A Growth Engine for Europe

Skywalk GmbH Co. KG develops and markets event and sports products. The Bavarian company based in Marquartstein was looking for a solution to make their internal operations more efficient. In 2011 they decided to switch to Gmail for their communications, which turned out to be a smart move. “We saved an enormous amount of time and money by switching to Gmail,” says Ferdinand Veith, the company’s Online Marketing Manager. In addition to Gmail, Skywalk also uses Google Apps, Google Drive and Analytics. Google Drive in particular has proven its worth as an efficient solution for interacting with customers abroad. As a niche supplier, offline media such as trade fairs and specialist magazines are still very important to Skywalk. However, they are also planning to expand their online activities and want to use Google solutions to help with this. “We are absolutely satisfied in every respect,” concludes Veith. “The Google products are easy to use and perfectly suited for use in a business context. We had no problems incorporating them into our company’s structure and thanks to the Google Apps, we now rarely experience disruption when switching between media. They help us work more efficiently and simplify our processes.”
