BP Mitchell, a well-established construction and haulage company, wanted to improve its operations and data management. Lister Unified Communications created a tailored managed tablet solution tailored to meet BP Mitchell's unique industry needs.

Challenge

BP Mitchell faced challenges in managing field operations, and needed a solution that would give seamless connectivity, strong data management, and ease of use for their workforce. The main requirements were:

• High-quality, seamless connectivity across different locations.
• Simple and effective rollout of devices.
• Pre-configuration of essential software and applications.
• Durable hardware suitable for construction environments.

Solution

Lister Unified Communications implemented:

• Multi-Network SIMs for connectivity across multiple networks, meaning uninterrupted communication and data transfer in different locations.
• SOTi Mobile Device Management (MDM) Software to facilitate a simple rollout and allow centralised security, control and management of the tablet fleet.
• Tablets were pre-configured with software, applications, and even office Wi-Fi settings. This approach minimised setup time and complexity for end-users.
• Tablets were equipped with Quarry Minder software, tailored for the construction and haulage industry. This provided specialised tools for task management, resource tracking, and data analysis.
• Tough, IP-rated cases to withstand harsh conditions and the demanding environment of construction sites.

“I would recommend them to anyone looking to deploy managed tablets for business”

Quote from Grahame Dixon, Transport Manager – “Tom and his team at Lister have been great to deal with and made life very simple to move forward integrating a mobile ticketless system into our existing Minder software. They were very efficient and did what they said they would. They took the time to understand the needs of the business, and supplied tablets thatwere fully set up and ready to be deployed to the drivers. After further advice from the team, we chose the multi network sim option that has been seamless, eliminating areas with weak 4G/5G connection. Their ongoing support has been excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to deploy managed tablets for business.”

Conclusion

Lister Unified Communications’ managed tablet solution significantly improved BP Mitchell's operational efficiency, data management, and field communication. This case shows how tailored solutions can revolutionise workflow and data handling in industry-specific environments.

 Quote from Tom Blumsom, Lister Communications – “Working with BP Mitchell has been a remarkable experience.
