La digitalización necesita controladores que aspiren al máximo. Dennis Sandig trabaja mayoritariamente en interfaces para la comunicación entre áreas especializadas y equipos de desarrollo. Él cuenta sus experiencias en MAPAL.

"Creamos puntos de contacto digitales para otros nuestros clientes. Nuestro objetivo es preparar de verdad el acceso adecuado a nuestra empresa para cada cliente", explica Dennis Sandig.
El licenciado en informática empresarial trabaja en MAPAL como Application Manager y está implicado en complejos proyectos de digitalización. Desde el desarrollo de los productos, pasando por la calidad de los productos, hasta la colaboración con clientes y socios, el proceso de digitalización está presente en todas las áreas de la empresa. Por ello, Dennis conoce muy bien los diferentes objetivos y desafíos. Actualmente tiene el puesto de Product Owner en un proyecto de Commerce Cloud. En el amplio relanzamiento de la presencia en línea completa de MAPAL, además de la administración de datos maestros y la implementación de interfaces, él está centrado especialmente en garantizar la mayor facilidad de uso posible.

"Pensé 'bueno, MAPAL, ellos fabrican unos cuantos taladros'. Pero de verdad he de decir que este nivel elevado de especialización en la gama de productos no se puede describir con palabras".

Having a broad and deep knowledge is desired

When Dennis applied to MAPAL, he wasn’t aware of the immense scope of MAPAL’s product portfolio: “I thought to myself: ‘Oh, yes, MAPAL. They produce some kind of drills’. But one must really say: This high level of specialisation in the product range cannot really be described in words.”
Despite or precisely because of the high level of specialisation in many areas, MAPAL has a desire for its workforce to acquire both broad and deep knowledge. This is why the internal academy adequately prepares ‘newcomers’ for the company and its products with its training programme. “You get a 14-day introduction to the MAPAL product world, which obviously is amazing, because how else would you build a shop system for products you are not familiar with?” According to Dennis Sandig, the mere fact that there is such extensive product training is a sign of the high esteem that MAPAL holds new employees in.

International team spirit

The diverse team, consisting of colleagues and service providers, not only works at the MAPAL headquarters in Aalen, but also in Bremen, Morocco, Spain or even further afield. In addition, this internationally tested way of working was certainly particularly advantageous during the lockdown period of the coronavirus pandemic. “Our development team are spread out all over the world anyway, so (sort of like before) we’ve been doing all our meetings online.”
In the meantime, Dennis has arrived well in the MAPAL world – not least thanks to the close cooperation within the teams, where they actively support each other. “It's really nice here at MAPAL. There’s always one person who can fully address a technical question, there is always someone to share something with. That’s the only way you can develop as well.”
