Find out how Stahlbau Magdeburg digitized its contract management with ContractHero - and not only saved time, but also gained transparency and control over all contracts.
Stahlbau Magdeburg is a traditional company based in Saxony-Anhalt that specializes in high-quality steel and plant construction. The company has been realizing complex construction projects for customers in industry, energy supply and infrastructure for over 60 years. Its services range from planning and production to the assembly of large steel structures.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and many years of experience, Stahlbau Magdeburg stands for reliability, precision and quality "Made in Germany". Whether bridges, halls or special structures - the company offers tailor-made solutions for demanding projects. Customers particularly appreciate the partnership-based cooperation and on-time implementation.
Isolated solutions lead to confusion.
No centralized management of contract documents.
Paper filing systems in different locations prevent a digital & hybrid way of working.
We were looking for an intuitive and user-friendly tool for centralized management of contract documents. Our needs included ease of use and scalable functionality at the same time. After numerous presentations and tests of different products, we found that many tools were either too complicated or did not offer the expected functionality. In addition, cost was a factor. Some products demanded high annual fees. However, ContractHero was able to convince us all along the line. Its ease of use, powerful features and attractive price-performance ratio made it the ideal solution for our requirements.
ContractHero's solution offered us an attractive price-performance ratio without sacrificing performance.
Firstly, the company operates in a highly competitive market in which it is important to win tenders and meet high quality standards. This requires innovation and further development in order to remain competitive. Secondly, the field of activity is very diverse and Stahlbau Magdeburg has proven that it is able to adapt to difficult times while looking positively to the future. In addition, the projects are interesting, such as the construction of bridges that have to be welded with millimeter precision.
The use of ContractHero was set up individually for us. It starts with the training of all our employees and is gradually implemented from department to department. As a bridge builder, we have to meet very high safety and quality standards, which must also be verified by certificates. We are therefore currently using ContractHero for framework agreements and to record certificates in order to obtain an overview of their validity period. In the next phases, other departments will be integrated and additional contract categories will be added to ContractHero.
At Stahlbau Magdeburg, we were faced with the challenge of managing our contracts efficiently and clearly. With physical folders and unclear expiration dates, it was difficult to maintain an overview. However, the implementation of ContractHero brought a significant improvement. ContractHero allows us to create customized fields and filter data, which in combination with other tools allows for deeper analysis. An additional feature we particularly appreciated with ContractHero was the ability to capture and analyze the assessment of contracts with individual fields. This makes decisions about quality and reliability much easier.
I want to sit down at my computer and have the information ready. I don't feel like clicking through documents and folders with 12 file paths.
In our pioneering work with the software, we quickly moved into the "beta phase" despite the lack of specific workflows. The results so far, especially the more efficient contract creation and management, have met my personal expectations. Thanks to the quick and uncomplicated support so far, I am relaxed about any questions that may arise in the future. The collaboration is efficient and we are looking forward to the next phases of optimization. Many thanks to the whole team, cooperation is fun!
Amidst uncertainties, we have been planning the future and further development of our company. ContractHero helps us manage these changes and make our work more efficient.
Digital: Modern and optimized contract management
Reporting: Individual data filtering and analysis options
Supportive: Proactive detection and management of contract processes
Extensive: Versatile use for important contract documents of all kinds
Simple: Intuitive application with clear dashboard for efficient workflows
The application and the dashboard are so simple and unimposing that you can focus on the essentials. At the same time, it is so intuitive that you have many options.
To this Thomas adds: "With the implementation of ContractHero, we have created a central and digital repository of all contracts, which has significantly improved clarity and makes it much easier to find specific contract information. ContractHero's intuitive dashboard provides us with the ability to keep track of contract expirations and respond in a timely manner to expiring contracts and certificates. It has helped us to make our contract management efficient and effective.
We will continue to work intensively on digitization, both in manufacturing and in administration. In doing so, we will rely on cloud solutions and strive for central data storage and improved data analysis. Our goal is to make significant progress by the end of 2023. We also plan to expand our product portfolio and use renewable energy sources. With regard to sustainability, we would like to look into purchasing green steel.
