Challenge Sopp+Sopp needed better connectivity as the 24/7 nature of the business called for a stable and reliable connection to provide the best and most consistent service to their customers. With a network of over 270 approved repair partners servicing cars, LCV’s and HGV’s, it needed access to reliable communication channels at all times of the day with customers and repairers.
