"LIZ is our figurehead who will lead the Waldmann Group into the future. In just a few years, the data generated by our smart luminaires will be just as important to our customers as the light they use to illuminate their offices."
Christoph Waldmann
Next Gen family entrepreneur and CEO of Waldmann Engineers of Light
The Challenge
Waldmann was looking for ways to be present in space management, service and operations beyond office lighting, using the IoT features of lighting. How are workplace organization and team presence cleverly combined in (hybrid) work contexts?
Our solution
LIZ is now the software division of the Waldmann Group. New customers can buy not only office lighting from Waldmann, but also software-driven "New Work". At the same time, LIZ also appeals to those who have not yet purchased luminaires from Waldmann.
