Thanks to the swift actions taken by GDS, the insurance company was able to avoid the devastating consequences of a cyber attack. The phishing email, if successful, could have led to ransomware demands that would reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, not to mention the disruption to operations, lost client trust, and long-term reputational damage.
By intervening before the attack could take hold, GDS saved the insurance company over $270,000 in potential business disruption, ransom payment, and recovery costs. Additionally, the company's data remained secure, and they were able to continue serving their clients without any service interruption.
A leading trades and construction company struggled with timesheet accuracy, onsite monitoring, fleet management, and ensuring staff were billing clients correctly while staying productive. These inefficiencies led to unnecessary costs, inaccurate payroll, and challenges in workforce oversight. They needed a solution to optimize staff efficiency and streamline their entire operation.
One challenge was integrating the app with various third-party fleet management and payroll systems. By working closely with vendors, we ensured seamless real-time data flow, eliminating the need for manual inputs. Additionally, refining the geo-fencing feature required careful calibration to ensure staff could accurately clock in without false restrictions.
Constantly monitored the client's network and email communications for suspicious activity.
Isolated the phishing email and prevented access to malicious links.
Provided training to staff to increase awareness of phishing threats and how to spot them in the future.
Following its success, the company recognized the app's potential beyond just their business. They are now offering the subscription-based app to other trades industries, including construction, plumbing, electrical, and landscaping. Businesses can now subscribe on a monthly or yearly basis to optimize workforce productivity, streamline payroll, and maximize efficiency—creating a passive income stream while helping other trades businesses boost their profitability.
