Case Study - major bank

Omnia Technology® enables major bank to successfully refresh their printer network

Customer Background

The bank is one of the largest retail financial institutions in Australia, employing over 30,000 people and serving millions of customers at over 1,000 branches throughout Australia.

The bank offers retail, business and institutional banking, wealth management and insurance. The bank operates a range of transactional technologies in its branch network including ATMs, printers, and teller technologies.

Business Objective

As part of the bank’s ongoing hardware lifecycle program, a refresh of their printer fleet at 62 selected branches throughout Australia was a priority.

The initial rollout required the completion of a pilot program, followed by the full rollout in 62 branches throughout Australia, within 3 weeks.

The Challenges

The technology solutions provider was unable to find a deployment partner capable of meeting the tight pilot and project timelines and in particular, strict scheduling windows at each site. Visits to each branch were to be scheduled, typically early in morning before opening, or at the end of the day after closing. The project required a complete logistics solution, inclusive of receipt, storage, asset management, dispatch to the closest stocking location and reverse logistics. The project also required onsite engineering attending each site at prescribed windows of time in the day. The scope included the decommission of the existing printer, consumable fitment and installation and commissioning of the replacement printer, and handover to the branch representative.

The Solution

Omnia Technology® was engaged by a technology solutions provider – the market leader in printing solutions – to manage and deliver the project.

Omnia Technology® provided a complete solution including full end to end project management, end to end warehousing, logistics, asset management and freight capability and provision of local storage and onsite engineering resources to complete the refresh at each branch.

Omnia Technology’s® local engineering resources attended selected branches in metropolitan, regional and rural locations, across all mainland states.

The Omnia Project Management Office also accommodated a number of scheduling changes at short notice, due to various operational requirements of the bank.
