Compliance: Systems must be in compliance with international standards, particularly environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, to ensure regulatory compliance.
Service and support: Strong after-sales service and customer support are critical for maintaining system performance and minimising downtime.
Cost efficiency: Solutions should be scalable and cost-effective for both small and large businesses, providing maximum value.
