We were first mentioned by Gartner because our customer Heidelberger Druckmaschinen uses our integrated "ERP solution for IT," which addresses the company's entire value chain by linking business processes and master data with IT services and applications. This tool has given CIO a 360-degree view of IT's contribution to the company's success.

First app for employee staffing

Our first software already had a focus on technology, innovation and efficiency. This app enabled users to easily assign employees to different projects and keep track of the resources used. It also provided a clear overview of the total resources allocated. In addition, the release status of staffing for each project could be easily monitored.

The development of the brand identity

2021

Current logo

In the course of our development into a single-product company, it was obvious to choose the name "Bee360". Our product was already named "Bee4IT", and both names contained the element "bee". This decision solidified our brand identity, as previously there was no thematic connection between "Bee4IT" as a product name and "Clausmark" as a company name.

The third logo

We have revised our logo to reflect the evolution of our company from a pure consulting firm to one with a product offering. The word "consulting" was intentionally omitted from the logo to demonstrate our new focus.

The second logo

We redesigned our logo to address design challenges, specifically the impracticality of using it as a thumbnail. Our goal was to create a strong and professional brand identity.
