Challenges 

As the company expanded, customer demand surged. It was crucial for Coffex to streamline team workflows and processes for efficiency, and ensure team members can skillfully handle the escalating demand and drive the business forward with momentum.

Paper-Based Documentation 

  • Managing large volumes of paper documentation daily posed challenges, leading to inefficiencies in filing, organization and retrieval of information. This slowed down operations and increased administrative burden.
  • Handwritten reports comprised diverse handwriting styles, making them difficult to decipher. This often caused staff unnecessary stress and time, leading to errors or delays.

Laborious Report Generation

  • The process of generating reports was time-consuming and tedious, requiring significant manual effort. This inefficiency hindered decision-making and consumed valuable resources that could have been better utilized for other tasks.

Complexity of Job Orders 

  • Technicians encountered challenges with manually managed job orders containing inaccurate or incomplete information, requiring extra effort to rectify discrepancies and generate accurate reports, thereby increasing workload and potential for errors.

Time-Consuming Processes; Inconsistent SOPs

  • Time-consuming manual processes required employees to perform repetitive tasks
  • Hampered the ability to focus on other value-adding initiatives
  • Discrepancies in repair procedures could potentially lead to compromised repair quality, resulting in repeat breakdowns. 

Customer Service Needs Improvement

  • Customer service operations needed significant enhancement to boost customer satisfaction and overall business success. This involved streamlining response times, implementing effective communication channels and prioritizing customer needs.

“Now the technicians don't fill in paper reports anymore, instead it’s through an application on their mobile devices. They just need to launch the app and then select the problems with the machines and also what they have done with the machines. After that the customer will sign on the screen of the mobile phone. Then from there the service report is generated automatically and it's all electronic and digital.” - Sam Kuek
