Leeb Balkone: Digital Communication With Manufacturing Employees

How do you reach frontline workers across the manufacturing floor? How does important and time-sensitive information reach the right person at the right time? 

Hear from Leeb Balkone about how an employee communications app helped to quickly and efficiently reach their frontline workers with relevant and targeted information. Leeb Balkone partnered with Speakap to create a mobile-first branded employee engagement platform that mirrors the organization's structure and helps every employee connect in real-time.

Managing Director

My name is Markus Leeb. I am the Managing Director of Leeb Balkone and responsible for the entire management of the company. Our challenges were simply around accessibility. Meaning that it was difficult  to reach all those without an email or a desktop.

Speakap helps us  get information to the employees in a targeted way.

Günther Aigner
Production Manager

In our production, and before Speakap, we worked a lot with slips of paper. It was insanely tedious to get the information to every employee. Now we have the big advantage of being paperless, like our whole production process which is also paperless, bringing up-to-date information directly to the people.

Alexander Bernold 
Head of Marketing

The added value is quite clear. We achieve the goal much faster, in terms of communication.

A big advantage is that you can send files in a targeted way for example assembly instructions or technical leaflets can be uploaded into the employee app. You have a data management system and you can share the information in a targeted manner to the right people.

In my opinion the usability of Speakap is very simple and intuitive. You don't really need any training, to make posts, to create news, to create events. It's all really self-explanatory and anyone who has a desktop or can operate a mobile phone, can find his way around Speakap without much training.

We are a very democratic company. For example, we choose the company holidays together. That means that there is a poll and the employees get to decide. For example, we have already asked about company holidays for next summer. Without it we would have to work with a voting box or something similar. Now it’s simple. I just put it on Speakap and we're done.
