i4T: A Technology Partner to Global Brands
i4T is a versatile technology partner specializing in industries like FMCG, Retail, QSR (Quick Service Restaurants), and Smart Buildings. They provide comprehensive IT and technical support services to prestigious clients including McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Burger King .
Company Profile:
Industry: Information Technology & Services
Team Size: 500+ employees
Location: Thane, India
Purpose: Manage service delivery across multiple brands and locations
The Challenge: Service Delivery Bottlenecks
Before implementing Sangam CRM, i4T faced significant challenges that were impacting their service quality and operational efficiency .
1. Lack of Centralized Platform
Managing tickets from multiple sources—direct requests, emails, and client portals—was chaotic. Without a unified system, ticket data was scattered, making it difficult to centralize operations, monitor ticket statuses, and track resolution times efficiently across brands and stores.
2. Inefficient Ticket Allocation
Assigning tickets to the right team or engineer was inconsistent and time-consuming. This led to delays in addressing critical issues and impacted overall service efficiency.
3. SLA Management Issues
Meeting service-level agreements was problematic due to the lack of real-time SLA tracking and escalation protocols. Missing SLAs meant dissatisfied clients and potential contract penalties.
4. Brand-Specific Complexity
Different brands—McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Burger King—had distinct workflows and SLAs. This complicated ticket management and prioritization, as each brand required different response protocols.
5. Project Management Challenges
Managing maintenance schedules and new store openings (NSO) lacked structure and visibility. Multiple store openings happening simultaneously with different timelines made project tracking difficult.
6. Manual ETA Communication
Informing clients about engineer arrival times was manual and inconsistent. Engineers sometimes reached out directly without notifying the client, leading to confusion and customer dissatisfaction.
7. Performance Monitoring Gaps
Calls were made, but there was no call analysis or unified dashboard to monitor team performance. This reduced accountability and made it difficult to identify coaching opportunities.
The Impact of These Challenges
These challenges created a cascade of business problems :
Delayed Ticket Resolutions: Slower resolutions resulted in missed service deadlines and dissatisfied clients
Delayed Operations: Manual processes for maintenance, store setups, and expenses caused significant delays
Brand-Specific Bottlenecks: Each brand's unique workflows made it harder to prioritize tickets efficiently
Lack of Performance Monitoring: No clear way to track call performance and team productivity, reducing accountability
The Solution: Sangam CRM Implementation
i4T implemented Sangam CRM to address these challenges comprehensively .
1. Centralized Ticket Management
Tickets from multiple sources were consolidated into a single platform, enabling efficient tracking and resolution. This eliminated the chaos of scattered ticket data.
2. Ticket Auto Allocation System
The CRM's automated ticket allocation system ensured tickets were assigned to the appropriate team or engineer based on availability, expertise, and location. This minimized delays and dramatically improved efficiency.
3. Brand-Specific SLA Workflows
Customized workflows ensured that each brand's SLAs were precisely met, supported by automated escalation protocols. This resolved the complexity of managing different brands with different requirements.
4. Project Management for Store Openings
Streamlined New Store Opening activities with day-wise task tracking and milestone monitoring. This brought structure and visibility to store opening projects.
5. Power BI Integration
Real-time dashboards provided actionable insights into ticket status, SLA compliance, and team performance. This empowered managers with data-driven decision-making.
6. Ticket Prioritization by Location
Enabled prioritization of tickets based on store location and urgency, ensuring swift issue resolution for critical locations.
7. ETA Notifications
Automated communication of engineer arrival times improved client satisfaction and eliminated manual communication errors.
8. Call Performance Dashboard
A live dashboard for call performance allowed for real-time monitoring and improved team accountability.
