The skilled trades are going digital
According to a recent survey, four out of five craft businesses say that
Bitkom survey that they are generally open-minded towards
the topic of digitalization.
Currently, 95% of craft businesses have their own website, 58% use software solutions to manage their operational processes and a quarter (25%) use modern digital technologies, such as 3D printers to produce spare parts or tracking systems for machines and materials.
This was the result of a representative survey commissioned by the digital association Bitkom in collaboration with the German Confederation of Skilled Crafts (ZDH).
