Our customer PENNY
PENNY is a REWE Group company and has been active in large-scale sales in Italy for almost 30 years. PENNY Italy's recipe for success: passion, enthusiasm and professionalism. Around 4,400 employees work in over 400 stores and seven sales centers. Italy is a growth market - further investments and new markets are planned for the future.
"CHG-MERIDIAN is the best choice for us: they guarantee us a high degree of flexibility that the competition did not offer us. It was therefore not just a question of cost-effectiveness, although this aspect was certainly relevant, but also one of business transparency."
Competing successfully with a modernized IT landscape
PENNY had to modernize its equipment landscape in order to stay competitive amidst market price pressure. With around 10,000 different types of devices, including servers, notebooks, smartphones, and in-store tills, managing this diverse IT infrastructure became complex and costly and tied up liquidity. We assisted PENNY by implementing a comprehensive usage model that offers a transparent financial overview, predictable payments ensures planning reliability and budget relief for the company.
Lifecycle Management Services
Our usage model includes the pre-configuration of mobile devices, delivery of the devices to your locations, support and maintenance as well as rapid device replacement in the event of a defect.
tesma®
Our technology and service management platform tesma® enables PENNY Italia to benefit from a comprehensive overview of its IT equipment. It integrates commercial and technical data and provides the company with holistic insights along the entire technology lifecycle - from rollout and device retrieval to certified deletion.
Conclusion
Whether it's about TCO reduction, cash flow optimization or planning security - our lifecycle usage concept with operational leasing is a "perfect match" for PENNY Italia. It avoids high up-front investment costs, offers flexibility in changing situations, enables full cost control as well as cost center-specific billing thus creating the optimal basis for improved decision making. And all this without unnecessarily burdening the environment. PENNY Italia and CHG-MERIDIAN: a partnership in which CIO Marco Ruffinoni also sees great potential.
