Case Study: Holzmann – Filehub

Secure digitization of file and media exchange in support

Case Study: Automated GDPR-compliant Data Exchange at Holzmann

Project Overview

Introduction of the Holzmann Filehub for secure customer data exchange

Holzmann relied on a variety of different tools such as WhatsApp and WeTransfer for exchanging files, photos, and videos with customers, which was neither legally nor procedurally sufficient. syreta then developed the Holzmann Filehub, a central web-based solution for GDPR-compliant uploads and direct media capture in the browser. The platform automates media exchange and strengthens digital process reliability in customer support.

Initial situation

External tools without control and legal certainty

Before the introduction of Filehub, Holzmann used external services to exchange files, which allowed for quick use, but neither complied with GDPR data protection requirements nor enabled a structured assignment to support cases. In addition, there was no central option for capturing and transmitting photos or videos.

Solution

Filehub platform for upload, recording, and central assignment

Together with Holzmann, syreta implemented Filehub as a web-based platform through which customers and employees can securely and easily upload files of any kind. The solution enables direct capture of images and videos in the browser, ensuring media-neutral communication without additional apps or services.

Process today

Automated integration into support workflows

Today, uploads via the Filehub are automatically transferred to the existing ticketing system via an email interface and clearly assigned to the appropriate support case. This automated flow of information reduces manual work steps, provides clearly defined processes, and creates transparency for support teams and customers alike.

Result

Secure, faster and more structured data exchange

With Filehub, Holzmann has completely replaced external, insecure tools and sustainably digitalized the GDPR-compliant exchange of files, images, and videos. Direct integration into the existing support processes leads to faster processing times, clearer workflows, and fewer follow-up questions in customer support.

Conclusion

Digitalization creates legally compliant efficiency in the support process

The Holzmann Filehub demonstrates how the digitalization of internal and external communication processes creates real added value: through GDPR-compliant data exchange, media-neutral capture, and automated process integration with support systems that sustainably increase efficiency and customer satisfaction.

More Case Studies

Further projects by syreta show how digital solutions are successfully implemented in practice.

Case Study: BMD Career Platform

Together with BMD, syreta implemented an automated career tool for the seamless publication and management of job postings. This makes the recruiting process more efficient, more up-to-date, and significantly easier to maintain.

Case Study: newo

For newo, syreta created a QR code-based service platform that intelligently links product, customer, and order data. Automated processes enhance service quality and reduce manual effort.
