The Klingele Group is one of the leading independent manufacturers of paper, corrugated cardboard packaging solutions and adhesives with sites in Europe, Central America and Africa.
Founded in 1920, the company has an annual turnover of 860 million €, 2.500 employees, and its market share represents the 5% of the corrugated cardboard production in Germany. In 2020, Klingele is also celebrating its 100th anniversary. One of its trademarks has been focusing not only on the quality of their corrugated board and packaging, but also on the good teamwork within their company. And this is where digital signatures have also helped the group to create new perspectives for their future.
The company is using since 2 years ago the service of Biometric signature on Tablet for its daily operations in Germany, Spain, and Cuba.
THE CHALLENGE
The Klingele plant in Santa Cruz de Tenerife produces packaging for agriculture, fishing and the local industry, and also exports to the Klingele plants in Mauritania. As a dynamic supplier of packaging solutions and corrugated paper, they asked one of their TIC partners, Inerza, for a modern technology to solve this.
Inerza has already developed a whole portfolio of solutions for the logistics sector that facilitates the necessary infrastructure to achieve its business objectives and increase its efficiency. The ultimate goal was always to minimize costs and maximize results. And they both placed great value on sustainable processes.
"We needed to adapt the company to a digital process and of course to give agility to the signature processes, regardless of the hourly availability of the personnel involved".
Gladys Ortega Pérez, Head of Administration of Klingele-Canarias
THE SOLUTION
Through the integration of VIDsigner’s digital signature with Inerza, the Klingele Group was able to adapt their document management and agreements quickly and safely.
“The process was simple, we only had to agree on policies between the different departments and the roles of the signants to start working fluently and improving the processes”, noted Gladys Ortega.
THE RESULTS
The Klingele Group and Inerza have succeeded in integrating this service to their departments and the solution has drastically reduced the use of paper, enabling the employees to spend more time on processes of higher value.
“We have gained in operational agility, and we have reduced the handling of documents and administrative procedures”, says Gladys Ortega.
