For over 100 years, the company has been a distributor of spare parts, accessories and workshop equipment for commercial vehicles. At its company headquarters in Stuttgart, the personnel department looks after all aspects of HR \u2013 from recruitment right through to the management and development of personnel.

Head of Human Rescources at the winkler group, Sabine Zinke, says: \u201cWith such a fundamental change process, it was important to us that we were not only convinced by the product, we also wanted the right fit on a human level between the responsible parties at winkler and<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Image Column&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;41b17c2f-997b-456b-bf76-fa1174fb844e&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aconso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Digital-Personnel-File-Document-Overview.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Digital Personnel File &#8211; Document Overview&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;744ec182-40fe-46b9-83a1-79dbbe02a416&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|12px|12px|12px|12px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;e3006cb1-70b6-4bff-8fb1-952a996394c9&#8243; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0em|||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|0em|||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;0ec6a2b7-1675-4ca7-8ad7-0bc77801234e&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Sabine Zinke&#8221; job_title=&#8221;Head of HR&#8221; company_name=&#8221;winkler&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/aconso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sabine-Zinke.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description_inner\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_content\">\n<p>\u201cOnce we had got to know the project managers, it was clear to us that our final choice was going to be<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em>.

Sabine Zinke is happy to confirm: \u201cOur aim was to free ourselves of this old-fashioned mass of paper \u2013 and we\u2019ve managed to do just that. Introducing the Digital Personnel File has enabled us to significantly shorten HR processing times and by doing away with paper files we are also saving on storage costs.\u201d Over the course of time, two specific requirements arose which the executive board of winkler expressed a desire to incorporate: that particular personnel files should be available to view for managerial staff and also that user-specific information be made available, with a notes facility enabling managers to attach personal notes to employee files.<\/p>\n<h4>Recording of comments<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cOur CEO R\u00fcdiger Hahn works in regular, close collaboration with our staff,\u201d Sabine Zinke explains. \u201cHis concern was that after employee appraisals he wanted it to be possible to record comments and personal notes for use in future discussions.\u201d The historical systems for recording notes no longer complied with winkler security requirements. What\u2019s more, they could not be integrated into the Digital Personnel File, which increased the administrative burden. That\u2019s why the winkler group turned to the<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>team and shared their ideas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the development and programming phase at<span>\u00a0<\/span><i>aconso<\/i>, we had the opportunity to carry out a test phase from November 2017 and put the newly developed functions through their paces. We regularly gave<span>\u00a0<\/span><i>aconso<\/i><span>\u00a0<\/span>suggestions for improvements, providing fresh momentum, and together we made the solution into what it is today, step by step.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<h3>Taking the route to digitization<\/h3>\n<p>The winkler group particularly values the quick digital and mobile access to employee documents afforded by<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em>. This is particularly true for winkler managerial staff when they conduct employee appraisals at different locations: the system makes it possible to view important documents directly via a laptop computer or tablet and, as a result, there is no longer a need to send the documents back and forth, which increases data security immensely. winkler is also satisfied with the functions that were developed jointly. Not only does<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>let management staff view specific files, it also means that following an employee appraisal they can attach individual notes to the personnel file.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Zinke states: \u201cFor us, the introduction of<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>represented the first step on the route to digitization. For both HR and managerial staff, it has given us a convenient and transparent process with a high level of security.\u201d winkler is also very satisfied with the support it receives from<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>and the mutual cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;e3006cb1-70b6-4bff-8fb1-952a996394c9&#8243; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0em|||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|0em|||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;0ec6a2b7-1675-4ca7-8ad7-0bc77801234e&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Sabine Zinke&#8221; job_title=&#8221;Head of HR&#8221; company_name=&#8221;winkler&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/aconso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Sabine-Zinke.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;_initial&#8221; position_font_size=&#8221;1em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_description_inner\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_testimonial_content\">\n<p>\u201cFrom our experience with other suppliers we can say that those responsible at<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>aconso<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>work to very high standards.
