The ZOLLERN Group is one of the leading companies in metal processing and drive technology. With more than 300 years of company history and an international setup, ZOLLERN stands for innovation, quality, and sustainable solutions in the areas of investment casting, drive systems, and industrial components. The ZOLLERN Academy supports the continuous development and upskilling of employees, focusing on modern learning and development strategies.
From Manual Processes to a Digital Learning Platform
The ZOLLERN Academy faced the challenge of modernizing its training and talent development processes and eliminating manual workflows. The goal was to establish a modern learning management platform that not only increases efficiency but also creates the foundation for strategic talent development. In addition, all documents related to the instruction and operation of individual machines were to be digitized and transformed into a comprehensive and auditable onboarding process.
The Solution
With the implementation of the Cornerstone Learning module, we jointly laid the foundation for the digital transformation of the ZOLLERN Academy. The new solution enables targeted management and strategic alignment of development measures. Managers now have a comprehensive overview within their areas of responsibility; an essential step toward more efficient processes and a clear talent strategy. Necessary or even legally required instructions and trainings can be planned and assigned in a traceable manner.
Added Value for ZOLLERN in Collaboration with talessio
ZOLLERN emphasizes that talessio’s expertise and best‑practice examples were crucial in successfully adapting proven approaches. According to the project team, the structured methodology ensured that all milestones were met on schedule and that transparency about project progress was maintained at all times. ZOLLERN also considered the support provided during the technical integration and implementation of interfaces to be highly competent.
What Makes talessio Stand Out from the Customer’s Perspective
ZOLLERN describes talessio as a partner distinguished by strong customer orientation and high-quality consulting. Particularly positive mentions included flexibility, proactive communication, and a deep understanding of the company’s individual needs — factors that, from ZOLLERN’s point of view, significantly contributed to the project’s successful completion.
