Packaged Services

Hull-based ARCO is the UK leader in Safety and Maintenance Supplies to Industry, offering an enormous range of over 12,500 products from protective clothing, safety footwear, health and hygiene products, tools and maintenance equipment.

ARCO is constantly refining its business processes to stay ahead of the game and this not only means greater customer choice, but also a growing mountain of data - storing up potential problems for the future. This was where the SAP Archiving Packaged Service was able to offer ARCO a quick, value for money solution.

“Having successfully implemented SAP R/3, we took a preventative maintenance approach and began looking for an archiving solution from day one,” says ARCO IT Divisional Manager Paul Nicholson. “Our initial research came back with products needing several weeks or even months to implement, so this new offering of a fixed scope service with clear goals and quick delivery looked almost too good to be true!”

“When the team arrived on site, Proceed ran though what looked like a tight schedule to complete the installation,” says Paul Nicholson. “Within four days we had a complete implementation that achieved all its goals. The whole process went very smoothly, and did exactly what it said it would.”
