Winkelbauer: Digitalization hard as steel

Winkelbauer developed from the traditional forge into one of the leading manufacturers of work tools and machine components made of steel. Our job was to find the right digital tools for the company.

Task

Winkelbauer already started their digitalization initiative and was looking for centralized CRM software & PIM/CPQ solution. At Fraiss IT we heeded the call and went on a search.

Tech stack

The problem

Any business with a longstanding history has accumulated unnecessary legacy issues over the course of time. An in-depth analysis of existing structures and technologies provided the necessary overview to better understand whether and how these structures can be of further use.

The solution

These existing structures informed use cases and an RFI (Request for Information) during the requirements engineering phase. These documents allowed for the evaluation of a large number of potential suppliers, which ultimately resulted in concrecte supplier recommendations.

Conclusion
