Case Study: Bata Industrials achieves 40% travel cost savings with Tata Communications

Bata uses our Unified Communications platform to collaborate more efficiently

Bata Industrials, part of the global Bata Shoe Company, needed a more reliable and cost-effective way to collaborate across 33 production facilities in 22 countries without driving up travel and operational costs. The company was struggling to connect teams for critical meetings, while senior leaders and product/R&D staff were spending too much time and money traveling between locations. Tata Communications provided its jamvee™ Unified Conferencing solution to address this challenge.

Tata Communications implemented jamvee™ across Bata’s key facilities with a pilot in multiple countries before expanding to 16 countries and beyond, enabling secure video collaboration on a global cloud network. The result was a 40% cut in travel costs in the first year, about $300,000 saved, and a 400% ROI, while also improving productivity, reliability, and business agility across Bata’s worldwide operations.
