Efficiency meets innovation: Digital construction site processes with Hörmann and SAP BTP
Sectors: Construction supplier industry
Processes: Intralogistics, Service & Support, Sales, Finance & Controlling
Duration of webinar: approx. 45 minutes
The InnovationLab Couchinar: Knowledge – Practice – Dialogue. Live on SAP BTP
This live format is not a classic webinar. In a relaxed atmosphere, end customers, ORBIS project managers, and SAP specialists openly discuss real side-by-side projects, their challenges, and key learnings – without sales slides, without buzzwords. The dialogue is complemented by a live demo of the app, showing how digital construction site processes truly work in practice.
In this edition, we take you directly onto the construction site and demonstrate how digital measurement, documentation, and feedback processes have been successfully implemented at Hörmann – as a side-by-side app on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), seamlessly integrated into the existing SAP landscape.
When efficiency meets innovation – Rethinking digital construction site processes with Hörmann
Construction projects are complex. Information is created at many points – in sales, project management, on the construction site, and during installation.
The central question is: How can data be captured where it is created – and transferred into the SAP world without detours, media disruption, or additional effort?
The Hörmann Group, one of the leading providers of high-quality doors and gates, tackled exactly this challenge.
The answer is a mobile side by side app, developed on SAP Business Technology Platform. It supports site managers in their daily work – for measurements, defect documentation, and, in the future, report creation – without modifying the SAP core, yet fully integrated into the SAP process landscape.
In this couchinar, we show what a fully end-to-end digital construction site process looks like – from data capture on a mobile device to downstream processing in the SAP system.
