Workflow: Battery replacement scheduling

Overview

With the prevalence of laptops in the workplace, coupled with the increase in flexible working, battery health is now a concern not only for road warriors but for the majority of employees.

Problem

Poor battery life can affect an employee's digital experience, limit their mobility and productivity, and result in unnecessary device replacement, which can impact hardware costs and carbon footprint. With the increase in laptop usage, battery replacement over device replacement is now increasingly common, however, it is a lengthy process of detecting, verifying, and scheduling a battery replacement.

Solution

Orchestrate the end-to-end battery replacement process using a pre-built workflow.

This includes:

  • Automating the detection of poor batteries (Windows / macOS) ​

  • Correlating with battery and device warranty. ​

  • Engaging with end-users to verify impact on employee experience ​

  • Recording in ITSM tool any required replacement and/or order

Value

  • Orchestrate a common IT process to save IT support time

  • Extend the lifecycle of devices by replacing components instead of the entire device

  • Reduce hardware replacement costs and carbon footprint

  • Proactive service requests to avoid future tickets and enhance employee experience.
