IT firm clinches new deal
NOTTINGHAM firm Retail Assist have signed up their latest customer, Hollywood Bowl Group.
Hollywood Bowl Group operate over 60 bowling alley centres across the UK, along with 3 Putt Stars mini-golf centres.
The IT services and solutions provider will offer support through their IT Help Desk to Hollywood Bowl Group’s centres.
Retail Assist’s IT Help Desk runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making them the perfect hospitality partner to cover the extended trading hours required by Hollywood Bowl Group.
Dave Wilson, IT Director at Hollywood Bowl Group, said: “We initially managed our IT support requirements internally but, thanks to our success, we needed to find an outsourcing partner so that our internal teams can focus on business growth instead.
“I have worked closely with Retail Assist in a previous role and what has always stood out for me out is the depth of specialist support and sector-specific partnerships that they can bring to deliver a holistic solution.
“I know that I have the partnerships that I can trust to keep us trading with minimal disruption, allowing us to focus on growing the business.”
Alongside helpdesk support, Retail Assist will also manage the relationship with Barron Mccann, who will provide hardware maintenance support that delivers a nationwide four-hour response for high-priority issues, enabling the rapid repair or replacement of faulty devices.
Barron Mccann also provides engineering support to undertake on-site investigations into the cause of faults that cannot be diagnosed by Hollywood Bowl Group colleagues on site or remotely.
Dan Smith, chief executive officer at Retail Assist, said: “Our extensive experience supporting restaurants, retail and cinemas for many years makes us the perfect fit for Hollywood Bowl Group, ensuring they benefit from our high availability support services and industry expertise.
“This sector has been experiencing substantial growth in recent years, so we are delighted to be able to support this success story and help them continue to thrive. We have seen a definite consolidation of IT suppliers within our client base over recent years, and Retail Assist and Barron Mccann together deliver a broad range of services to work in tandem to deliver a seamless service to all their bowling alleys and mini-golf locations.”
