Big things happening in Australia

This achievement marks a significant milestone for our organization, as we re-enter the automotive processing market after more than 20 years.

The Australia team played a pivotal role in building the operational framework from the ground up, ensuring we met our customer’s expectations right from the start. Their dedication and expertise were instrumental in shaping tailored processes to deliver outstanding service.


Let’s take a closer look at what the team has done to deliver best-in-class service for the customer.

Custom Site Fit Out:
We designed and delivered a tailored site fit-out aligned to the customer’s specific requirements, ensuring all operational workflows integrated seamlessly with their expectations


Specialized Equipment Research & Procurement:
We researched and engaged with local suppliers to source the most suitable charging equipment. This included ensuring the correct output for each vehicle model and meeting all compliance and safety requirements.


Inspection Reports Aligned to Customer Standards:
Our team redeveloped our inspection reporting to mirror the customer’s preferred format, creating a consistent, transparent, and familiar output.

Daily Activity Tracking with Global Integration:

We implemented new processes to accurately track, record, and report daily activities. This system was shaped through collaboration between local operations, internal teams, and the customer’s global representatives.


Extensive Staff & Customer Training:
Our teams led comprehensive training sessions to define clear operational processes and expectations. This training was conducted in partnership with the customer to ensure alignment from day one.


Electricity Tracking for Transparency & Accurate Invoicing:
We developed a way with our current system to monitor electricity usage at a granular level, providing full transparency to the customer and ensuring precise invoicing.
