The enjoyment of good quality lasts much longer than the short memory of a cheap purchase.
KÖTTER Services relies on long-term partnerships. We win the requisite trust of our customers for this through high quality services. For that reason, quality is a permanent component of our corporate philosophy.
Quality is on everyone's lips; every company makes it their motto. However, with KÖTTER Services, quality becomes tangible. Our entire process chain is consistently aligned toward a singular goal: fulfilling your needs. Only in this way can we gain your trust.
Industry-specific audits
In addition to external quality audits, we rely on annual internal audits which we supplement with industry-specific control standards. For example, our services with credit institutions are subjected to different quality controls than in the chemicals industry or in administration.
Testing before contract start
We perform feasibility studies before contract start. This ensures that we can produce the performance you demand, within the framework of our quality standards.
Start-up teams
Particularly in the case of large projects, we rely on the integration of start-up teams during conceptualization and at the start of the implementation phase which consist of employees with many years of experience and specialized know-how. They support the project team and ensure that our services start smoothly.
Information & communication
Open and regular communication is an important foundation for the successful implementation of projects. We closely integrate everyone involved in the project starting in the initial phase and inform them at regular intervals about the progress of the project.
This transparent communication guarantees that all project participants have an identical state of knowledge at all times.
In order to always meet your requirements and to adapt to changing framework conditions, we additionally hold regular feedback meetings with you and our responsible company executives. In addition to general organizational criteria, these meetings particularly focus on the implementation of our services. All of the resulting outcomes are incorporated into daily work and ensure a high quality of service.
Ideas management
In addition to the aforementioned feedback meetings, the opinions and experiences of our employees are an important component of our service quality. We encourage our employees to scrutinize processes and to report resulting ideas and improvement suggestions to their supervisors. These proposals are evaluated and the resulting measures are implemented in consultation with the customer.
The MQA teams (Mobile Quality Assurance)
As an additional measure enacted to maintain the agreed level of quality, we rely on the use of Mobile Quality Assurance teams. The members of the MQA teams are specially trained experts who function detached from the operational structures and report directly to corporate management. The MQA teams perform independent and unannounced inspections of all customer properties and review and evaluate the agreed processes and existing framework conditions. We regularly inform you regarding the outcomes of these measures and the resulting optimizations.
