The Challenge
The Stadtwerke of Hechingen specifically needed software that could centralize the management of employee skills and qualifications. This was critical, as the responsibilities within an organization like the Stadtwerke require certified and documented skills to ensure compliance and safety.
At the same time, the Betriebshof was looking for a solution that could manage both employee qualifications and the city’s equipment and vehicle fleet.
Timly offered an intuitive, versatile solution that allowed both entities to manage these diverse needs within a single platform. Within a few months of each other, both the Stadtwerke and Betriebshof implemented Timly to address their specific challenges. While these two departments are managed independently within Timly, they share a common goal: simplifying day-to-day public administration operations in Hechingen.
The Solution
In 2020, Stadtwerke Hechingen integrated Timly’s Personnel module, marking a new chapter in its streamlined management of employee qualifications. It’s essential to highlight the importance of accurate and reliable skill management for a public institution like the Stadtwerke. Legally, they must ensure that all employees have the requisite qualifications for their roles. Yet managing every skill and certification can quickly become complex given the volume of information involved.
In Timly, administrators can easily view and manage employee qualifications. All relevant information and actions are centralized, providing quick access – whether verifying that an employee has the required skills for a specific task, checking the expiration date of a certification, or planning upcoming training schedules.
Stadtwerke Hechingen has effectively built a smart structure within Timly that allows them to efficiently and effortlessly manage employee qualifications. By creating detailed employee records, they keep track of essential information, including qualifications, training records, relevant documents (such as contracts and diplomas), and future training needs.
Most used functions:
Training and Qualification Tracking
At the core of Hechingen’s challenge, Timly’s intelligent employee qualification management and training tracking is an essential solution. It ensures ongoing compliance and safety through a simple yet effective interface.
Ticketing System
Timly’s ticketing system has become essential for Betriebshof Hechingen, providing full control over support and repair requests, with all activities, details, and repair invoices documented.
The Result
With Timly, Stadtwerke Hechingen has a robus and flexible digital solution to ensure that its employees consistently hold the required qualifications—and can easily provide proof when necessary. All information is centralized and clear: at a glance, managers can check which qualifications are about to expire, what upcoming training sessions are scheduled, or whether an employee’s specific certification is up to date.
All qualifications are centrally managed in Timly, ensuring that Stadtwerke Hechingen stays fully compliant with legislation and current standards.
At Betriebshof Hechingen, the outcome is similar, with the added benefit of managing their equipment and vehicle fleet. Timly’s ticketing system allows the Betriebshof to track all maintenance and repair activities, maintain flawless deadline management, and document regular equipment testing.
Hechingen is a modern medieval town, and with Timly, it’s firmly on track toward digital transformation.
