Moss Plastic Parts ramps up seamless real-time Wan throughout Europe

Moss says that the expanded network has already enabled its rapid expansion into emerging European markets – in particular streamlining communications and improving business efficiency. Moss, which has more than 10,000 standard lines on ex-stock delivery, makes the point that it is crucial to ensure that all sales and distribution centres can communicate and access up-to-date stock and delivery information in real time. The company says it chose SAS because, with limited IT professionals, it needed a partner it could trust not only to complete the installations in each country, but to provide ongoing support. With the installation of a BT MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) WAN to connect the new offices, the group has now linked all of Moss’ 18 sites and continues to provide 24/7 support. “Linking the three new offices into the company network was, and will continue to be, vital to our operating efficiency – and to our continued growth,” says Roger Mall, IT project manager at Moss Plastic Parts. “With only a small IT team in the UK, it simply would not have been feasible to get the sites up and running so quickly and easily without the help of a partner we could trust. The SAS group was, without doubt, the natural choice because of our longstanding relationship.”
