Hilti
Automation successful
The challenge
Due to Hilti's dynamic growth, the manual effort had become too great. Most documents were still circulated internally by hand. In addition, the complex internal processes were putting too much strain on human resources. The challenge was therefore to standardize the processes and digitize them as comprehensively as possible. At the same time, the aim was to overcome unnecessary complexity and significantly increase transparency. The goals are in three words: faster, better, and more efficient.
