Digital Transformation at John Cockerill

To accelerate its Digital Transformation, John Cockerill asked Business Elements to help developing rapidly new business Applications.

From building apps to building an Apps Factory

Together, John Cockerill and Business Elements developed the vision of a hub of tailor-made business applications where every employee can introduce a request to transform a business process into an app.

Watch our customer, John Cockerill, explaining how, thanks to Microsoft Power Apps and the Catalyst Approach, Business Elements helped them easily and rapidly creating tailor-made business apps.

Bye-bye paperwork and wastes of time, employees can now concentrate on tasks with higher added-value.

Let's dive deeper in some of the first apps:

  • DigiFleet enables every employee to select and order his/her company car in a few taps;

  • DigiContract streamlines the hiring of temporary workers in a mobile app;
  • DigiTime is a digital punch-clock for people working on sites;
  • DigiNDA automatises and centralises Non Discolure Agreements (NDA) in a central mobile application;
  • DigiLunch centralises all lunch orderings into one company-wide app.
