Wilcon, Converge strengthen tie-up

WILCON Depot has tapped Converge ICT Solutions Inc. for a dedicated and secured internet service. Converge ICT will supply the construction supplies and home improvement retailer a Direct Internet Access (DIA) to assure Wilcon Depot of smooth flow of operations.

The DIA will also provide a wellorchestrated operational process of virtual video conferences between various departments, comprehensive data sharing, and coordinated logistical communication to ensure continuous business productivity.

“The IT infrastructure is very important to any growing company. especially for us as a retailer, we need data very quickly. We need the data to be consolidated back at our head office. And we need data to be consistent and available to our teams so we can make proper decisions. operationally, we cannot run our costs, we cannot run our systems without connectivity,” said Lorraine Belo-cincochan, president and Ceo of Wilcon Depot.

For the majority of their branches, Wilcon Depot is currently subscribed to the Converge ibiz product, a pure fiber internet plan created to provide businesses with quality connections at an affordable cost. As the company evolves and expands with an increasing need for more bandwidth, it transitioned from ibiz to f lexibiz—a business-grade connectivity solution designed for maximum efficiency during daytime business peak hours.

“We’re happy to be Wilcon Depot’s longtime partner in connectivity. Helping them maintain their status as a pioneer in construction supply and home improvement retail in the Philippines despite the challenges of the pandemic is in line with our guiding belief in accessibility, innovation, and growth,” said Converge Chief operating officer Jesus C. Romero.

“We are proud to be their continued partner in providing solutions for every Filipino home as they continue to expand nationwide. Converge remains committed to supporting businesses as they adapt to new operating models to improve efficiency and increase productivity.”
