Duff Sweepers Ltd faces significant challenges in the global market, primarily serving clients in Europe, the USA, and Japan. With a workforce of 150 in Falkirk and 70 across other regions, the company struggles with outdated sales systems reliant on faxed orders, inadequate e-marketing, slow response to technological changes, and poor stock control. To remain competitive, they must implement modern solutions like a computer-based part ordering system, enhance communication between employees, and address risks in project implementation.
