One of the biggest business challenges companies face today is digitization. In order to maintain competitiveness and develop new business models, they must be able to respond quickly and flexibly to the demands of the market. The Simplifier low-code platform comes into play here, enabling companies to develop, integrate and manage digital services quickly and efficiently. Kwizda corporate group has identified the advantages of Simplifier and implemented the platform as the basis for the development of its digital services.

The Austrian family-owned company Kwizda, based in Vienna, is active in the fields of health care, crop protection and sealing systems. Its core competencies include the development, production and national and international distribution of pharmaceuticals, drug distribution for companies, the pharmaceutical industry and pharmaceutical trading in the pharmacy market. Along with many other companies, there is also a desire at Kwizda to lighten the load on IT and make the implementation of digital services faster and more efficient. The low-code platform Simplifier is designed to help by creating governance structures and enabling integration into existing IT structures.

Operating securely across systems

In implementing the digital transformation, the Kwizda group of companies faces a variety of challenges and tasks. The existing IT resources are to be relieved for important projects. The implementation of new digital services must be fast and efficient in order to optimize time-to-value. In addition, the new solutions must be flexibly integrated into the existing IT landscape, which includes both SAP and non-SAP systems, cloud and on-premise solutions. At the same time, the IT department must always retain full sovereignty and governance over the processes. The definition of standards for digital services is another important goal in this context in order to enable scalable and efficient development.

Rolf Göder, Manager Group IT at Kwizda, emphasizes:

“We were looking for a platform that would allow us to reduce the burden on our own infrastructure and enable a faster time-to-value in the implementation of digital services. The platform should be flexible to integrate and ensure transparency.”

Beginning of the collaboration

For the implementation of these requirements, Kwizda was looking for a suitable partner and had already been in contact with Simplifier for some time. Simplifier’s low-code approach harmonizes perfectly with Kwizda’s “Digital Component Development” concept. Application development, connectivity and collaboration should be ideally aligned. In this context, Simplifier impressed with its connectivity to SAP and non-SAP systems, and overall with its partnership-based and pragmatic collaboration and in-depth expertise in the area of digital transformation. In addition, Simplifier meets the high governance requirements that are crucial for the company.

Joint success

With the goal of evaluating Simplifier’s functionality, Kwizda conducted a Proof of Value (PoV). In a one-day workshop, two use cases were developed in two teams. Governance was a fundamental theme here. The first use case involved a registration portal connected via REST. The second use case was a digital goods receipt with connection to SAP. The PoV requirements were solved to complete satisfaction within the one-day workshop.

“We were highly impressed with the results and the Simplifier platform itself. The technical implementation was flawless and the platform has excellent usability. Our expectations were far exceeded. The team is looking forward to the journey together – this applies to both using the platform and working with the Simplifier team.”

Kwizda relies on the cooperation with the Simplifier team for the implementation of its digitization projects. The company benefits from professional support and in-depth expert knowledge. Flexible adaptation to customer needs and a clear focus on mutual success characterize the collaboration. Because technical challenges are always solved together.

“The partnership with Simplifier was and is characterized by a professional, cooperative and pragmatic collaboration, solid know-how around digital topics and a maximum of agility.”
