Probat SE

Digital maturity analysis - PROBAT SE

Machine and plant engineering for the coffee and food industry - PROBAT SE, headquartered in Emmerich, is the global market leader in this field. A lot has happened since the "Emmerich ball roaster" in 1870: 1,000 employees in more than 40 countries are committed to "future-proof solutions for your coffee".
The company's digital transformation process should also be future-proof - so that PROBAT SE's brand mission, "Future-proof solutions for your coffee", continues to be realised.

Anchoring the digital

How far has digitalisation progressed in different areas of the internationally active PROBAT SE? How can digitalisation be anchored in the organisation in the long term? - With these main questions in mind, our digital strategists set about systematically analysing the current situation in an audit.

Of course, this involved technologies and innovation opportunities, but the focus was also on the organisational culture and, in particular, the people: after all, user-centric methods, processes and projects should support the success of the transformation and, in conjunction with a visualised data evaluation, lead to strategic decisions.

Getting everyone on board

In order to utilise the knowledge of the employees and involve everyone, the survey phase began with a quantitative survey and selected qualitative interviews. In conjunction with the results of an analysis of the environment and selected competitors, we developed initial solution approaches.

Off to new digital shores!

Recommendations for measures in various areas of potential, presented in our results document on the company's digital maturity level, now form the basis for targeted steps on the path to digital transformation. Sensitive change communication will continue to pick up and involve everyone involved.

The fact that this was successful in the first step, that our digital maturity analysis was fun for those involved and brought new insights, is not only demonstrated by the positive feedback: The central question "What does PROBAT stand for in the digital age?" has already opened up new perspectives and triggered initial change processes.
