Your personal dashboard
Your GOBENCH dashboard offers a unique experience with customizable favorites, real-time updates, personalized notifications and full-text search across all benchmarking topics. It provides a clear overview of product and process comparisons, technology insights, function overviews, as well as cost and market analyses – so that users always have quick access to the most relevant data.
Detailed view
The detailed view in GOBENCH gives users a comprehensive overview of all information on a specific dataset or product. It includes templates for various data types, the ability to store images and attachments, and options to add comments and additional information to each attribute, such as entry instructions or technical drawings.
Detailed view – tree structure
For complex products, GOBENCH allows for the flexible combination of datasets, clustering and linking various topics. It enables multiple links for components used in different products, revealing relationships and creating synergies while reducing maintenance effort through the reuse of existing datasets.
Data pool
Quickly access data pools through favorites or dashboard topics. View and filter all available datasets for personalized analysis and competitive comparisons, including your own and competitors’ products. Switch directly to detailed product views from the data pool list.
Map view
Add address fields in the module view to display data geographically. Use the map’s navigation tools and legend to visualize paths between modules, such as from production to development.
Analysis – charts
Visualize datasets with bar or network diagrams for quick performance insights. Use the button in the right corner to view the legend. Compare up to 100 datasets by default or customize your comparison with checkboxes.
Analysis – table view
Compare all data fields from the selected modules in a table format to quickly compare admin-created systems and easily spot which values are performing well or poorly.
Analysis – summary
The summary is the core of the analysis, allowing you to select a reference product (e.g. an Audi A5) and compare it with all others in an instant. Choose the module under “Select reference product” to see benchmarking calculations for each system module.
Roadmap
The roadmap is a unique way to visualize data from various systems. Admins can set the display to highlight different time elements. This example shows vehicle construction years, from earliest to most recent. The chart displays filtered data for Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, with green data points indicating vehicle production years. Different colors can be used for highlighting. Here, only the Mercedes-Benz systems are expanded. Each unfilled data point represents a system, indicating a car produced in that year.
Relations
Our software features an innovative Relation Graph that visually maps the intricate relationships within your data sets. Effortlessly explore connections such as which locations are tied to specific products, which products are built on certain platforms, and the associated suppliers for each. With intuitive smart selection and targeted expansion features, you can uncover the full network of relationships, gain deeper insights, and perform detailed analyses with ease.

New User Interface for GOBENCH
GOBENCH is introducing a new user interface with a responsive design. That means that GOBENCH automatically adapts to the screen size of your device, whether it’s a computer, tablet or phone. Thanks to Progressive Web App (PWA) technology, many functions work offline. As a result, there is no need to install a separate app.
Furthermore, you can capture pictures, videos and audio when collecting data, such as during the teardown process or at fairs, and even include GPS data. It enables audio messages and voice-to-text, and makes it easy to quickly review benchmarking data before visiting a customer.
It is even possible to create QR codes with GOBENCH that you can scan with your mobile to open specific modules or systems.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Our Bill of Materials (BOM) functionality in the GOBENCH system provides a comprehensive overview of product structures, supported by data aggregation and intuitive graphical visualisation. Using interactive 3D models, users can create visual 'slices' through products to gain detailed insight into components and assemblies. This is complemented by clear diagrams, such as pie charts, which show weight and material proportions, enabling clear analysis of product composition. Ideal for in-depth technical analysis and rapid decision making.
PowerPoint export
System administrators can easily create a template for PowerPoint export. They just need to link the data types from the modules to be used. Then, an export for each module can be created with a click. The example shows the Audi A6.
BHTC
The benchmark studies that were carried out enabled us to identify a trend in the developmental orientation of our closest competitors, including the technologies used. From this, the company's own market position was recognized and key areas of development were derived.
Bosch Siemens Homeappliance
GOBENCH enables us to bring together benchmark results from the individual areas of BSH and to optimize global collaboration and networking of the benchmarking teams. The structured data storage and the individual analysis options are the basis for achieving our goals: GOBENCH supports us in development and production, helps us save time and costs and improve the quality of our products. The competent support from employees of INDEC helps us to achieve extensive penetration and use of the system throughout the group.
