Leading retailers rely on GK Software. Having established itself among the global players, Germany’s “hidden champion” is confidently repositioning itself with a new name and corporate design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Positioning.<\/strong> Goodbye IT and ERP, hello cloud. GK integrated cloud computing, AI, and machine learning into its system solutions very early on and distributed them via its own full-service platform as well as partners’ cloud computing platforms. To achieve future business goals, the company therefore needed to position itself as more agile and dynamic. The goal: easier access to new markets and more qualified recruitment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Naming.<\/strong> It’s GK! Among the new customers in the USA, \u2018GK\u2019 has become a short form of the name \u2018GK Software\u2019. Idea: The trademark, wordings, sub-brands and trademark protection are further developed around the much less formal-sounding initials. Result: New name + new identity = new self-perception<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Implementation.<\/strong> Once a year, employees from various locations gather. On this occasion, the new brand name, new logo, and updated corporate design were unveiled. In collaboration with the marketing team as well as in-house and freelance designers, the website was relaunched as the central platform and has since been gradually developed into a platform for brand management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
