6,000 iPads for Henkel (device as a service)

Procuring, configuring and distributing 6,000 iPads is a real challenge—even for large international organizations like Henkel. The aim of this project was to strengthen the corporate culture, train the non-desk workers’ digital skills and increase the resilience of the organization as a whole.

Working environments have changed a lot during the Corona pandemic. Concepts such as remote work, home office and shared desks have gone widespread quickly. Digital progress is a key success factor for the entire production environment and crucial for the resilience of companies. That’s why multinational chemical and consumer goods manufacturer Henkel has decided, that digitization can’t stop at the desks of white-collar workers.

Henkel finds it important to digitally integrate the entire workforce. In consequence, the organization planned to equip almost 6,000 non-desk workers with brand-new iPads—and in five working days only.