Claas
Since Claas has core know-how in the various areas of agricultural engineering and has to handle this accordingly across all levels in a user-oriented manner, the company was looking for ways to link all fields with one another and make the know-how even more valuable. GOBENCH is a useful tool for this.
ZF Lifetec
I would like to express my appreciation for your team’s outstanding support in the migration and development of our ZF Lifetec Benchmarking Database on the GoBench platform. The INDEC project management team has done an exceptional job managing the project and has been a tremendous resource as we explore new use cases and additional ways to leverage your software.
I am grateful for the opportunity to start using your product and look forward to continued collaboration between our companies. I believe there is great potential for us to learn and grow together.
Continental
Since 2012, Conti has been using the GOBENCH system to regularly identify relevant parameters, including questions relating to product technology and cost analyzes. The information obtained is not only sent to the internal customer who formulated the specific question, but also to other departments in the company that access the knowledge gained. Before that, Conti had an independently developed solution based on a Sharepoint server. However, due to the complex requirements of all product areas at Conti, this could not be further developed as needed.
Mercedes Benz
For us, benchmarking is a continuous process to improve our products through evaluated benchmark results. Structured and targeted benchmarking with the support of the GOBENCH, which is geared towards our needs, leads us to save time, costs and capacities in product development, including investigations of the product maturity level.
Hilti
Within a few weeks, HILTI received the complete implementation of the newly defined benchmark process as well as the appropriate data structures. The GOBENCH benchmarking system developed by INDEC was implemented quickly and smoothly in the company. The expansion of GOBENCH to the next business units at HILTI will follow shortly.
Joyson Safety
GOBENCH is accessible from anywhere in the world and allows us data sharing in an international scale. What we appreciate is the flexibility of the database, but yet allowed for much more organized structure of the data collected to allow easy comparisons. With GOBENCH we reduce specific searches and data collection from days to minutes.
Kirchhoff
Within about a month, Kirchhoff received a complete, functional GOBENCH system including all query and evaluation options in the corporate design. The employees were trained so that minor adjustments and extensions could be implemented on their own after a short time. Due to the success of this pilot, further products with product-specific recording standards were implemented in GOBENCH before the planned date. Here, too, INDEC provided support.
Magna
With the introduction of GOBENCH, Magna Seating created a global information system to support development in the areas of competitive analysis, technology analysis and best practice. In further steps, findings from internal projects and the resulting best practice solutions were also integrated into the new GOBENCH system and made available to all users.
Miele
One of the challenges in a continuous benchmarking process is to collect a large amount of information and store it in a structured manner. The GOBENCH system offers us a flexible and suitable platform for this. Products, assemblies, components, concepts and product-specific features can thus be easily compared and analyzed with one another.
MTU Aero Engines
GOBENCH enables us to structure the, in some cases, very heterogeneous data as required and to make it accessible across the entire company. The flexibility of the database allows us to meet the diverse and often new tasks which come from the market. Due to that, GOBENCH is used in addition to the the technical competition analysis for the evaluation and analysis of market data.
ThyssenKrupp
With the GOBENCH IQ system, we have found a way to turn the individual knowledge of individual employees into organizational knowledge that everyone in the company can access. The decision to switch to the GOBENCH system was made in light of the company's own resources. We wanted a more professional solution including support and no longer a more or less exotic in-house development. With increasing complexity and increased demands on the part of management, GOBENCH is significantly more efficient; the development costs are borne by many companies and not just one.
Warema
All marketing information is now available company-wide to the employees involved via the web-based GOBENCH system. The market situation can now be analyzed quickly and easily and the market strategy can be aligned as best as possible on the basis of an objectified benchmarking process. In the future, WAREMA can easily expand the content and tasks to include product benchmarking, e.g. for sun sails, awnings, etc. with GOBENCH.
ZF
Our goals in the benchmarking process such as:
- Standardization of data acquisition, analysis and evaluation
- Cross-location and worldwide availability of the benchmark data
- Interdisciplinary exchange of benchmark data
are sustainably supported by the implementation of GOBENCH.
