The Family Butchers, one of the leading producers of animal and plant-based sausage and ham products, faced the challenge of synchronizing a central contact list across different communication platforms. Microsoft Teams, DECT phones and iPhones needed to be seamlessly connected to improve internal communication. With sync.blue®, the company found the ideal solution to meet these requirements flexibly and securely.

The Family Butchers
The Family Butchers (TFB) is one of the leading meat product companies in Germany. The company produces a wide range of animal and plant-based sausage and ham products and supplies both national and international markets. With a strong focus on quality and tradition, The Family Butchers combines modern production methods with decades of experience in meat processing.
Communication Rethought
Smooth cross-departmental communication is crucial in order to manage the complex processes efficiently. The Family Butchers uses Microsoft Teams internally and externally, but was faced with a challenge: the production employees with DECT phones were not integrated into the central phone book and there was no standardized contact list on the company iPhones, which made internal communication extremely difficult.
sync.blue® Connects
With the sync.blue® cloud solution, a central phone book was introduced that TFB can manage independently and flexibly via an API. The data comes from internal, secure sources and is provided natively on the company iPhones - without additional Exchange accounts or apps. By providing the data via the application-neutral CardDAV protocol, the company also remains flexible for future requirements.
We provide The Family Butchers with a solution that not only covers current needs, but also offers long-term flexibility and security.
reports Oliver Baltz, CEO of sync.blue®.
So sync.blue® has developed a customized solution for The Family Butchers, including a user-defined Microsoft Teams integration. This solution has sustainably strengthened the communication structures at TFB since its implementation. The implementation process of sync.blue® also went smoothly thanks to the uncomplicated, friendly and professional cooperation.
Data Protection First
As a food production company, The Family Butchers has high security and data protection requirements. sync.blue® fully meets these requirements. With strong password protection and the option of WAN-IP whitelisting, the company can ensure that sensitive contact data are protected at all times. The solution is also fully GDPR-compliant and thus guarantees compliance with all relevant data protection guidelines.
Multifunctional Use

We were particularly impressed by Oliver Baltz's professionalism and understanding of our challenge. The versatility of the solution is a fantastic fit for our growing requirements. One of the next initiatives is to create a crisis team contact list that is to be synchronized from a SharePoint list and made available on various iPhones. Thanks to the flexibility and scalability of sync.blue®, we will be able to optimally adapt the cloud solution to our specific needs in the future.
