[SOTI](https://soti.net/) customers Essman’s Backstube and APM are in wildly different industries: food manufacturing, and recycling and disposal, respectively. But they each identified that paper-based processes weren’t working for them. It was time to incorporate a digital transformation strategy with [SOTI Snap](http://soti.net/products/soti-snap/). ## **Essman’s Backstube Digitized and Automated Over 70 Paper-Based Processes** Located in Germany, Essman’s Backstube is a family run, artisan bakery with almost 800 employees across 67 branches. With the business operating in a decentralized manner, internal communications needed to be optimized. They wanted to transform their fax, telephone and paper processes – at their head office and branch locations – into a digitalized operational structure. How were they able to accomplish this with SOTI Snap – along with guidance from [Global SOTI Snap Partner of the Year ncc guttermann](https://soti.net/resources/blog/2023/soti-sync-23-partner-awards/#:~:text=global%20soti%20snap%20partner%20of%20the%20year%3A)?

They employ 90 garbage drivers and operate three reusable material and recycling yards. Drivers started their day by picking up paperwork for several types of waste disposal orders. At the end of the day, they had to spend 15-20 minutes manually entering the events of their working day. Due to time pressure and manual processes, key details were forgotten or incorrectly noted. It was inefficient and there must have been a better way. That better way was developing a digital transformation strategy for their paper-based workflows. How did they do it? What were the results?

They wanted to digitize their pen-and-paper documents and workflows and they wanted to do it quickly. Sound like something you want to do?
