The Challenge

Support scattered across 400+ branches, with no way to see it

Pubali Bank ran IT support the way it had grown — branch by branch. With no central system to raise, route, or track issues, the picture was fragmented, the data was missing, and the cost was rising.

!
No single front door

Every branch handled its own issues, with nowhere to raise, route, or track a request centrally.

!
Zero visibility

Leadership had no live view of IT performance or the problems recurring across the network.

!
Costly and duplicated

Effort was repeated across locations, and resources couldn't be allocated where they were most needed.

!
Downtime, unmanaged

Delays and outages went untracked against any service level, directly hampering branch operations.

Objectives

Customer Testimonial
"Before this, every branch solved IT issues on its own — we had no single view and no way to hold service levels. Mevrik gave us one platform for all our branches, and issues are now resolved in about half the time."
