Challenge

The Challenge

d&b audiotechnik, founded by Juergen Daubert and Rolf Belz, has evolved from a garage in Backnang to a globally recognized company for professional sound systems.

At d&b audiotechnik, various departments — IT, Digital Office, Marketing, Development — work with processes for which no off-the-shelf software exists. Excel-based workarounds, lack of multi-user capability, and no integration into the digital infrastructure. d&b needed a partner to close these gaps with custom web applications — not as a one-off project, but as a long-term development partner.

Solution

The Solution

arocom develops for d&b audiotechnik not a single tool, but a portfolio of internal web applications — for different departments, with different requirements. Some on Drupal, some headless, always aligned with the corporate design.

Process Analysis

The existing Excel logic was fully analyzed and documented before development began. This ensured no domain knowledge was lost.

Custom Web Application

The web application maps the complex business logic — with a user interface that matches d&b audiotechnik's corporate design.

Corporate Design Compliance

Every interface element follows d&b's brand guidelines. The application integrates seamlessly into the company's digital landscape.

Digitization Instead of Workarounds

Instead of file-based workarounds, there is now a structured, digital process with clear user roles and versioning.

Results

Multiple departments now work with professional web applications instead of file-based workarounds — multi-user capable, versioned, and corporate design compliant. d&b audiotechnik is extremely satisfied and has trusted arocom as a long-term development partner since the company's earliest days.

Stefan Foerg Client, Google Review

What has arocom developed for d&b audiotechnik?

Not a single tool, but many internal web applications for various departments: IT, Digital Office, Marketing, and Development. Custom solutions where no off-the-shelf software exists — some on Drupal, some headless.

Does arocom also develop custom applications outside of Drupal?

Yes. arocom develops custom web applications for complex business processes. The experience from over 160 Drupal projects since 2012 flows into every solution — regardless of the technology used.

What does process digitization mean in this context?

An Excel-based business process was transformed into a professional web application: multi-user capable, versioned, corporate design compliant, and integrated into the digital infrastructure.

How does arocom ensure that business logic is correctly transferred?

Through a structured process analysis before development begins. The existing logic is fully documented and validated with the department before a single line of code is written.
