Case Study: German Red Cross achieves 98% read rates and faster, secure staff communication with Beekeeper

German Red Cross - Customer Case Study

The German Red Cross Säckingen County Association — part of the German Red Cross and employing roughly 80 full-time staff across rescue, mobile social and care services — struggled to reach non-desk and field employees in real time. Fragmented departments, an outdated intranet and reliance on WhatsApp created security, visibility and usability problems; the association sought a secure, intuitive platform to centralize communication. They selected Beekeeper’s digital workplace app to address these needs.

Beekeeper was rolled out across departments with streams, group chats, surveys and login options for employees without smartphones, plus enterprise-grade encryption and analytics to track message opens. The result: read rates rose to 98% (a reported 20% increase), 158 users with 99% activation and 76% daily usage, faster response times, reduced email and printing costs, and measurable time savings for managers and staff using Beekeeper.
