Case Study: Hansgrohe boosts idea submissions by 50% with Crowdworx

HANSGROHE Boosts Idea Submissions by 50%

Hansgrohe, a global leader in bathroom and kitchen innovation, needed to replace an outdated Lotus Notes-based idea management system that no longer supported new users, lacked key processing functions, and excluded blue-collar employees without PC access. As the company expanded internationally, it also needed a better way to manage innovation projects that had been tracked manually in Excel. Hansgrohe turned to Crowdworx for a modern idea and innovation management platform.

Crowdworx implemented its Idea Management and Project Management modules for 5,000 employees in just three months, integrating the platform with Hansgrohe’s employee app so all staff could submit ideas. The solution added guided workflows, similarity checks, automatic notifications, real-time transparency, and gamification badges to boost engagement. As a result, Hansgrohe increased idea submissions by 50% in the first year, sustained high participation, and gained clearer visibility into innovation projects and decision-making.
