“Within days we had Kasun, a Platned consultant on-site with us, reviewing our processes and how the baseline version could meet our needs. By working through and rationalising our screen sets and workflows together, we were quickly able to reduce the number of interactions needed, saving technicians time and effort on every visit. That equates to a 20% reduction in screen workflows required, he says.”
