Customer testimonials

What innosai customers say about our platform, how it drives success and what it helps deliver to our clients.
If you are willing to ask your customers, you absolutely have to make sure that their answers will be heard. Something has to happen when users clearly voice their opinions. That’s why our goal is always to tackle questions holistically. Start with an idea, work on a concept together, and eventually come up with a minimum viable product. We want to take the participants with us on the whole journey. Because in large organizations like ours, the path from new insights to new products can be a little less direct than we would like it to be. And this also means that you have to be willing to let go of your own assumptions and plans if the community thinks differently.
Martin Brings
Head and strategic lead Ideenlabor
Innovation is a social activity, and connectivity is an asset. The image of the lone inventor is alluring, but almost always wrong. Innovation actually happens in teams, in cross-functional workshops, and through the involvement of many. It is also highly contagious. Our approach from the beginning was to respect and leverage the structures and processes of our large organization, while simultaneously creating more agile networks and opportunities for all employees to participate, contribute and collaborate towards driving innovation impact within and beyond Bayer.
Monika Lessl
Head of Corporate Innovation, R&D and Societal Engagement
With the DigitalLife Crowd Ideation platform, we have a tool for organization-wide collaboration and virtual crowdfunding. Innovation becomes the task of all employees: from the generation of ideas through the distribution of budgets and steps towards various implementation channels. It’s an end-to-end innovation accelerator for Daimler’s future technologies and services. The platform gives us the necessary transparency in the implementation processes of innovations. Employees have the opportunity to be part of the evaluation and prioritization process, and to openly discuss the potential of new ideas with colleagues from all divisions and locations.

Innovation needs a central place where everything comes together. The innosabi software connects our partners and consumers - laying the foundation for a forward-thinking and collaborative innovation culture.
Tobias Brand
Divison manager, VR-NetWorld GmbH
Great for crowdsourcing and engaging employees rather than them playing a more passive role. The most useful thing about innosabi is the Campaigns feature. I think that is the USP of the platform as it helps to create an effective idea management setup. Though, I would love to have a more in-depth training for the same to understand all the features. The toolbox functionality is a step in a good direction, and hope that develops better and faster in the future. And definitely the CSM support is great and super helpful!

innosabi is a true partner: innosabi's Insight platform is fairly easy to get going and use immediately, although you know you are missing features as you can see the power of the program they've built. However, you never need to worry because their customer service is top notch - quick response times, issues always resolved, and happy to go above/beyond to find a solution for you, no matter what you ask. The system is also easy to integrate into your own SSO platforms which makes using it seamless and easy for others in your organization.

A Game-Changer for Innovation Management! The intuitive interface makes it easy to share and evaluate ideas, while the crowd-sourcing and co-creation tools harness collective intelligence from all stakeholders. The customer support is extremely helpful and the implementation process was very quick.

Our previous Excel tracking table was neither user-friendly nor collaborative. The data was not updated automatically, unlike with Power BI, and we did not have the same level of granularity that we have now with innosabi. Additionally, our sheet was not standardized. Managing an Excel spreadsheet with more than 30 people made it difficult to maintain cleanliness. Therefore, innosabi was the perfect tool to meet our needs.
