Challenge

Centrepoint, the UK's leading charity for homeless young people, faced connectivity issues across its numerous buildings. This hindered the timely delivery of essential training and support services. The charity needed a robust IT infrastructure to enhance its service delivery.

Plan

The boxxe Group collaborated with Centrepoint to assess the existing connectivity issues and developed a comprehensive plan to address these challenges. The plan involved upgrading hardware, implementing new networking solutions, and ensuring seamless integration across all sites.

Approach

The team conducted in-depth consultations with Centrepoint to understand their specific needs. They advised on the best network solutions, PCs, and equipment required. This included providing PCs, laptops, AV equipment, and networking solutions across Centrepoint’s offices.

Outcome

Centrepoint experienced improved connectivity across all its sites, enabling more effective service delivery. The new infrastructure supported the charity’s mission by ensuring reliable access to digital resources, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of its operations.

I have never had a supplier who has been able to react as quickly as the boxxe Group.

One of our corporate sponsors had a legal offering for Centrepoint to provide a legal clinic which we needed to deploy very quickly. Working with the team we were able to source not only the equipment we needed but the solution, and we were able to deploy that solution within two days. Having a single supplier who can source anything I need has really helped in terms of time.

There is always more than one solution to a problem, and having an experienced account manager really helped to find the right solution. The relationship I have is more of a partnership than a supplier. Quite often I will call up and we will talk for 20 minutes to half an hour going through different possibilities and different solutions before we come up with the right solution. That’s what I really value with the relationship I have with the boxxe Group.
