The Customer’s Challenge

Our customer, Mercedes-Benz AG, manufactures and sells vehicles worldwide. To do so, the on-screen texts in the vehicles must be translated into the languages of all target markets and, when changes are made for new model variants, consistently updated and deployed. At the start of the project, the underlying maintenance and management processes could only be handled with great effort without a modern digitalization solution for all activities and artifacts.

The Joint Solution

As part of a multi-year collaboration with our client, Mercedes-Benz AG, we have launched a new development to replace the existing solution with the end-to-end “Whytex” system for creating and managing display texts in production vehicles. This system is designed to enable the text management for different generations of vehicles as well as the associated translation orders for the respective markets. As a result, those responsible have an overview of the available text modules and the status of ongoing translation processes at all times.

IT-Designers’ Contribution

The tasks carried out by us included not only the design of the software architecture but also its implementation as an application based on modern web technologies in combination with a scalable container framework.

This was carried out as part of an agile and iterative development process in close collaboration with the client over a period of 4 years by a team of 6 people.

Not only the technical expertise of our employees, but also our long-standing partnership with Mercedes-Benz AG and our understanding of the industry were key to our success.
