About Lödige Industries

Lödige Industries provides innovative solutions across a wide range of lifting and logistics systems. They are the global market leader in Automated Car Park Systems as well as in Air CargoTerminal solutions.

Despite continuous growth and a truly globalpresence, Lödige has maintained a strong, family-oriented company culture. Thiscombination of global expertise and close collaboration defines who they are.

The Challenge

As Lödige continued to grow, the volume and complexity of incoming projects increased significantly. With each new tender came hundreds of pages of specifications, compliance documents, and technical requirements. Maintaining a clear overview of every customer requirement becameincreasingly difficult.

The growing volume of documentation made theanalysis process highly time-consuming. In many cases, a single team member was responsible for extracting all requirements from a tender package before any engineering decisions could be made or any departments could be involved. This created a significant bottleneck.

At the same time, Lödige holds itself to the highest standards: every customer requirement must be addressed with precision and deep technical expertise. But with the sheer number of compliance decisionsto be made per project, achieving that level of thoroughness efficiently wasbecoming a real challenge.

Why AI-Powered Requirements Analysis

The requirement extraction process alone could take several days for a single employee, without any decisions being madeor relevant departments being involved during that time. Days of engineering capacity consumed before the actual work even began.

Lödige needed a solution that would allow them to respond faster to tenders and change orders, make better use of their engineering resources, and enable teams to collaborate on documents simultaneously with a clear view of what still needed clarification.

AI-powered requirements analysis offered exactly this potential: accelerating extraction, improving transparency across the organization, and enabling earlier cross-team collaboration.

The Impact

The effort required for document and requirements extraction has already been significantly reduced. Since Lödige operates in an industry where projects span long timelines, full ROI metrics will follow as projects reach completion, but the operational impact is alreadyclear.

Centralized collaboration: Booma has created a single platform where relevant departments can contribute their expertise and answer questions directly,replacing the previous bottleneck of one person handling everything alone.

Better visibility: Both the Sales team and Project Management now have amuch clearer overview of open topics, enabling them to clarify questions more efficiently; whether internally with departments or externally with subcontractors and customers.

Faster response cycles: By removing the days-long extraction bottleneck, teams can now start making engineering decisions earlier in the process.

Advice for Other Companies

AI solutions like Booma significantly reduce the effort required for documentation-heavy and repetitive tasks, allowing companies to focus their resources on higher-value activities such as actually fulfilling customer requirements rather than just cataloguing them.

As an early partner, Lödige has a direct lineto Booma’s product team. Their feedback actively shapes the roadmap, and they’ve seen features improve in real time based on their input. It’s a partnership that improves both the tool and their own internal processes.
