Tool tests are a crucial part of a company's digital transformation. They make it possible to find and implement the right digital tools for the company's specific needs. Tool testing plays a central role in the KIROI system, which offers a structured approach to the implementation of AI tools. Decision-makers use tool tests to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different software solutions and make the best choice of tool.
The importance of tool tests
The benefit of tool testing lies in its ability to provide decision-makers with a clear and structured approach to selecting the right tools for their organisation. These processes start with the definition of clear criteria based on the objectives of the project. Questions such as „What are the main requirements of our organisation?“ or „How can we increase efficiency?“ help to identify the right tools[1][3].
Practical application of tool tests
A common example from logistics shows how tool tests can lead to the identification of AI-supported solutions for demand forecasting and route optimisation. Companies report improved utilisation of their resources through more precise planning[1]. In marketing, tool tests can increase reach when automating personalised campaigns and lead to a more targeted influx of customers. The test phase provides valuable information on which software solutions react flexibly to different requirements[1].
Tool tests in KIROI step 2
In KIROI step 2, tool tests play a decisive role in the evaluation and selection of AI tools. This process is supported by targeted coaching to make it easier for decision-makers to define the appropriate criteria. During the test phase, it is important to systematically collect feedback and document the results transparently in order to present the integration effort and costs in a comprehensible manner[1][3].
Support through coaching
Coaching during tool tests helps companies to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different tools and to make the right decisions. The involvement of specialist departments and end users can increase the acceptance of new tools within the team[1].
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract)A logistics company used tool tests to select an AI-supported system for route optimisation. Through structured evaluations, the company was able to increase the efficiency of its supply chains by 15%. This example shows how tool tests can contribute to the sustainable optimisation of business processes.
Conclusion of the tool tests
Overall, tool tests are an indispensable part of a company's digital strategy. They make it possible to select the right tools and increase efficiency by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different solutions. By integrating tool testing into KIROI Step 2, companies can optimise their investments and improve the effectiveness of their digital transformation.
My analysis
Tool tests are not only a necessary step in the evaluation of software solutions, but also a decisive factor for the success of companies in the digital transformation. Thanks to their systematic approach, they support decision-makers in selecting the right tools and promote the acceptance of these tools within the team. Integration into KIROI Step 2 enables companies to better evaluate investments and increase efficiency through optimised processes.
