Toll Group
Toll Group (NZ) delivers freight forwarding, end-to-end transport services and comprehensive logistics solutions to customers operating in New Zealand. Using its national rail, road and sea multi-modal transport services, backed by the global resources and networks of the Toll Group, Toll can deliver parcels or freight anywhere within New Zealand or around the world.
The Challenge
Toll was looking for a collaboration solution to uncover potential improvements to business processes with three keys aims in mind:
- Gather ideas and feedback from across the whole organization
- Identify cost savings and revenue opportunities
- Increase engagement with employees and stakeholders
There was no single way to gather ideas and feedback, rather new thinking was interspersed across conversations, email, meetings, and documents—as in most organizations.
The Solution
Toll considered a number of solutions but decided on HunchBuzz which met their requirements on functionality, cost and the fact that it is locally supported. Toll has used some of the advanced HunchBuzz features like themes to create an idea gathering mechanism that applies across the business, from the warehouse to the corporate office.
The Journey Board which displays all current ideas and feedback in a simple Kanban view, and the in-depth reporting and analytics have been found to be particularly useful in understanding the feedback and identifying where to concentrate activity and resources.
Toll is also rolling out Microsoft Teams and is looking to take advantage of the deep integration HunchBuzz offers with Teams and Microsoft 365 in general.
The Outcome
Toll has seen issues, ideas and feedback contributed from all parts of the organization, and from all levels. While adoption is still growing and metrics are developing, the feedback from employees has been that HunchBuzz is easy to use, and management has seen improved collaboration and engagement.
