For over 60 years, the Association sewage treatment plant Böblingen-Sindelfingen provides a reliable wastewater treatment. Thus, the complex systems to work smoothly, the Team on the maintenance software connectavo.
State-of-the-art purification processes remove contaminants, trace substances, industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical residues, and hormones from wastewater. Thorough purification requires fully functional systems – they are the foundation for safe wastewater disposal. To meet these high demands and maintain a constant overview of completed maintenance, transparency and efficient information flow within the team are crucial. This is precisely where connectavo comes in: The software ensures that every employee knows exactly what needs to be done – while simultaneously creating attractive, modern workplaces.
David Japol, the process digitalization officer at the wastewater treatment plant, oversaw the implementation of connectavo. For him and the team at the Zweckverband (special-purpose association), it was clear from the start: environmental technology – especially in the public sector – requires a digital solution. Wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, structures, and mechanical equipment need to be managed in detail, and all maintenance needs to be controlled efficiently.
“The solution needed to be digital and, in addition to increasing plant availability, enable a clear and transparent division of tasks. At the same time, it had to be intuitive for our specialist and maintenance teams to use. From the outset, connectavo offered us an interface with mobile and stationary solutions that fully met our requirements,” said Japol.
The excellent service and support from the connectavo team also played a major role in the successful implementation. Japol: "The outstanding customer support convinced me of connectavo's merits! The software is easy to use and integrates seamlessly into our daily routine. With connectavo, we've taken a significant step towards modernizing and digitizing our workplaces. Our employees appreciate this, too."
Added value through transparency and structure
First, there was a lot of hard work to be done: recording all the internal master data. But the effort has paid off. Today, employees benefit from a clear overview of tasks, conditions, and work already completed. The documented measures taken at the site and the readily available history serve as a valuable basis for decisions regarding repairs, replacements, and investments.
“With connectavo we have taken the right step and found the right partner to master our task in wastewater treatment and achieve our quality goal: to offer the best to citizens and the environment,” Japol concludes positively.
Thanks to customizable checklists, connectavo ensures that no maintenance is overlooked and all work is fully documented. The software is easily accessible for all employees and provides reliable support in their daily work.
Users particularly appreciate the user-friendly interface, the quick creation of work orders – including the integration of images and PDFs – and the maintenance history. And all of this is available anytime, anywhere thanks to the mobile application.
David Japol's team is equally impressed. "I think it's fantastic that I can see all the different aspects of my work on one interface. Whether it's a machine, a building, or a vehicle, connectavo doesn't limit what I can map and record. On the contrary, it opens up new possibilities for me to better organize my daily work," reports one of the team's electricians.
Even employees who were initially skeptical of the application are now convinced: "The operation and handling are incredibly easy. At first, I wasn't keen on typing in data at the work site, but now I would miss something without the app. I keep discovering new things that help me at work. Simply a great thing!"
