Ship-it Days: Developing ideas and trying out new things

Ship-it Days 2024

Our Ship-it Days are more than just a change from the daily work routine – they are our stage for creative ideas, team spirit and innovation. Since 2015, we have been creating a space for ourselves to express what drives us every day in new ways. All participants – whether developers, customer advisors or sales experts – work in interdisciplinary teams on projects that surprise, inspire and further develop Inxmail. It's always exciting to see what comes out of it – be it new features, automations, or simply an innovative approach to everyday tasks. In this blog post, we show how ideas are turned into tangible results.

Testing new ways of working and problem-solving

Our Ship-it Days give Inxmailers the opportunity to develop projects that advance both our products and our culture. Team Gaia, for example, which deals with sustainability, was once created during these days. Working together across departments promotes fresh perspectives and brings together colleagues who rarely have contact in their day-to-day work.

For two days, the Inxmailers develop and fine-tune new ideas – and then present remarkable results to the assembled group. The presentations always elicit many “aha” moments and even more applause. Finally, everyone celebrates their shared successes.

“What I find exciting about Ship-it Days is diving deep into a topic that is not normally part of my daily work. It's also fun to get together with other colleagues and try something new.” 
Lucy Heid, Project Manager bei Inxmail

“Ship-it Days are a really exciting time! The advance recruitment of like-minded people in the weeks leading up to the event, the preliminary planning and then diving into the topic. The conclusion, when everyone comes together again and the successes are presented, is also interesting. I would recommend the event to all colleagues who want to network internally and do something outside of their everyday work.”

“What I particularly like about Ship-it Days is that you dare to try something that many people think is impossible. After the two days, I'm amazed that everyone came up with something really cool. I think it's great that you can also work with colleagues from completely different departments and teams. This changes both your perspective and your approach to solutions; it somehow becomes more creative and multi-layered.”
