CCS and GSC Logistics Use MSP Infrastructure Upgrade to Help Attain Company Growth Targets and Higher Profits

(SAN RAMON, CA) Clare Computer Solutions (CCS), a professional services firm providing IT solutions for companies in the San Francisco Bay area since 1990, has been working with GSC Logistics for many years helping them improve their IT infrastructure, which has resulted in several benefits for the client. 

GSC Logistics, Inc., located in the East Bay and founded in 1988, began as a drayage services company to importers and exporters in the Bay Area. Since then they have expanded their scope of expertise to include not only drayage but over the road, cross-dock deconsolidation and transloading services in the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest.

Today GSC Logistics offers proactive communication and precision when it comes to their logistics services and a number of major companies are long-term clients.

Clare Computer Solutions (CCS) was brought in to discuss some of the performance issues that the company had with their existing technology, as well as to offer their expertise in developing an improved overall engineering plan for the company that would enable them to reach their target growth. According to GSC’s Director of IT, Jeff Tanner, “We had a few hurdles to cross getting our CFO on board with an aggressive timeline for handling these technology issues, but eventually we collectively agreed that the time to improve our business had come and we worked with CCS to develop a plan for us to achieve our goals: efficiency, security and higher performance with redundant systems to ensure that our systems would work under any circumstances.

“It took CCS about a year and a half to take our company’s technology infrastructure from where we started to having a technology infrastructure that truly improves our performance and helps our bottom line”, said Tanner. “We are very hands on with our IT, yet we have been a CCS NetCentral (managed services) client for 8 years and this has helped our business tremendously. We feel we have a true partner with CCS and they’ve proven themselves over and over that they deserve our trust.”

CCS is actively involved in the relationship with GSC Logistics. Their network is monitored 24 x 7 and a ticketing system (used by both GSC and CCS) ensures that all issues are addressed quickly. There is a scheduled call every week to discuss any issues that might be cropping up. They receive monthly reports on the overall “health” of their network and CCS works with them annually to plan their IT budget for the coming year. 

Clare Computer Solutions consults with companies by assessing their infrastructure, disaster recovery and business continuity needs. In addition, CCS reviews applications and workloads that run their businesses, then our consultants develop a program based upon the right approach to meet the company’s risk, needs, and specific objectives.
