Duration: Sherlock Waste system was implemented in November 2020
In November 2021, we celebrated the first year of cooperation with Kramp. The company has an open organisational culture and building relationships based on commitment inscribed in its DNA.
Before implementing Sherlock Waste, Kramp was using a different suggestion system that did not live up to expectations. The number of notifications and resolved problems did not reach the expected level. Also, the rate of unhandled notifications was too high, which resulted in decreasing employee engagement. In the light of Kramp’s past experiences, we knew we faced the challenge of restoring trust in the suggestion system among the company employees.
We started our cooperation with a pilot project in selected teams. Its results were above expectations, so in the next stage, the company decided to cover its entire structure with the program. This is how we build our common history today – we deliver engaging technology, while Kramp squeezes the best out of it by creating innovative solutions and improving processes, products and services.
During one year 5 times more ideas were submitted and the company implemented 300 ideas more than in the previous suggestion system for 2 years.
The company’s values are built on four pillars – commitment, cooperation, putting customer satisfaction first and supporting pro-innovation attitudes. Kramp saw the potential of the app to support and make better use of each of them.
Stage 1:
Customer needs analysis.
Stage 2:
Workshops, within which the goals of the implementation and its scope were set, and the data necessary to configure the application for the company were acquired.
Stage 3:
A pilot project involving 288 employees from Logistics and Retail departments (10 Grene stores).
Stage 4:
Multi-channel information campaign (e.g. Intranet, internal forum, Yammer, Kramp TV)
Stage 5:
Implementation of the Sherlock Waste application in the entire company with 582 employees.
Stage 6:
Maintaining employee engagement.
Undoubtedly, the biggest challenge was to restore trust in the suggestion system and boost the morale of employees who felt frustrated. In order to achieve this, at the stage of preparation for the pilot project, we cooperated with Kramp to develop goals and indicators that will prove the success of the implementation.
A key issue was also to improve the flow of information about problems between the company’s branches and Grene stores. The nature of the suggestion system made this possible. Notifications in the application are visible to all employees, no matter where they are, and the tool itself enables internal communication.
