Case Study: I.K. Hofmann GmbH achieves more transparent employee innovation with innosabi Idea

I.K. Hofmann GmbH - Customer Case Study

I.K. Hofmann GmbH faced significant challenges with its internal idea management, including a lack of transparency, unclear processes, and low employee engagement. This led to frustration and a slow, inefficient innovation pipeline. To overcome this, the company partnered with innovation software vendor innosabi to implement its solution, the «Ideenhof» platform.

By deploying innosabi's idea management platform, I.K. Hofmann GmbH created a transparent, centralized hub for innovation. The solution featured gamified incentives, dual-expert evaluation, and targeted challenges, which resulted in 442 ideas from 140 employees, a 13% realization rate, and a 75% increase in submissions. The vendor's tool dramatically improved efficiency, cutting the time from submission to implementation to approximately three months and fostering a sustainable culture of innovation.
