E.ON Inhouse Consulting (ECON) is the internal management consultancy of the E.ON Group, headquartered in Essen, Germany. With around 100 consultants, it is one of the leading internal management consulting companies in Europe and is the preferred strategy and implementation partner for E.ON management.
The key challenge solved with Vertec is implementing the staffing process. This means assigning suitable employees to projects based on project requirements such as availability or employee preferences. The management states satisfied:
«For us, staffing is a very individual and critical process. vertec was able to map this without any problems.»
Due to the adaptability and flexibility of Vertec, the decision was made to replace the existing business software with Vertec. The goal of the change was to map all the key value-added processes of the organization within Vertec. Although Vertec has only been in use at ECON since spring 2021, the CRM and ERP software is already enjoying a high level of acceptance among the workforce: Essential processes such as service recording, project accounting and staffing are available in just one system and the employees are actively involved in the further development of the system.
«Vertec enjoys a high level of acceptance within the company.»
Given the given size of the company and its business activity, many business trips are part of the daily business. Vertec also supports this. Under the working title “Paperless travel expenses”, ECON is striving not only to optimize travel expense reports, but also to digitalize them. Employee enters travel expenses and individual receipts directly in Vertec or with the Vertec Phone App . The management and audit of this expense shall be assisted by the additional feature "travel costs" , which extends the basic functionality of Vertec free of charge.
A key element of the ECON culture is the continuous development of employees through systematic feedback. Feedback and performance evaluation are based on reciprocity. The employee receives evaluations, but supervisors can also give development feedback on development in the form of so-called upward feedback.
Both ways are implemented in Vertec through free text and pre-defined selection fields.
ECON therefore benefits from Vertec in many ways. A major advantage offered by the business software is always apparent in terms of flexibility, as Arne Schulte concludes:
«The flexibility of Vertec allows us to map the functionalities of our day-to-day business in just one system.»
