From the automotive heartland to digital execution: 8020 Consulting partners with WEBCON

WEBCON and 8020 Consulting partner to bring rapid process automation to Germany’s automotive and industrial sector.

The DACH automotive and industrial market operates by different rules. Procurement cycles are longer and more complex, governance expectations are higher, and technology decisions rarely happen without an established relationship and a proven track record. 

8020 Consulting has spent years building exactly that kind of credibility with industrial and automotive enterprises across Germany, including organizations operating at DAX-level complexity. WEBCON provides the platform that turns process designs into production-ready applications in weeks, not months, and keeps them easy to change as the business evolves. Together, they bring process digitization to a market where trust comes before technology. 

A pragmatic answer to market pressure

Research from BCG shows that around 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to fully meet their objectives. Projects are too complex, too slow, lacking clear ownership, and disconnected from people who run the processes. The result: investment without impact. 

8020 Consulting knows how to address that challenge. The company supports clients end-to-end, from analysis and design to rollout and adoption. Their approach is deliberate: the analysis phase builds a clear picture of project needs, organizational structure, and workflows before any technology enters the conversation. That discipline, combined with deep knowledge of the DACH industrial landscape, is how they've earned long-term trust within the sector. 

From optimized process to digital reality

However, good process design has always had a last-mile problem. You can redesign a workflow on paper, get full buy-in from the business, and still wait months to turn it into a working application. The danger is, by then, requirements have shifted, and the original design no longer fits. 

WEBCON closes that gap. With the platform, 8020 consultants can take a process they've just optimized and build a working, production-ready application in the same engagement. And when the business needs change, the application changes with them, instantly, without rebuilds. What starts as a single workflow can evolve into a platform managing entire process landscapes.

"At 8020, we believe digital transformation must be pragmatic and measurable. With WEBCON, we can turn optimized processes into real applications quickly, giving our clients transparency, governance, and efficiency without unnecessary complexity.”

– Matthias Aschenbrenner, Partner at 8020 Consulting

What makes this partnership different is that 8020 is already embedded in client organizations long before a platform decision is on the table. They work with these companies on process optimization, quality management, and operational improvement as an ongoing practice. When the need for a digital execution layer emerges, it comes from within a relationship that's already built on trust and shared context. WEBCON enters that conversation as a natural next step, not as an outside pitch. 

"8020 knows the DACH market and its clients. That is a strong starting point. What makes this partnership work is the complementarity – they bring the business context, and we bring the platform that allows clients to act quickly, without waiting until everything is perfectly mapped out.”

– Rupert Schultes, Partner Development Director at WEBCON
