel said: “The transition to Agilitas was well planned, managed and executed and even when we had the inevitable teething problems in early life they came to the table with realistic solutions and a ‘can-do’ attitude. Our customers have undoubtedly benefited from this partnership – we were ‘OK’ at logistics prior to the outsource but we lacked automation and a general logistics know-how. However, now that we are working with Agilitas we can see what a real logistics organisation can do in terms of systems, processes, spares profiling and logistics best practice.”
Maintel now has a fully flexible service that supports customers and a commercial model that enables it to control costs in line with revenue and scale according to its evolving business model and customer requirements. The team is now benefitting from a clear link between transition and stock, which is ensuring it can support all customers from day one. The partnership has also delivered Maintel a pricing model that can be utilised to retain existing contracts and acquire new customers – a model that is already proving effective following a series of new contract wins.
Shaun Lynn, CEO of Agilitas said: “Automation is at the heart of modern inventory management and working with Maintel represents its transformative power to drive operational efficiency at scale. We are extremely proud of the strong progression and success that the Maintel team are already seeing through this strategic partnership and look forward to continuing our high-quality service that both supports its customers and growth objectives.”
