Digitalization for people – not for machines

Digitalization is not an end in itself. Yet many treat it exactly that way. Some chase after every new trend. Others build systems that become ever more complex – and ever harder to use.

From paper chaos to smart maintenance: how digitalization is revolutionizing service processes

Simply digital? Theory vs. reality. In theory, digitalizing service and maintenance processes is simple: machines, sensors, or ERP systems capture conditions, flag deviations, and automatically trigger maintenance procedures. An employee receives a notification, fixes the problem – done. But the reality in many SMEs looks different. Processes are still documented with Excel spreadsheets or even…
