In just a few clicks to the material
The functionality is simple: By scanning a QR code, the app recognizes the material, the quantities can be specified individually within the application and submit. In this way the customer can initiate inquiries and orders mobile and with a few simple steps.
“Our customers wanted a mobile solution from us,” says Andreas Kellermann, branch manager of thyssenkrupp Schulte in Munich. “With easy supply, we have created another milestone for smart interaction with our customers, which makes their everyday work more comfortable. That way they can fully concentrate on their core business. “
For the development, Materials Services has relied on in-house expertise: The app was built by in-house developers and under the direction of the internal Digital Transformation Office. Subsequently, it was subjected to extensive tests at the Munich branch of thyssenkrupp Schulte, a Materials Services company. Munich is home to the Digital Garage, where a team of experts brings the company’s digital developments to market. The app has successfully passed this test phase and will now be rolled out to the other locations of the German materials dealer.
