How do you instantly communicate with each and every frontline employee? How does your message get across in the wholesale and retail industry with a dispersed workforce?
Hear from Siewert & Kau about how an employee communications app helped to quickly and efficiently reach their frontline workers. Siewert & Kau partnered with Speakap to create a mobile-first branded employee engagement platform that mirrors the organization's structure and helps every employee connect.

We had eight apps to choose from. At the end of the day, we picked Speakap because it was very important to us to communicate with each other outside the department as well as within the department, and because it is more user-friendly since not everyone is so social media savvy.
Papy Tusevo
Warehouse employee
I have been with Siewert & Kau for 18 years. I didn't want to sign up at first. People always came and asked if I had seen this or that. Then I said, okay, I'll sign up too. I like it because of the information. You get a lot of information - from the management, from the service, from the warehouse. It’s just great.
Aleksandra Karwat
Warehouse employee
Before we had a lot of notices, on notice boards, and now all the information is in this app. We are well informed now. Not all employees in the warehouse have an email address and they can also use the app on the move.

Assistant to Head of Sales Germany
What is still important to us as Siewert & Kau is definitely the networking between the locations. We have different locations and each location gets information about what is happening at other branches. In Bergheim, we are currently building a new warehouse. We are getting visual material bit by bit and can simply see what the process is like on site. The fact that the exchange happens visually, i.e. via photos and videos, has made it more tangible.

I would definitely recommend such an app for medium-sized companies, especially in logistics. It brings a lot to team building and information exchange on a certain level.

Junior Key Account Manager
Internally, Speakap has changed communication, both within and outside of the departments. We now have more communication with the warehouse and we also hear about new employees being hired at other locations.
Janine Hansmann
Assistant to Head of Sales Germany
It helps us as Siewert & Kau to express appreciation, to pass it on to our employees, and also to give them a platform.

Speakap is also very good for us as a company, because we now feel much freer to communicate with each other and everything is not so rigid. So we exist more as a family and no longer just as employees or colleagues. Speakap really brings us together as a company and has become like a digital home for us.
