FIS, in partnership with Voodoo Rocks, developed the VGR Sputnik mobile application for the Volkswagen Group Rus plant

2020: Development of the mobile application "VGR Sputnik"

From September 2019, during 2020, FIS, together with Voodoo Rocks, developed the VGR Sputnik mobile application for improving the internal communications system for the Volkswagen Group Rus plant. This was reported by the FIS on January 12, 2021. The main tasks of the application were to improve the awareness of the team, set up operational feedback and increase the efficiency of personnel management. The application is designed for several thousand intra-corporate users - the entire staff of the plant.

The application functionality allows employees to use it on the principle of a single window for timely receipt of company news, surveys, company vacancies, factory traffic schedules, dining room menus, photos and video reports from corporate events. The application also provides integration with the SAP system implemented in the enterprise.

One of the priorities of FIS is the active development of cooperation with international global brands, and the implementation of this project with the plant To Kaluga in is a systematic continuation of our long-term partnership with Volkswagen Group Rus. I am sure that this experience will contribute to strengthening our mutually beneficial relations.

Of course, the introduction of such mobile tools is a necessary step towards the digitalization of HR processes. In addition to the significant improvement in staff feedback channels with management, there is also an increase in the efficiency of interaction with staff, allowing direct receipt of information from the involved departments with minimization of personal communication, which is very critical in the current conditions of compliance with quarantine measures.

This application was developed for the first time for the Volkswagen Group Rus company, similar developments were previously implemented only at foreign sites of the Volkswagen concern.
