Business Overview
I&A implemented an integrated solution that facilitated JK’s transaction processing requirements and replaced several bespoke systems for which they were paying annual subscriptions. The I&A solution provides JK with the ability to integrate with third party systems, in particular their industry specific crane hiring application called E.P.O.S and also accommodates their budgeting and forecasting needs.

- Reduced key man risk, manual data input and data cleansing by automating reporting processes.
- The Management of 7 companies and 400 assets was made simpler and easier.
