About The Customer
Secure Trust Bank is an award-winning retail bank that provides transparent banking services to over a million customers across the UK. Founded in 1952 in the West Midlands, the bank has offices in Solihull, London, Manchester, Cardiff, and Rotherham. V12 Vehicle Finance, a part of the Secure Trust Bank family, offers a comprehensive, used vehicle proposition that is unique to the industry. With a powerful hub of products and technology-led partners, V12 Vehicle Finance makes it easy for car dealers to source, buy, sell, and finance used vehicles. The company is committed to providing innovative solutions to its customers and is focused on transforming its IT infrastructure to support its ambitious growth plans.
The Challenge
In 2018, V12 Vehicle Finance embarked on a significant transformation to support its ambitious growth plans over the next five years. A critical component of this transformation was the implementation of a new IT infrastructure to ensure that both front- and back-end systems were modern, agile, and future-proof. The company needed to automate repetitive, manual tasks to free up its skilled IT team to focus on higher-value projects. Additionally, V12 Vehicle Finance needed to move away from older legacy systems that were hindering progress. Previous attempts to make these changes, both in-house and with a software provider, had yielded lackluster results. Therefore, V12 Vehicle Finance required a modern iPaaS solution that was cloud-based, feature-rich, enterprise-grade, and easy for employees to understand and use.
The Solution
V12 Vehicle Finance selected the SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform as its iPaaS solution. This platform was chosen for its intuitive, self-service capabilities, allowing the existing IT team, some without previous integration experience, to quickly learn and become productive. The SnapLogic platform enabled the organization to integrate multiple applications, systems, and workflows easily and effectively. This integration allowed vast amounts of data from various sources to be brought together seamlessly, making it readily available for broader business decisions. The platform also automated key back-end processes, freeing the IT team to focus on tasks critical to the business. Tommy Haywood, Transformation Manager - Motor Finance, noted that SnapLogic understood their business challenges and vision immediately. The platform's easy-to-use interface meant that the internal IT team could quickly adopt it without the need for extensive training or hiring new engineers. The implementation of the SnapLogic platform resulted in significant savings due to improved efficiency and time to value, with projects reaching the market more quickly and previously unreliable, manual processes being automated to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
Case Study
Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
