What teams say about BITOU

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“We were able to break down the initial shyness between the SAP consultants and key users. A genuine, profound sense of togetherness developed. We noticed this in the joint workshops that followed. The enthusiasm for the common goal was ignited that evening. Tom’s open and warm manner was infectious. This helped us to immerse ourselves in a great atmosphere and let the sense of togetherness blossom.”

(Employee, Huonker GmbH)

>90% of teams report noticeably better coordination 4 weeks later.
