Manufacturers of building technology equipment need to differentiate themselves from the competition, retain customers and ensure business success, and all in a sustainable manner. Zühlke supports you in deploying new digital solutions and business models for focussing on the needs of users, installation companies and decision makers.
We have the experience to develop a ‘digital innovation’ model, independently or together with your own teams. Our portfolio includes diverse workshop formats, the creation of digitalisation and data strategies, and conception of digital services.
This is how we help you expand your market position, set yourself apart from the competition, monetise existing know-how, and achieve success in new ecosystems.
We have been applying the principles of Agile development to software projects for years, and have successfully transferred this method to the development of devices (hardware, mechanics and electronics).
This puts us in a unique position to help you achieve your digitalisation goals. We can effectively develop and industrialise networked digital (IoT) products and services in an agile way up to the point of mass production, in compliance with certification and regulation requirements, exactly as your market demands. We can also help you identify suitable partners for manufacture.
In this way, we ensure you get future-proof software and devices to market on time – either independently or working together with your team.
