Logicalis will also leverage the MaintenanceNet tool to grant access to their customers. With full visibility into their maintenance contracts purchased, Logicalis customers can take advantage of efficient management of maintenance entitlement, alignment of assets to coverage, improved operational efficiencies and a drastic reduction of man hours to audit contract information.

In addition to incremental services revenues, Logicalis will also improve customer loyalty by providing a value-add solution to help their customers manage and track their maintenance purchases more efficiently.”
