With a stellar lineup of Isuzu trucks and an extensive selection of pre-owned vehicles, Deakin Trucks stands out as the ultimate hub for everything truck related. They not only deliver truck sales, servicing and repairs but also exceptional parts, transport engineering, and even truck dismantling services. And here’s the highlight – their seasoned guidance is readily available to you without any cost, precisely when you require it.
A Revamp To Redefine Technology Systems
Recently Deakin’s server had become sluggish and this was hindering their operations, especially when using the essential MYOB Exo application for admin and finance tasks. The team at Devine Technology immediately knew what was required to transform Deakin’s business, recommending a state-of-the-art upgrade to get things humming again.
Deakin Trucks General Manager, Scott MacLean explains:
“We’ve been with Devine Technology for well over a decade and in that time they’ve served us for all things technology. Initially we needed a lot of help interfacing overseas equipment with our internal systems so both Phil and Chris took the time to understand our requirements and from there things became a lot smoother for us. In the following years Phil trained up other Devine staff to cater for our needs, which has been brilliant. More recently, our old server was well past it. Devine Technology had kept it ticking along but we needed more speed, better quality graphics systems and just more for our overall admin, especially when generating reports.”
Supercharged Tech Solutions Delivered
Devine Technology offered comprehensive technology that catapulted Deakin Trucks into a whole new league. They upgraded the server hardware including bringing it up to speed with the latest operating system to fully-support MYOB Exo. The results have been faster, more reliable, and more stable access to Exo, transforming their day-to-day operations. Devine Technology also installed a tried, true and trusted Fortinet router, amplifying network control and enhancing virus and threat detection. This allowed for secure remote connections, perfect for Deakin’s trucking needs.
Scott notes:
“The transition of migrating our old server to the new server was a painless process. Devine Technology had remote access to our existing system and set up 99.9% of the new server from their offices. Then it was simply a case of bringing in the new hardware, sitting it side-by-side with the old, and switching it over. There were only a few minor rough spots to iron out but on the whole it really was smooth sailing and operational disruption was kept to an absolute minimum.”
Speed, Reliability & Peace-of-Mind
The impact of the installation of a new server, hardware and other technology upgrades has been nothing short of a revolution for Deakin Trucks. With new staff onboard, armed with the latest devices, remote work has become a seamless reality, even in the face of unforeseen challenges like covid and cyclones. The implementation of advanced graphics workstations has further increased their capabilities in 3D modelling, and with the expertise of the Devine Technology staff, their unique insights, and the value added by the Fortinet deployment for enhanced network security, it has been a game-changer.
Scott reflects:
“The main difference we’ve noticed has been the phenomenal speed increase across the board. Generating reports is done in an instant, debtor management is a breeze, and everybody can be in the system working it hard without it all slowing to a snail’s pace like it was before.”
Just The Right Fit For Doing Business
Now equipped with technology and systems future-proofed for years to come, the future is bright for Deakin Trucks, with plans to expand their site and add new offices. And, of course, Devine Technology will be right by their side, ensuring everything in the technology space is right on point every step of the way.
