BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Before implementing OfficeTrack, the inspection visits were carried out with many delays and no greater credibility in the reports, which did not optimize the work and caused re-processes (More visits-More Costs).
”This modus operandi presented several problems, starting with the delay, at least two (2) weeks between the inspection and the sending of the report. Moreover, we received erroneous photos, without the geolocation reference, nomenclature writing errors, among other problems within a document that had to reach our base of operations”, Entel director mentions.
From the beginning of Entel operations in Peru, they always sought to equip its technicians with all possible innovative equipment, but the software-level solution they were using had many delays.
