Case Study: Efficiency in Action at Sonny’s The CarWash
Sonny’s The CarWash Factory (Sonny’s) is the world’s leading manufacturer of conveyorized car wash equipment, parts, and supplies. The modernization of Sonny’s IT environment highlighted a key area for improvement: their ITSM solution. Dave Richardson, vice president of information technology at Sonny’s, tapped Navisite, part of Accenture, to implement ServiceNow. As part of the project, Navisite is integrating Sonny’s ServiceNow back-end with its own ServiceNow implementation, so Sonny’s business analysts can easily pass on support requests to the Navisite team when they need help.
The integration will significantly streamline how the company handles IT service requests. Currently, Sonny’s business analysts need to log into an internal platform to access and evaluate logged tickets and try to triage them. If the team needs help from Navisite, they must log out of the internal platform and onto Navisite’s ServiceNow account. By integrating both ServiceNow systems, Sonny’s will eliminate the need for users to toggle between two different platforms, saving them significant time.
“Our ServiceNow implementation is a game changer,” said Richardson. “We anticipate a 40% improvement in business analyst productivity. It’s just another way that the Navisite team is supporting our IT environments, our customers, and our business.”
