What actually is digitization? Here's an example:

In a side street of a major German city, an established men's outfitter makes high-quality tailored suits for its small customer base. The tailor took the detailed body measurements of his customers one by one using a tape measure and for a long time only recorded them with a pencil and an index card. For every new order he manually transferred these measurements to the tailor's mask, even from regular customers. He only won a few new customers and more by chance.

 

Via the go-digital funding program, the men's ready-to-wear tailor found tailor-made advice and financial support in order to digitize its essential work processes and develop an individual online marketing concept. With a tool tailored to his needs, he can now enter the measurements of his customers directly into the tailor's mask using a tablet and add them to a customer master data sheet. The digital customer measurements form the basis for future custom-made products and the rental of tuxedos, which has become the company's second mainstay. Customers whose dimensions are stored can rent their tuxedo quickly and easily with a click of the mouse on the new website or purchase branded accessories at special prices in the online shop. The men's outfitter now has almost 700 registered customers and employs three instead of one external bespoke tailor.

 

According to the owner, this success would have been unthinkable without go-digital.
