Reliable information and transparency in communication are decisive factors for a quick and agile reaction to customer needs. Therefore, NOVOPLAST relies on modern web-based communication technologies, which enable virtual collaboration in a team with little effort. As a result, the customer benefits from a dynamic drive within the project management, as the cross-departmental tasks can be solved by the NOVOPLAST team regardless of location and time.
Communication as a reflection of the corporate culture
At NOVOPLAST they are convinced that digital tools represent a fundamental foundation on the way to a modern and transparent company. Not only do they make collaboration easier, they also promote solidarity.
The year 2020 posed great challenges for many companies in countless industries. The pandemic has changed how companies use technology and how employees and customers use it. Even before the pandemic, NOVOPLAST invested in new communication tools in order to create more transparency and simplicity. Investments that have shown themselves to be extremely valuable and profitable for NOVOPLAST, especially as a result of the pandemic.
Slack - the central solution for collaboration
The lack of transparency in sending emails represents the hierarchical flow of information in stuck organisations - and thus the exact opposite of the modern, self-reliant organisation of tomorrow.
With the introduction of Slack, NOVOPLAST has raised communication to a new level of transparency. Thanks to central locations for conversations, files, tools and people, collaboration between employees and with customers is optimally organised at NOVOPLAST. With the modern functions of Slack, everyone can decide, vote and interact. There is a different form of trust and transparency.
Task management with Trello
NOVOPLAST works with the web-based project management solution "Trello" for internal task management. This allows tasks to be managed, prioritised and controlled, alone or in a team. The basis for all activities is the so-called Trello board, on which lists and cards are used. Similar to the Kanban board, the board in Trello shows live at a glance which tasks have just been completed and what is coming up next. This gives NOVOPLAST great transparency and efficiency in teamwork. In this way, information that is otherwise only in your personal email inbox or on your own PC is made visible and accessible to everyone in the team.
Miro - the digital whiteboard
