Voss Online has recently won the âGolden Cart Award 2016â?. The team Voí and the agency of Voí Edelstahl applied for the price presenting Voss Online and finished first in the category B2B-wholesale. In 2016 the the Golden Cart Award for five categories was offered repeatedly. 60 agencies participated in this competition. Markus Fischer and Thorsten Studemund knew that normally in this competition participation would be made by far more modern industry branches than the steel trade. Nevertheless, the jury was convinced by the innovative additional benefits that lead to efficiency increase for Voí Edelstahl and its trade partners.
Stefan Stagraczynski, IT-manager at Voí Edelstahl, said: âIt was not easy to establish an online portal, especially as the dispute startet already within the management. It was a permanent fight for acceptance of the supporters and for a sustainable compromise, which eventually was considered best by the sceptics.â?
The Voí management supposes: âWe are delighted with the success of Voss online. We generally think that the hype should at no time hide the fact that the operational results in the steel trading branch are often not satisfying. In this branch a lot of things have to be reorganized and the courage for a performance-linked calculation ought to be strengthened. An online shop as a single measure will not be able to settle the weakness of the branch.â?
