Superkind for automation technology

In automation technology every project comes with the same office work: maintaining documentation, procuring parts, coordinating dates, writing service reports. You hand this work to Superkinds. You describe it once in Slack, Teams or by email, they do it in your tools, and nothing goes out before you approve it.

Every example is set at Schneider GmbH, a made-up company
