Okay, so imagine 7-Eleven, right? They've got stores everywhere, and stuff breaks down, like a lot. Freezers go kaput, coffee machines decide to take a vacation, and the list goes on. Cask stepped in and said, "We can fix this!" Instead of relying on outside folks for every little thing, we helped them build an in-house maintenance dream team. We're talking about creating a system where their own technicians can handle most of the repairs. This means less waiting around for someone to show up and more time keeping those shelves stocked and the Slurpee machines humming.

So, what exactly did we do? We built a whole new platform, using the power of ServiceNow, a network that’s kind of like a super-organized brain for their maintenance. This isn't just some basic app, it's a full-blown portal where technicians can manage their truck inventory, order new parts when needed, and even see what other technicians have in stock, in real-time. No more guessing games or frantic calls to figure out who has the right widget. It’s all there, clear as day. We didn’t just throw this together; we had a plan, a multi-streamed implementation approach where we were working on the app, making it look good, and bringing in vendors so everyone was ready to roll.

Our Approach to 7-Eleven

When it comes to 7-Eleven, we didn’t just walk in with a pre-packaged solution. We dove deep into their operations and talked to the people who are on the front lines of maintenance. We had detailed design sessions, focus groups, and created wireframes to ensure our solution met their specific needs. It’s like we were making a custom suit for them, not just grabbing something off the rack. We even came up with creative concepts to make the new portals appealing and easy to use. Think of it, from the initial sketches to the final product, our approach was meticulous and thoughtful.

Our goal wasn't just to make the system work, but to make it work *well*. We wanted to give the technicians the tools they needed to do their jobs more efficiently, so they could spend less time wrestling with paperwork and more time fixing the problems. This is why we focused so much on the user interface and user experience. We wanted a system that was not only functional but also a joy to use. It's kind of like giving someone a super cool multi-tool instead of a rusty old wrench. We’re all about making their lives easier and making sure everything runs smoothly.

The $2 Million a Day Difference

Okay, let's get to the juicy part: the real-world results. We didn't just make things a little better for 7-Eleven; we made a massive impact. By implementing this new in-house maintenance model, 7-Eleven started saving nearly $2 million a day on maintenance costs. Yes, you read that right, *a day*. That’s like finding a twenty dollar bill in your old jeans every single day, but on a scale that’s hard to even wrap your head around. This wasn't just about cutting costs; it was about making things more efficient and less wasteful. The old system was slow, expensive, and frustrating for everyone involved. This new system, though, is a game changer.

The thing to remember is, this kind of saving wasn't some lucky accident. It was the result of careful planning, smart technology, and a lot of hard work. It proves that when you invest in the right systems and empower your people, you can achieve some pretty amazing things. And it's not just about the money. Think about all that extra time technicians are saving by not having to jump through hoops to get a part or figure out a repair. That time can now be spent keeping stores running smoothly and customers happy. It’s a win-win situation all around.

A Technician's Perspective

But it's not just about the numbers, right? Let’s talk about the people on the ground, the maintenance technicians. Before, they were dealing with a clunky, frustrating system that made their jobs way harder than they needed to be. Now, with the new Cask-powered platform, they're able to manage their own truck inventory, request orders for replacement parts, and see what other technicians have in real-time. It's like going from using a map that's falling apart to having a GPS that gives you turn-by-turn directions. The system enables them to close out work orders way more efficiently, with a significant reduction in time spent on each work order. It’s simple, fast, and effective.

One 7-Eleven representative specifically praised Cask’s user adoption, flexibility, and willingness to work together. It wasn't just about us handing them a product and walking away. We worked together as a team to make sure the system was working for them. It's about understanding the people who are using the system day in and day out, and making sure that it makes their jobs easier and more efficient. This is not just about technology; it’s about people and how technology can empower them to be more effective. Cask was not just a vendor; they were a partner in 7-Eleven's success.
