Kurts: Mobile Platform for DIY Tool Rent
A partnership that resulted in product ownership

The case
Kurts is a spin-off of a German family business, Kurt Köning, with more then 500 employees, operating in the construction industry since 1932. Kurt Köning approached us with an idea to expand their business with an entirely new business model: 365, 24/7 access to DYI construction tools and equipment, powered by a Mobile App.
Together with Kurt Köning we created the first tool sharing service worldwide, operated fully by a Mobile App, with very simple and easy processes, already functioning throughout Europe.

The outcome
The innovation was introduced to the public at the Mobile World Congress Expo in 2018. It received Germany’s Digital Champions Award’19 for the digitization of the regional economy.
The product is already launched in Germany, Lithuania, and Switzerland, planning further expansion all across Europe. Franchising allows an efficient Kurt’s tool-renting service adoption throughout many locations.

”We are extremely satisfied with TeleSoftas performance and very happy about the result. TeleSoftas has been an essential part of creating an outstanding start for the kurts© product.”
