Benjamin Tobler

Business Informatics. Power Platform Consultant. From St. Gallen.

Hello, I'm Benjamin Tobler

I'm a business informatics professional with a passion for digital solutions that don't just work, but are a joy to use.

My focus is on User Experience and Usability. Because I'm convinced: the best technology is worthless if nobody wants to use it. With every project, I first ask myself: How can I design this solution to be as intuitive, efficient, and pleasant to use as possible?

With a background in Microsoft Power Platform and modern web development, I offer the technical know-how to realize this vision. My experience at companies like SBB, Emmi, and adesso has shown me how important it is to bring technology and people together.

Besides my work, I've been a passionate basketball player for 20 years, a trained coach, and I serve on the board of St. Otmar Basket as the person responsible for digitalization. Team sports have taught me that the best results come from working together and listening to each other – exactly what I bring to my client projects.

How I Work

First Understand, Then Build

A few principles I follow with every project.

◈

Understand First, Develop Second

Before I write a line of code, I take time to truly understand user needs. Who are they? What do they want to achieve? Where are their pain points?

◇

Simplicity Over Complexity

The most elegant solution is often the simplest. I strive for clear, intuitive interfaces that need no training and make daily work easier.

○

Feedback Early and Often

I develop iteratively and regularly get feedback from real users. This creates solutions that are actually used – and don't end up in a drawer.

□

Details Make the Difference

From micro-interactions to error messages – the small things decide whether an application feels professional and pleasant.
