For successful projects and efficient collaboration
A uniform working basis is an elementary prerequisite – also in the IT area. To improve collaboration and break down knowledge silos, HSB Elektro GmbH decided to introduce Simplifier. The low-code platform standardizes the development environment, minimizes the tool chain and ensures more efficient teamwork.
About HSB Elektro GmbH
HSB Elektro GmbH is a medium-sized company that has stood for quality in Europe’s DIY stores for almost 30 years. In addition to high product standards, the company also attaches great importance to optimized internal processes. With the implementation of the low-code platform Simplifier, collaboration in the IT department was simplified and know-how silos successfully dissolved.
Straightforward process for joint success
The introduction of Simplifier provides the entire IT team with a common development interface. HSB Elektro was particularly impressed by the reuse of created components. The platform offers both pro developers and citizen developers an optimal environment, supported by the location in Germany and an attractive license model.
Utilizing and developing synergies
Before the implementation, the IT team used various frameworks that made it difficult to exchange information and work together. With Simplifier, the tool chain could be streamlined. The platform enables the reuse of existing components and thus promotes knowledge transfer and continuity in projects.
“Even with Simplifier, different areas of focus have developed within the team. However, we now have a uniform and comprehensive development environment in which everyone can contribute their knowledge. Colleagues can adapt and reuse elements that have been created – this allows us to work together more closely and benefit from continuity in our projects.

Optimum overview and fast information
Following a joint enabling process with Simplifier and integration partner mindsquare, HSB Elektro implemented a hub with several logistics apps. These apps are seamlessly integrated into the existing SAP system and offer employees easy access to relevant information and overviews.
“With Simplifier, we are able to design the necessary applications entirely according to our requirements and at the same time connect them optimally to SAP. Our colleagues work with a standardized interface and have the relevant information at their fingertips at all times.
