"Guarantees are an integral part of commercial and public construction projects. However, the associated administrative processes are still very manual and therefore time-consuming and often prone to errors. It took several days for guarantees to reach the recipient. Our system provides a remedy: it delivers a smart, digital and secure solution for creating and managing digital guarantees. With the support of adesso's IT experts, we are setting a new market standard for everyone involved in the guarantee process."
Digital platform for managing guarantees

Guarantee Administration
But quick an deasy
Jonathan Szejnmann, Managing Director of Trustlog GmbH
Project
The construction industry requires fast and flexible financing leeway. Medium-sized and large construction projects in particular are usually multi-million undertakings involving several stakeholders. Employers of the construction project therefore require guarantees as security to ensure that both their subcontractors carry out the project successfully, and that there is a guarantee that the work will last beyond the completion of the project. In the construction industry, therefore, the motto is ‘time is money’.
The previous paper-based processes had numerous disadvantages: system breaks, time-consuming mailing, lengthy process times per guarantee, complicated individual content checks, different filing structures. Conclusion: The paper-based guarantee led to problems for everyone involved. The insurance companies R+V and VHV therefore decided to develop a digital solution that would make the issuing, management and storage of guarantees a user-friendly, secure and fast process for both the client of the construction project and the guarantor and contractor.
