About AO.com


AO.com are the largest online-only white goods and electricals retailer in the UK. They operate in Germany. AO.com have their own logistics company which allows them to deliver on their promises. They own Europe’s most sophisticated fridge recycling plant, which allows them to do their bit for the environment.

The Challenge


After using an internal system for many years, AO.com were looking to migrate to a well-known provider after several determining factors:

  1. A need for more functionality. The internal system was being used throughout the business. However, it didn’t work for IT, and it took a long time to make configuration changes.
  2. Cost. The internal system was expensive to run and maintain, and they were looking to make some considerable costs.
  3. Service. It was hard to fix or change anything and needed an external team to help them quickly and efficiently. 

When looking for a new ITSM tool, AO.com needed an ITIL-aligned solution that offered a great experience for its end users. They wanted the autonomy to configure all aspects of the system without coding or needing to go back to the vendor.

The Solution


After finding HaloITSM on Gartner, AO.com was initially drawn in by the responsiveness of the team and slickness of the application. After a trial period and consultations with our experts, the team felt confident enough to start the migration process throughout their UK and German offices.
