Würth helps employees
make connections
The brand-new WOOGLE intranet we have developed for Würth Belux has everything they need to share news with colleagues, connect departments and share documents: basically a well-functioning internal communication flow. You can even use it to order lunch.
Need for new platform
When the challenge is facilitating interaction between different departments in your organisation, ensuring the right people are able to find each other and share the information they need, an intranet is the ideal solution. But the one used at assembly and attachment specialist Würth Belux was increasingly showing its limitations. As a result, staff were using it less and less. Time for something new, then.
UX key to WOOGLE
After a thorough analysis our Dev&Tech team got to work on developing a brand-new intranet for Würth. Listening to the client, it was clear that login and password issues were the cause of most frustration. An Active Directory link was the solution. But we didn’t stop there. We prioritized a pleasant user experience in the design phase. After login, each employee is directed to a personal dashboard and addressed by their first name.
Engaging features include a mood barometer, a birthday calendar and fun facts. Need to order lunch? Check the newsfeed? Like posts of colleagues or post something yourself? See what’s trending on the Würth socials and what activities are coming up over the next few weeks? The WOOGLE dashboard is the place to be! Notifications keep everyone up to speed on the latest developments.
Valuable work tool
The platform is not only fun, it’s also a practical tool for sharing information and documents, retrieving the contact details of colleagues in the who’s who, and saving the docs and contacts a user needs most. There’s also a clutter-busting need-to-know option, where information is shared only with members of a specific user group.
"We made sure the new platform was user-friendly and added some fun extras."
Accessible on all devices
WOOGLE is device-agnostic and is available in a PWA version for desktops, iOS and Android. That’s no luxury, as it’s used a lot by sales reps, who can quickly check documents on their tablet or smartphone when they are on the road. Always connected.
