How Battery World Scaled Its Mobile Battery Services Nationwide
Background
Battery World, a leading Australian franchise with 130 retail stores, has long been known for its expertise in battery sales. However, as customer demand for convenience grew, Battery World saw an opportunity to shift from a strictly in-store service model to a mobile service approach—delivering batteries directly to customers’ locations.
Key Challenges
Despite the vision for a nationwide mobile service, several obstacles stood in the way:
Franchisee Resistance: Not all stores were eager to participate in the mobile service model.
Limited Service Hours: Some franchisees only offered mobile services during business hours (Mon-Sat, 8 AM-5 PM).
Territorial Constraints: Exclusive sales territories made it difficult to coordinate a seamless, nationwide service.
Scalability Issues: Battery World aimed to provide a 24/7 mobile service to increase sales and improve customer reach.
Eaco’s Customised Solution
Eaco developed a multi-layered strategy to tackle these challenges:
Territory Mapping
Designed a dynamic mapping system to clearly define each store’s service territory and identify “white space” areas lacking coverage.
Flexible Participation Model
Stores could opt out, allowing another franchise to service their territory.
Stores could opt in for business hours only, with Eaco handling after-hours service coordination.
Stores could fully opt in, utilizing Eaco’s automated rostering system for 24/7 service availability.
Automated Job Allocation
Implemented a Post-A-Job widget, enabling customers to request service instantly.
Automated job assignment based on technician availability and coverage areas, ensuring rapid response times.
Results & Benefits
For Customers: ✔ No need for multiple calls—jobs were automatically assigned, with real-time updates. ✔ Faster service delivery with transparent tracking.
For Battery World: ✔ Maximized franchise participation without mandatory compliance. ✔ Increased sales by capturing after-hours demand and filling service gaps. ✔ Streamlined operations with centralized data and flexible process mapping.
By integrating Eaco’s technology, Battery World successfully scaled its mobile services, expanding accessibility and enhancing customer satisfaction nationwide.
