Company
Tata Steel Colorcoat, based in North Wales, are experts in the design and manufacture of pre-finished steel products for building envelope, metal roofing, and steel cladding.
Challenge
With over 500 employees across a large site, Tata Steel sought to improve the performance and reliability of its “All Improvements Matter” ideas scheme. In 2011, they aimed to move away from a paper-based process and began exploring online solutions.
Solution
The Keto Ideas Management module was implemented to digitize the scheme for all employees. The platform was tailored to match the site’s organizational structure, replicating divisions and workflows. Submitted ideas were automatically routed to managers for review and decision. The system also provided automated email reminders, duplicate detection, idea grouping, and personalized dashboards for leadership oversight.
“Keto Software enables our people to share and track their ideas online. The system is user-friendly, transparent, and reliable — employees can see what’s happening with their ideas at any time”
