  • IT Service Transformation
  • The Program conducted in depth, onsite research in stores and Distribution centres to understand what our team members wanted from an IT service point of view. We’ve worked with teams using Agile and human-centred mindsets to understand all the challenges and addressed them in the solution provided.
  • The project delivered a Servicenow App and Servicenow Portal delivered to 40,000 devices across Australia and New Zealand for team members to interact with the Servicedesk for support and incident resolution.
  • ServiceNow app and Service Portal benefits our team members by:
  • 1. Reducing time taken to log incidents, meaning store teams spend less time on support issues and more time serving our customers
  • 2. Providing mobility with the solution available on multiple platforms including shared devices, allowing access to support and information anytime, anywhere, on the move
  • 3. Providing visibility for incidents raised across their Store or Distribution Centre, reducing the reliance on Store Team Leaders or Support teams to be the single point of contact for IT issues
  • 4. Providing self-help troubleshooting guides so that team members can quickly look up and solve simple issues themselves thereby significantly reducing downtime
