PC Arts Argentina transforms its post-sales services with Oracle
PC Arts Argentina reduces equipment repair time, cuts costs, and boosts Customer Experience with Oracle.
Founded in 1998, PC Arts Argentina is a manufacturer of personal and business computers and accessories, headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The company imports and produces computer components locally in its three branches in Córdoba, Mendoza, and Buenos Aires.
As the business expanded, PC Arts Argentina realized it was crucial to enhance its post-sales department by automating services, improving component traceability on repair processes, and ensuring client satisfaction. To accomplish these goals, it was crucial to adopt a modern and robust platform that would make the entire process more efficient and increase the company’s brand value.
“Oracle Service Cloud automated the entire equipment repair record, which gave us full visibility of all steps and helped us identify and solve bottlenecks. The results came in above our expectations: we reduced costs by 40%, expedited the repair process by 35%, and have much happier customers.”
Business challenges
- Improve component traceability on repair processes, having a precise view of all stages
- Reduce equipment repair time and enhance customer experience

The entire implementation process took four months, plus one-month of additional support after we went live. We had no issues during this time—the whole process went smoothly and on schedule.
