TOA Technologies wins global Fortune 500 customer in the high-tech office equipment industry to help manage corrective and preventative maintenance work

CLEVELAND, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies that provide corrective and preventative maintenance services for industrial and office equipment have unique challenges with their field work: they must optimize the time and available assets for their technicians doing complex, multi-step jobs, while at the same time meeting their customers' stringent service level agreements (SLAs). So as the competition for after-market services continues to increase, putting pressure on these service providers to maintain margin, they need to overcome this complexity in the field workforce. A multinational Fortune 500 company that manufactures and services high-tech imaging equipment has selected TOA Technologies and its leading field service management solution, ETAdirect, to transform its field service operations to stay ahead.

In the past six months, more than 60 percent of TOA Technologies' new business has come from companies that provide corrective and preventative maintenance services. These companies include a multi-vendor IT services company in the U.S., an ATM network management company in Latin America, and a telecommunications network operator in the U.S.
