Meet Elgi Ultra:
In the competitive landscape of manufacturing and industrial products, Elgi Ultra encountered numerous challenges before adopting Wavity’s ticketing solution. Their IT department grappled with an influx of hardware and software requests, resulting in miscommunication and difficulty in tracking and resolving issues. Traditional communication channels like phone calls and emails hindered visibility and effective ticket management, while the absence of a centralized system impeded response time tracking and vendor performance evaluation. This case study explores Elgi Ultra’s journey with Wavity, showcasing the transformative impact of the ticketing solution, as shared by Manoharan during our interview.
Challenges Faced By Elgi Ultra:
Elgi Ultra, a manufacturing company specializing in consumable goods and industrial products, faced several challenges prior to implementing Wavity’s ticketing solution. Their IT department received numerous hardware and software-related requests from internal users, leading to miscommunication and difficulties in tracking and resolving issues. Phone calls and emails were the primary means of communication, making it challenging to maintain visibility and effectively manage pending tickets. The lack of a centralized system hindered their ability to quantify response times and monitor the performance of their AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) vendors. The absence of documentation and a structured ticketing system resulted in delays, miscommunication, and a lack of accountability.
Business Impact:
The absence of an efficient ticketing system had a direct impact on Elgi Ultra’s business operations. Miscommunication between users and the IT department often led to incorrect issue reporting and subsequent delays in resolution. This resulted in potential loss of sales and compromised business productivity. The lack of visibility made it difficult to prioritize and address urgent issues promptly, negatively affecting customer satisfaction and overall service quality.
Manoharan said: “The main issue we faced was miscommunication. We lacked proper documentation, and users would simply call our technical guide and provide some information. However, when my technical team reached the site, we often realized that the problem was something completely different. But now, with the implementation of the ticketing system, everything is properly documented. Users can convey their requirements or issues to the IT department by writing them in the ticket, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked or misunderstood. It’s much easier now to bring the right tools and resources on time, thanks to the clarity provided by the ticketing system.”

They could now track the time taken to resolve specific issues and evaluate the performance of their AMC vendors effectively.
Manoharan said: “Now I have crystal-clear visibility into the number of tickets received from our end users, the percentage of tickets resolved within 24 hours, and the remaining pending tickets. This level of transparency is invaluable as it allows us to effectively track our system’s performance and proactively enhance the quality of our service.
