Solutions and services are delivered through the company’s very own engineering staff.

The company is also undertaking specialized electrical engineering projects of all scales including major scale solar power farms.

Now let’s have a look at Electro-Serv’s competitors

One is, Brand Partners’ Competitors Some of the company’s primary product brands are Schneider Electric, SMC, Hensel, Foxtam, TOHO, Line Seiki, HPL, and Taiwan Meters. Brand competitors are the main competitor brands who competes with company’s major brands at a global level.

YouTube channel of Electro-Serv is up and running and currently contains the visual profile of the company. Channel is not currently linked with the website and the followership and the viewership is at the low mainly due to lack of promoting of the resource and the lack of content. YouTube is a highly useful digital tool in the context of Electro-Serv as tutorials, product demos, system demos, major project covers, advertisements, etc… can be pushed to the target markets with high efficiency through YouTube compared to other media.

Automating marketing activities increases the productivity of the organisation as well as can boost customer experience.
