A concerned partner came to Metra Group with a heavy goal: to initiate a nationwide Smart Meter project for EEHC with a strict timeline. They needed a substantial amount of funding in order to see this project through, and the company’s credit and financing solutions were just what this partner needed.
Challenges
- The partner needed to facilitate a nationwide Smart Meter Project for EEHC with a very short timeline for rollout.
- The partner needed an additional credit line for 180 days from financing to delivery to complete the project.
- Very short and strict delivery deadlines.
Solution
- Metra Group’s supply chain and logistics teams prioritized the shipments and worked proactively with the relevant vendor, NTRA and customs to ensure smooth and prompt shipping and clearance of goods.
- Metra Group offered an increase in credit line for 180 days to support the project.
Results
- The partner won the opportunity, resulting in sales for the vendor in Emerging Technologies (i.e., HW utilizing AI and Cloud licenses for both LaaS and PaaS).
- The partner was able to complete the infrastructure of the project and meet the dates of service throughout the rollout.
- The success of the rollout positioned the partner and Metra Group as the preferred partners for EEHC for future expansion into new smart cities.
