Feintool transforms global collaboration with digital workplace
Feintool, a global leader in fineblanking metal forming, upgraded their intranet from Typo3 to a modern, digital workplace leveraging Microsoft 365 technologies. The aim was to standardize, simplify, and enhance collaboration across their worldwide workforce. MondayCoffee, a Microsoft Gold Partner, guided the agile, user-centric transformation integrating SharePoint, Teams, Planner, Power Automate, and CoffeeNet 365. The new platform not only increased transparency and standardized processes but also ensured cross-location communication and adaptability, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. High user adoption resulted from pilot projects and global management engagement. The CoffeeNet 365 platform automated scenario-based configurations for teams, allowing employees to focus on their work rather than IT navigation. With this implementation, Feintool streamlined project management, fast-tracked cross-site collaboration, and provided employees access to information anytime and anywhere. The platform supports over 2,700 employees across Europe, the USA, China, and Japan. By simplifying collaboration and increasing transparency, Feintool saw both immediate and sustainable improvements in operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.

Architecture
CoffeeNet 365 orchestrates Microsoft 365 apps (SharePoint, Teams, Planner, Power Automate) into unified digital workspaces depending on scenario. All applications are provisioned and connected in the background, so users access the integrated functions directly from their custom workspace, with information and collaboration standardized and automated for each department or project.
