Case Study: Axpo Holding AG achieves streamlined, paperless executive meetings with Sherpany

Improving meeting processes: Why Sherpany became the most used digital tool by Axpo’s executives

Axpo Holding AG, a major Swiss energy group with over 4,000 employees, faced slow, paper-based meeting processes that consumed executives’ time and administrative effort. Executives reported 20–30 hours a week in meetings plus about 5 hours of preparation, while assistants spent roughly half a day printing and assembling materials for each meeting. To modernize and reduce paper overload, Axpo selected Sherpany’s meeting management software.

Sherpany implemented its digital meeting platform—featuring digital agendas, virtual “rooms,” continuous access to documents and in‑app annotation—so leaders could prepare paperlessly and access past materials on iPads. The change made meetings more structured and preparation more efficient: Sherpany is now the most used digital tool among Axpo leaders with over 150 (169) users, executives report meaningful time savings (Martin Schwab estimates at least one hour saved per week), and administrators have significantly reduced printing and prep time.
