Forging strong communication at Maeyaert and Deswarte

After the merger of Maeyaert and Deswarte, reaching 120 workers through a mix of email, notice boards, verbal updates, and separate platforms was no longer effective. By introducing the Netpresenter Employee App, the company created one central communication platform where workers receive news, documents, polls, and targeted updates in a single place. This made communication faster, clearer, and more reliable, ensuring that even technicians on the road receive the right information.

At Maeyaert and Deswarte, keeping all workers informed after their merger was a challenge due to scattered communication and missed messages. With the Netpresenter Employee App, they introduced one central platform for news, updates, and feedback. Today, everyone receives the right information, making communication more effective.

Challenge

After the merger, there was a need for one central communication platform: “Messages were sometimes not read, seen, or heard. With the disappearance of initiatives such as ‘Stop & Meet Roger’ at Maeyaert, we had fewer structured moments for sharing information. A lot of time was lost going back and forth to distribute or obtain information. Technicians, who are less often on-site, regularly missed important communication or received it too late. Practical matters such as managing registrations were also difficult.”

 

 

Solution

Maeyaert & Deswarte chose the Netpresenter Employee App: “The app is easy to use and has a clear, intuitive layout. The price was also competitive. The ability to use polls was a major added value, as it stimulates interaction with workers. We deliberately chose a tool with few unnecessary features, so the focus remains on clear and efficient communication.”

Benefits

Since rolling out the Netpresenter Employee App, the impact has been clear: “Since implementing the app, we have seen a clear positive effect on our internal communication. Information can be distributed centrally and quickly. No one can say ‘I didn’t know anything’ anymore: everyone receives the right information. And we can see who reads messages and who does not, allowing us to better monitor and adjust communication.”
