Gebauer & Griller (GG Group) is a premier global manufacturer of cables, wires and cable harnesses. Its products are in most of today’s vehicles and many of the world’s elevators, transformers, motors and photovoltaic arrays.
With 4,500 employees across the globe, GG Group opened in 1940 as a family-run trading agency for raw materials and semi-finished products. It has since expanded its product lines and office locations into 13 different locations including the United States, Germany, India, China and Mexico.
With support from its local partner, Smartpoint IT Consulting, GG has propelled efficiency and profitability by streamlining and automating several of its key business functions with Nintex Automation K2.
Faster budgeting, faster business decisions
Challenge: Wasting time chasing down project status
Like many organizations, GG Group often relied on spreadsheets and paper forms to prepare budgets and allocate resources. This siloed approach lacked visibility and forced managers to hold weekly status meetings to keep projects on track—further wasting valuable time.
Employees maintained various methods of project management, which gave a fragmented view of GG Group’s operations.
Solution: Instant visibility
Nintex Automation K2 accelerated the financial approval process that drove up to 500 budget requests each year across the globe.
The company cut half the time off its investment requests process, enabling GG Group to save an enormous number of employee hours each year. They are more productive and spend far less time in status meetings, making phone calls, and sending emails.
Faster business decisions have given GG Group a competitive edge. It has allowed for more strategic funding allocation in critical areas such as production line maintenance and new projects and given leaders instant visibility into operations.
