Case Study: Swiss Association of Master Bakers and Confectioners achieves streamlined remote meetings and significant time savings with Sherpany

How the professional association SBC optimises its processes for remote working

The Swiss Association of Master Bakers and Confectioners (SBC), the 120‑year‑old professional body for bakery and confectionery employers in Switzerland, faced time‑consuming, fragmented meeting processes—agendas in emails, documents on the intranet, printed sheets and frequent updates—that became unsustainable when COVID‑19 forced more frequent, remote decision‑making. To accelerate digital collaboration and simplify administration, SBC implemented Sherpany’s meeting management software.

Sherpany provided personalised onboarding and a user‑friendly platform that centralised agendas, documents and minutes, added a pre‑filled Minutes feature and a “Tasks and Decisions” tracker, and enabled mobile access and secure compliance. Implemented within days, Sherpany let SBC publish minutes within half an hour, increased accountability, and—according to SBC’s management assistant—now saves “at least one working day per meeting,” while boosting preparedness and enabling more efficient remote meetings.
