Digital Transformation and how leadership makes a difference

Competing better with Digital Transformation

As a company, you must prepare for the future to stay ahead of your competitor in this game of catch up. The Swiss watch market is a good example. It did not see an immediate need for a digital transformation. Until Apple developed the smartwatch… and a year later, 50% of all watches were smartwatches. 

More complexity, less time

Products are increasingly complex. This transition is evident in the automotive industry. Some 30 years ago, it was all about the mechanics. Today, cars are packed full of electronics and software. 

We see the same trend in mechanical engineering. Manufacturing machinery is no longer enough. You must also be able to package your products. Specifically, you need robotisation to automate human tasks. Furthermore, despite products becoming increasingly complex, the market still expects fast delivery. 

Vision requires leadership

Digital transformation is an integral part of a company’s future vision and thus high on its agenda. The process is not just an exercise lasting a few months. It is a longer term commitment. It takes experience as well as dedication and perseverance.

New profit models

As a company, having your product data under control ensures you profit from after-sales services after delivering a machine. In other words, digital transformation also creates new profit models. There are many examples of companies already fully utilising these business models.

Partnership from start to finish

Innoptus assists companies with the digital transformation challenge. This goes beyond a customer-supplier relationship. It is a partnership in which a clear goal is paramount. 

We think along with you when you set out your vision and support you with the right solutions. We think at the strategic level about the product development process and we are also involved during the implementation phase. From idea to finished product. To this end, we engage a substantial team each with a specialisation that they continuously develop. 

As a consulting partner, we use high-end software. Software always helps us realise customer challenges.

Let’s take an example of when a customer wants to bring a headset to market. We guide them during the development phase. And then also collaborate on solutions on the road to production, supply chain and service.
