    Zirkular GmbH, based in Basel, has launched its new platform , rematerial. According to a press release, the new online DIY store will offer high-quality, reusable building components. For example, it will offer LED lights that have been reconditioned by specialist companies and now come with a guarantee. Components can also be reserved for a month or stored temporarily for up to 24 months for just-in-time deliveries. The building components collected from demolition sites are stored in a systematic manner.

    The rematerial platform can be used in conjunction with thePlanularplanning tool, which was also developed by Zirkular.

    Aadorf-based sun shading manufacturer Griesser has developed a digital platform that can be used to optimize the entire ordering process for customers. According to a press release, potential customers can use the MyGriesser OnSite app with automated processes to significantly reduce the time and effort involved in ordering.

    The app guides the customer step by step through the measuring process. At the same time, a suitable sun shading system can be selected from a digital catalog. Further details about the installation location and installation are added to the app, as are corresponding image or video files. The measurements are transferred to an end device via Bluetooth and the entire data record is synchronized with the MyGriesser platform.

    The app was developed and tested together with users – specialist partners on site. “We wanted to create an efficient, customer-oriented and, in particular, practical digital solution. An important success factor was to involve our specialist partners and our own sales unit, i.e. the stakeholder groups that are particularly close to our customers, right from the start,” Alexander Wimmer, Managing Director of the Griesser business unit, is quoted as saying in the press release. “With our innovative Griesser app, we are revolutionizing everyday life on construction sites and at the same time creating enormous added value for our specialist partners and our direct sales. In addition to massive time savings and fast, expert advice on site, the app creates a better overview and offers an ideal solution for responding even better to individual customer needs.”
