What if NASCAR’s workflows were as fast as their cars? See how ServiceNow makes it happen!
For fans to enjoy the thrill and excitement of NASCAR races, it takes more than just 40 cars on the track. Behind the scenes, there’s a massive effort to move employees, merchandise, trailers, cameras, and more from one track to another. To keep everything coordinated, on time, and in the right place, a powerful platform is needed to centralize all that data. That’s where ServiceNow comes in.
Let’s explore the logistical and technological challenges NASCAR faces and how ServiceNow helped them overcome these obstacles efficiently.
The Challenges NASCAR Faced
1. Constant Movement
With races held 36 weekends a year, NASCAR needed to coordinate thousands of personnel and resources across various locations. This constant movement required precise logistical planning and execution to avoid any hiccups that could disrupt the race schedule.
2. Outdated Processes
Legacy manual processes were slowing down efficiency and productivity. These processes often involved paper-based systems and manual data entry, leading to errors and delays that were no longer acceptable in the fast-paced world of NASCAR.
3. Engagement
Maintaining communication, especially with deskless employees, was essential for operational success. Many team members work trackside or are constantly on the move, making it challenging to keep everyone informed and connected.
