DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR EFFICIENCY

The Challenge

Day-to-day administrative tasks were disproportionately time-consuming, prompting AB Vassilopoulos to adopt Tekmon’s CMMS for a more streamlined, digital-first approach.

Critical operational processes—specifically checklists and inspections—relied on paper-based methods, creating significant bottlenecks and increasing manual effort.

Managing fragmented paper forms onsite proved exceptionally difficult, hindering real-time oversight and complicating field operations coordination.

The manual transfer of data into Excel or PowerPoint was a major resource drain, diverting experts from strategic goals and reinforcing the urgent need for end-to-end digitisation.



Tekmon Daily Operations transformed the way we manage and monitor AB’s 125,000 sq.m. of Distribution Centres where there are over 1,000 employees 24/7.

With Tekmon the management team is always informed and connected to the front-line teams to communicate priorities.
