Case Study · Leading USA-based liquor store chain
A robust L1 Help Desk and SIAM (Service Integration and Management) framework for a leading USA-based liquor store chain operating 800+ retail locations and 120+ head-office employees. Built on ServiceNow as the centralized incident and service-management platform, it logs, categorizes and prioritizes incidents, resolves common issues from a searchable knowledge base, automates escalation to L2/L3, and coordinates third-party vendors for major incidents via SIAM — across email, phone and web-portal channels. The result: reduced operational downtime, streamlined IT operations, enhanced service quality and data-driven decisions.
