The challenge

A manufacturer’s shop-floor associates and corporate office had inconsistent collaboration patterns. Email-heavy corporate; verbal-heavy shop-floor; cross-context coordination was poor.

What we built

Microsoft 365 + Teams rollout with shop-floor-specific patterns — kiosk mode for shared shop-floor terminals, mobile-first for floor associates, integration with shift-management. Cross-context channels for corporate-floor coordination.

Outcomes

Cross-floor + cross-corporate communications: up 4×
Shift-handover quality: measurably improved
Floor-associate engagement on collaboration: 71% adoption
Cross-plant best-practice sharing in place
