Companies that are already gaining the benefits
Midwest Packaging is a leading packaging solutions provider. Their challenge was high employee turnover and a training process that was difficult to scale. IMEC and Softweb designed and implemented a Learning Management System (LMS) that integrates with their existing tools, streamlines onboarding, and helps managers track performance in real time. The system facilitates faster training, improved confidence in employee development, and a 40% reduction in onboarding time.
Hennig is a global manufacturer, specializing in machine protection, facility safety, and chip and coolant management solutions. They wanted a solution to help their sales team reduce the time it takes to close deals and give customers a better view of their products. IMEC and Softweb built an augmented reality CPQ app that allows sales reps to show 3D models of conveyors right in the customer’s facility. With real-time quoting and visualization, Hennig’s sales cycle is now 30% faster, requiring fewer in-person visits and increasing customer trust.
