SAVE NOW AND LOSE LATER?

A few years ago, CONTROL IMS lost a tender to provide its products and services. The reason? One of the competitors offered a system for $30,000 less. 

More than two years later, this story took a 180-degree turn. We received a call from the person in charge of the process, in which he confessed that the project didn’t work. The audit department depended on the information generated by the system installed. But the system provided little to no information, and the project failed because of the negative results.  He stated, “everything went well until the installations started, but several months after connecting the equipment and processing information, the system never worked”.

The company regretted its decision: What they thought was cheap initially turned out to be very expensive, and they had to purchase our products and services.

Lessons learned.

Difficult situations demand more and more creativity to solve them. Crises also require united work teams that think and act together for the company to balance income and expenses and to guarantee that every dollar invested generates profitability.

In this search, there is an imbalance between the situations that must be resolved and the options to solve them. Sometimes the problems seem bigger than the proposed solutions. The organization may face a landscape of reactive, disjointed decisions, with few resources and uncertain results, even though definitive solutions are expected.

There, uncertainty must give way to ideas that seek brilliant and lasting solutions. Alternatives such as those offered by CONTROL IMS, solutions that automate fuel operation with modern equipment and practical software. Everything to reduce errors in the monitoring and administering of the company’s resources.

Now, the decision is up to the directives: Apply restrictions, lower costs, tighten the work environment, and demand more, Or invest in a system that saves so much that it reduces problems and conflicts, like the system offered by CONTROL IMS. The decision is yours.
