Weetabix choose Marval MSM to transform its support services

Leading UK cereal manufacturer, Weetabix Food Company, has selected Marval for the provision of its service management software solution, MSM, to support its drive for service optimisation and improvements, and delivering services more closely aligned with the ITIL good practice framework.

“We are strengthening our processes and procedures and transforming the way we deliver our support services to meet current and future challenges. We are enhancing the customer experience whilst working smarter and building a scalable function to support all areas of the business”, explained Ian Price, IT Service Delivery Manager, Weetabix.

He continues: “We were not only looking for a software solution but also a company we could work with to help implement a service portfolio, standardise workflows and embed a culture of continual service improvement.”

Other key objectives for the Weetabix IT delivery team were to

• Roll out self-service
• Transform IT into an enabler to the business whilst improving the service offerings and the customer journey
• Capture all interactions with customers
• Deploy service reporting to demonstrate business value
• Increase process automation and smarter working practices
• Build stronger relationships between the IT department and customers
• Define and implement internal service level targets
• Extend service management into other business areas such as HR and Legal

Weetabix drove an aggressive implementation timeline, with the introduction initially of key ITIL processes, a comprehensive self-service portal and a goal of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance (corporate governance and accountability) within six months.
