La digitalizzazione ha bisogno di sostenitori che lottano per ottenere il massimo. Dennis Sandig lavora di solito come punto di contatto che media tra reparti specializzati e team di sviluppo. Racconta la sua esperienza da MAPAL.

"Costruiamo punti di contatto digitali per tutti i nostri clienti. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di fornire davvero ad ogni cliente il corretto accesso alla nostra azienda", spiega Dennis Sandig.
Laureato in informatica aziendale, è impiegato da MAPAL come Application Manager ed è coinvolto in progetti di digitalizzazione a più livelli. Dallo sviluppo alla qualità dei prodotti, fino alla collaborazione con clienti e partner, il processo di digitalizzazione coinvolge tutti i settori dell'azienda. Dennis ne conosce quindi molto bene i diversi obiettivi e le sfide. Attualmente ricopre il ruolo di Product Owner in un progetto di Commerce Cloud. Nell’ambito dell’ampio rilancio della presenza online di MAPAL, il suo obiettivo si concentra su gestione dei dati master, implementazione delle interfacce, nonché garanzia di massima fruibilità.

"Pensavo: ‘ah sì, MAPAL, quelli dei trapani’. La realtà è che l’alto livello di specializzazione della gamma di prodotti non può davvero essere descritto a parole."

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.”
