Case Study: Solvay achieves shop-floor digitalization and operational efficiency with AppSheet

Solvay and AppSheet The No-Code Approach to Digital Transformation

Solvay, a global advanced materials and specialty chemicals company, faced a paper‑driven shop‑floor environment that hindered its digital transformation. The company needed a way to empower operators, streamline inspections and data capture, and scale solutions securely and consistently across plants, languages and regulatory boundaries.

Solvay adopted AppSheet’s no‑code platform so non‑technical “citizen developers” could build mobile apps quickly. The program delivered about 1,000 deployed apps with ~400 creators and 4,000 users, replacing paper inspections with tablet workflows (offline-capable and linked to ERP/MES), while adding centralized governance, domain‑based access control, analytics and multilingual training. The result was faster rollouts, improved operational efficiency and workplace mobility, with AppSheet integrated into Solvay’s Google ecosystem.
