Box Inc., a leader in cloud content management, today announced
that Alcopa has moved its workforce to Box. Alcopa is a
Belgium-based, global investment firm specializing in automotive
and motorcycle import, distribution and retail. It employs over
2,300 people across more than 20 countries, and comprises over 90
individual companies.
“We work with up to 5,000 external partners across our
dealerships who share and collaborate on documents around the
world,” said Stijn Stabel, Head of Architecture and Innovation at
Alcopa. “Box is an important part of our integrated cloud-first
strategy, and has helped to power an entirely new way of managing
content at Alcopa.”
“Alcopa is a leader in its industry, operating in multiple
countries with thousands of collaborators,” said Tom Addis, senior
vice president and general manager of global operations at Box.
“The IT team is delivering a modern way for employees and partners
to work in a smarter way, and we’re thrilled to help power their
digital transformation.”
Since 2016, Alcopa has been using Box to:
- Enable secure collaboration between
internal and external partners
- Bridge the gap between the technology
employees use at home and what they use at work, responding to the
workplace shift towards mobile
- Transition from on-premise Network File
System to power pure cloud content management
- Provide additional security around
content by deploying Box Governance
- Safely store and provide remote access
to technical information on hundreds of vehicles and customers in
its supply chain
- Mitigate duplication and loss of work
through document version control on Box
- Act as the content layer for existing
cloud technology-stack
- Drive compliance for different
legislations such as GDPR
“After 80 years of business, Alcopa’s data was primarily
non-digital and difficult to work with. Now that the data has been
migrated into Box, we’re excited about the potential to do more
with that information with future Box products such as Box Skills,”
said Stijn. “Extracting added insights from our content through AI
will be immensely useful for our business.”
