Stratix Managed Mobile Services Accelerates 3,500-Unit Deployment for Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated (CCBCC)

Solution Consolidates Supplier Ecosystem, Accelerates Time to Value, and Frees Up Several Full-Time Employees for Other Projects

NORCROSS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Stratix, which provides enterprise managed mobile services (MMS), and Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated (NASDAQ: COKE), the largest independent Coca-Cola bottler in the U.S., have accelerated the deployment of 3,500 devices used in field sales/field service. The solution consolidates CCBCC’s mobile infrastructure from five suppliers to one, extends new mobile technology to users faster, and gives three internal full-time employees (FTEs) their jobs back to focus on core IT projects.

“With the proliferation of mobile devices throughout our enterprise, we needed a reliable process to quickly get devices back into the hands of our employees,” said Mark Ptacek, CCBCC Infrastructure Manager – Information Systems & Services. “Stratix solved this need for us with their finely tuned procedures, knowledgeable repair technicians, and world-class facility. We now service our business partners faster than before and quickly scale for large projects.”

Now under a single managed services contract, Stratix handles all provisioning, mobile lifecycle management, and OEM relationships including CCBCC’s most recent rollout: 1,000 new tablets and convertible laptops – deployed in days instead of weeks. This was on the heels of a 1,300-unit rugged handled and mobile printer deployment. Stratix also created a secure connection into CCBCC’s domain to pre-register every device prior to deployment, allowing immediate use of replacement devices. With the solution, internal IT resources can now scale increasingly complex mobile solutions without compromising productivity.

“Stratix has enabled CCBCC with a consistent, easy-to-manage Mobile-as-a-Service (MaaS) strategy that reduces the time, complexity and cost to extend mobile innovation to the field,” said Chris Koterski, Stratix chief information officer. “Our deep expertise in The Coca-Cola system allows skilled resources to focus on core business initiatives rather than opening help tickets, tracking down OEM issues, or dedicating headcount to manage mobility.”
