EmiTel, the leading terrestrial radio and TV broadcast infrastructure operator in Poland, selected Field Force Automation (FFA) for their new workforce management solution. The implementation stage has started at the beginning of 2012 and was successfully completed after 6 months of intensive work. Now, FFA is being used by EmiTel’s mobile crew of 300 technicians.
Under the agreement Globema has delivered, configured and implemented the system. Some adaptations to customer’s specific requirements were introduced (such as reports and tools for managing balanced work time). FFA was also integrated with selected applications used at EmiTel. Currently Globema provides support and maintenance services after the implementation.
One of the key elements of implementation phase was adapting mechanisms of tasks allocation to specific requirements of Polish Labour Code. Dedicated solutions ensuring sustainable working time and optimizing the allocation of tasks were developed.
Krzysztof Jablonski, CTO, EmiTel:
“We have chosen Globema’s offer with FFA for our work force management primarily because we needed a solution built on a worldwide product and a partner with a proven track record of successful implementations. Globema performed the proof of concept and presented the return on investment model, both based on EmiTel’s real data and working environment. This provided a reliable evidence that implementation of FFA can enable EmiTel to achieve expected benefits such as a growth of productivity and reduction of operational cost in our mobile workforce operations.”
