An innovative concept to provide service to customers in remote areas was introduced by Sharjah Chamber of Commerce (SCC) as part of the ongoing UAE Innovation Week.
'Business on Wheels', displayed in the SCC pavilion at Sharjah Expo Centre, is intended to help customers after office hours in an emergency.
The van has been turned into a small executive office with enough space for four-five people to sit and discuss their req-uirements and solve problems immediately. The van, fitted with a telephone, a fax machine, scanner and printer, is also connected to the head-office through WiFi .
Samira Ali Ahmed Ali of SCCI said that service is introduced as a trial to test how a well-equipped office van can serve as a sustainable means for SCCI customers living in remote areas, who spend significant time in traffic.
She said that initially the mobile office will be available during office hours throughout weekdays and on Thursdays, after office hours as well, to serve customers who need our services in emergency. However, it may be extended to all seven days of the week and on holidays as well at a later stage.
"This mobile office was developed based on a technical and functional analysis. We have got five such vehicles ready to serve customers from January 2017. I am confident that this mobile office will reduce customers' worry to get our services in remote areas, help them cut the stress of traffic jams, as well as reduce crowd at the head office too," she added.
