Panasonic & Timly
As a technology leader, Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe combines decades of experience with bold innovation. With Timly, the company optimizes the management of over 20,000 assets – leveraging digital transparency, efficiency, and compliance as the foundation for future technological successes.
Company Overview
Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe GmbH is headquartered in Lüneburg and is part of the global Panasonic Group. With over 500 employees, the company develops technological solutions at its site for automotive, industrial, and energy management applications.
Its portfolio ranges from manufacturing and developing highly innovative electronic components to system solutions, as well as providing partnership support for industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering, and energy. With a strong research and development department, Panasonic ensures the highest standards of quality and reliability for international markets.
The Challenge
As a full-service electronics provider, Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe manages a vast variety of devices, machinery, tools, and operational assets.
Regulatory requirements and internal quality standards demanded precise, comprehensive documentation and digital management of all critical assets valued over €1,000. Routine tasks such as inventory, inspections, maintenance, and calibration previously consumed enormous resources and time from qualified employees – a significant challenge given more than 20,000 assets.
The Solution
Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe chose Timly as its central, cloud-based inventory management solution. Key features included:
- Detailed digital inventory with customizable fields
- Automated maintenance, inspection, and calibration scheduling via the central maintenance module
- Mobile accessibility: Perform inventories, assignments, and inspections from any device at any time
- Audit-proof exports of inventory data for accounting and compliance purposes
Working closely with Timly, Panasonic even helped refine a solution for delegated digital inventory: employees now independently verify each asset using the in-app barcode scanner, with documentation and verification automatically recorded in the system.
The Results
- Digital and centralized management of over 20,000 assets
- Automated tracking of inspections, maintenance, calibrations, and operational deadlines
- Time and resource savings through simple process digitization
- Audit-proof documentation ensures compliance with legal requirements
- Mobile access for technicians, administration, and accounting on a shared digital platform
- Exportable inventory reports simplify tax and accounting processes
- Improved digital collaboration through a development-focused partnership with Timly
Key Takeaways
The partnership with Timly has enabled Panasonic Industrial Devices Europe to make its internal processes not only more efficient but also future-proof. Digital transparency, automation, and compliance provide a solid foundation for further growth and technological excellence.
Timly reliably supports Panasonic in turning innovation into productive everyday practice – for its teams and across all customer industries alike.
