About
The line is decided on the shop floor. The training is planned somewhere else.
Both decisions are made in different places, at different times and in different files. What is missing is the shared object.
QualiShift is a brand of CITO GmbH. The product is being built.
Both sides plan carefully
- Capital plan and equipment date
- Ramp-up curve and volumes
- Sites and units affected
- Job titles pulled from the HR system
- Completed courses in the learning system
- Offers sitting in an inbox as PDF files
A record that states it plainly: this equipment changes the work of this group, and that produces this learning need.
The observation
Both sides work carefully, just not on the same object. The connection lives in people's heads and disappears when the person responsible moves on.
The split is organisational, not only technical. Transformation belongs to engineering or a programme office, training to people development, and the two plan on their own rhythms.
Where the information sits today
- Capital and equipment planning
- Knows dates, technology and capacity precisely. Knows the workforce only as a headcount and a shift pattern.
- HR system
- Knows contracts and cost centres. Describes people through job titles rather than the work they actually do.
- Learning management system
- Knows completed courses and mandatory briefings. It looks backwards and knows nothing of the current initiative.
- Training providers' offers
- Arrive as brochures or course lists, each with its own vocabulary and no link to a specific role in the plant.
- The works council
- Asks for documents that would only come out of connecting those four sources.

Position
What we stand for
Four decisions shape the product. They are also the reason why QualiShift deliberately does less than would be technically possible in a few places.
Explainability before automation
Every assignment traces back to its origin: initiative, unit, activity, skill, source. A recommendation nobody can explain is worthless in a conversation with a works council.
Groups before individual cases
We work on role clusters, not on personnel files. A programme for a group can be planned and booked, and a group needs no personality profile.
Codetermination from the start
The works council codetermines training measures and must be informed on the basis of documents. Those documents should fall out of the work itself, not out of a late night before the meeting.
Saying where the limits are
QualiShift is not built below 500 employees. We assess no funding eligibility, replace no workforce planning and judge no individual people.
A tool that proposes an assignment nobody can explain has not solved the problem. It has only made it faster.
Status
Where the product stands
If you have an initiative under way and want to know whether QualiShift fits it, a conversation is the shortest route. We also say no.
Being built
The product is taking shape with first partner companies that bring a decided initiative and criticise intermediate versions hard.
First market
Vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers, where the trigger is clearest and the time pressure highest.
No references
No customer logos, no quotes, no impact figures, because they do not exist yet. Everything shown as an example is marked as one.
Brand, legal entity and responsibility
QualiShift is a brand of CITO GmbH, based in Hamburg. Contracts are concluded with CITO GmbH, which is also the counterparty for data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR.
