How Kobold and Thermomix
sales are thriving in the digital age thanks to a new SAP solution.

The scenario using the example of Thermomix

Convincing at the kitchen table

Since the 1970s, Thermomix has inspired not only passionate home cooks but also anyone who values convenience, time savings, and effortless cooking. Vorwerk’s all-in-one kitchen assistant chops, cooks, steams, and weighs – and unlike most kitchen appliances, it isn’t sold in stores, but directly at the kitchen table.

Between date dip and warm bread with a cheese crust, Thermomix consultants invite customers into a hands-on culinary experience that blends cooking and conversation. But in a digital age, how can these personal encounters continue to create lasting customer relationships? And how can precise data and digital processes enhance direct sales without losing the human warmth that defines them?

The solution

One platform, two intelligent SAP-based assistants

Together with Vorwerk, Syskoplan Reply has developed a tailor-made solution based on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This new cloud-based app replaces handwritten notes, flyers, and paper order forms, bringing digital structure to Vorwerk’s international direct sales operations. At the same time, it supports Thermomix consultants throughout the entire sales journey – freeing up more time for personal interaction and authentic customer experiences.

VORyou – the digital sales assistant

Anyone hosting a Thermomix demonstration today has more than just the perfect recipe for homemade strawberry ice cream at hand – they have VORyou on their tablet. Whether presenting the latest Thermomix model or sharing recipe inspiration, VORyou equips consultants with everything they need to deliver engaging, seamless demonstrations.

The app provides instant access to product videos, digital information materials, and recipe content, while also enabling direct order entry and customer feedback – all digitally, intuitively, and in real time. The result: less paperwork, smoother processes, and more space for what truly matters – genuine personal connection.

VORleads – the automated back office

Behind the scenes, VORleads manages all lead and customer activities with smart automation. From task assignments and reminders to customer tracking, the system ensures a transparent, structured overview of every interaction. Consultants can focus on their customers, while VORleads handles the organisational details efficiently and reliably.

The result

Thanks to Syskoplan Reply, Vorwerk has seamlessly combined efficiency and emotion in its Thermomix and Kobold sales.
