The Burkhalter Gruppe uses Seamless for efficient project work in Microsoft Teams. Efficient workflows, clear responsibilities, consistent structures, strong security, and simplicity are decisive factors for the total provider of cross-trade building technology.
The company achieves high efficiency by integrating Seamless into its industry solution Volta from Karakun. Volta acts as the leading system, while SharePoint serves as the document platform.
The Burkhalter project workflow
This is how Burkhalter opens, updates, and closes projects via Volta and Seamless in Microsoft Teams:
➡️ Project kick-off
- The project manager creates a new project in Volta.
- A Microsoft Teams workspace is automatically created — when needed — via the Seamless API based on a template.
- Consistent permissions, guest access, naming conventions, and content are generated automatically.
➡️ Project work
- Documents in Volta are automatically stored in SharePoint.
- Access rights are automatically updated when the project manager changes.
➡️ Project closure
- The project is archived in Volta.
- In Seamless, this activates the archiving function for the project manager.
- The defined archiving steps are executed automatically on request by the project manager.
The challenge
How can access to project data be easily managed for an entire group of companies when Microsoft Teams only supports Owners and Members?
Burkhalter takes advantage of a key Seamless capability here: in addition to group permissions, the governance solution for Microsoft 365 also supports SharePoint site permissions with Entra ID security groups. This enables secure and consistent access to project documents — without manual permission assignment.
Users access the data through the Seamless Teams App, which offers both a Groups view and a view based on SharePoint permissions. This makes the app the single point of entry and Seamless the perfect Teams manager.
