Background
Imthurn AG, a family-run business established in the construction sector for over 50 years, faced the challenge of digitising, improving and streamlining various work processes and internal communication.
As staff are spread across various building sites on a daily basis, traditional channels of information and communication often proved inefficient and time-consuming. There was a need for a solution that could facilitate real-time communication and make collaboration easier.

Solution & Project
The implementation of Beekeeper was the ideal solution for Imthurn AG. The user-friendly platform enables staff to communicate in real time, exchange information and receive updates at any time. Features such as group chats, digital processes and task management boost efficiency and connect teams across different construction sites. Beekeeper quickly became the go-to platform for day-to-day work and achieved a 100% activation rate.
The implementation began with a careful analysis of Imthurn AG’s specific requirements. The Beekeeper platform’s customisability ensured seamless integration into workflows. Training and support during the roll-out phase helped employees quickly familiarise themselves with the new solution.
Results
The results are impressive: faster communication, increased efficiency in the coordination of tasks and projects, and a noticeable enthusiasm for using Beekeeper amongst the Teams. These days, duty rosters are published, machine instructions are made available, surveys are shared and various processes are handled digitally.
A concrete example of this optimisation is the equipment loan process. In the machinery store, a QR code can now simply be scanned to register the equipment. This means that Imthurn AG always has an overview of where equipment is located, as well as data on how frequently it is used. The app has not only transformed the way work is done, but has also improved staff satisfaction and productivity.
