Contact between sites has never been easier
Don Valley Engineering
The Client
Don Valley Engineering is based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK. They are a bulk materials handling company, specialising in materials processing equipment, manufacturing bespoke screens, feeders, centrifuges and more. With 60+ years of experience, the company supplies high performance machinery globally with the ability to build machinery to their individual customer requirements.
Over the last two years Don Valley Engineering Ltd has been re-structuring itself and is now split into four divisions: Engineering, Construction, Maltings and Cleeve Materials Handling Ltd.
The Challenge
Don Valley Engineering initially worked with Dolphin ICT following the catastrophic floods here in Doncaster. The floods took out their entire network including two servers and around thirty computers. One phone call to Dolphin ICT and we were on site immediately to assess and advice on the best and quickest solutions. Furthermore installation then took place over a weekend to reduce disruption to an absolute minimum.
This was the beginning of a great working relationship with the customer, who later on down the line, required a new phone system and additional IT services we were able to provide. The phone system the engineering company was on, was a dated analogue which was unsupported. The result of this was racking up large phone bills for the multiple sites and making communication across sites more complicated than necessary. To call between sites they would have to dial the reception number and wait to be put through to the correct member of the team; this slowed down their productivity and could be frustrating for staff.

The Result
The result of putting in the new phone system for Don Valley Engineering meant that the business cut down on their costs for phone bills immensely. It also meant relationships between staff and clients ran a lot smoother due to being able to get hold of them directly. It also freed up the reception phone from putting through the calls all the time so that more calls from customers could be answered. The impact of the process being straight forward meant information was relayed much more efficiently.
Our client was very happy with our service and we continue to provide Don Valley Engineering with IT support as well as providing other IT solutions such as internet connectivity, network infrastructure, Office 365 and website hosting.
