Rentokil Initial Standardizes Global Reporting Processes with Microsoft Dynamics

Rentokil Initial, a global leader in pest control and hygiene solutions, operates across 60 countries with a complex IT landscape and diverse reporting processes. The company faced challenges in centralizing and standardizing data reporting, which hampered its ability to generate consistent and accurate central reports. This fragmentation also made daily operations cumbersome and less efficient. Rentokil needed a solution to integrate with their existing CORE system, enhance data quality, and streamline their IT environment to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and ensure local and central compliance.
