Creativity 365 Business Volkswagen user story

Volkswagen Follow Me TaiwanAs the world’s largest automakers, Volkswagen sold over 10.3 million vehicles worldwide in 2016. To support its global business and manage its daily operations, VW needs advanced processing systems and tools to ensure smooth operations. In this User Story, we are honored to be featuring a very special guest, Kevin Chen, General Manager at VW Follow Me in Taiwan. He shares with us the challenges he faces and how Creativity 365TM Business  tools help solve issues, increase productivity and improve internal communications and team work at his company.

Mobility is the key to sustaining competitive advantage

In the daily business operations of the sales team at Volkswagen, a large portion of the routine tasks involves structured documentation of information. At times, it could be challenging to keep up with the documentation and have access to folders when the team is on the road visiting customers. Such issues could set back one’s speed in completing a task, thus affecting one’s working efficiency. Therefore, it is important for the team to be able to carry out routine and urgent tasks no matter where they are.

At Volkswagen, a lot of documents are in the form of PDF. Regardless of whether it is a purchasing contract, a document for sales orders, insurance policies or internal processes, PDF files are an integral part of operational processes. Chen shares that despite how PDF files are widely used in his company, there are certain limitations to some PDF software when used remotely due to licensing constraints. 

“To ensure that my sales team has the right set-up to work effectively, I had to find a solution that supports the need of remote documentation and safe file transfer,” Chen adds.

General Manager Kevin Chen: “Using Creativity 365 helped save up to 82% on licensing costs. It is a holistic solution for any device on any platform.”

A few months ago, Chen introduced Creativity 365TM Business to his team to help improve productivity. This in turn also assisted the company to step towards a paperless office. Let’s discover how Creativity 365TM Business helps them.
