How Bilfinger relies on Domino for their mobile inventory needs 

Today we would like to introduce Bilfinger ROB, a piping and mechanical company that has been using Domino for over a decade. After facing integration with software of the corporate main office they did the math and concluded that keeping and integrating Domino was more efficient than simply moving to the corporate software stack completely.

Wat is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is slechts een proeftekst uit het drukkerij- en zetterijwezen. Lorem Ipsum is de standaard proeftekst in deze bedrijfstak sinds de 16e eeuw, toen een onbekende drukker een zethaak met letters nam en ze door elkaar husselde om een font-catalogus te maken. Het heeft niet alleen vijf eeuwen overleefd maar is ook, vrijwel onveranderd, overgenomen in elektronische letterzetting. Het is in de jaren ’60 populair geworden met de introductie van Letraset vellen met Lorem Ipsum passages en meer recentelijk door desktop publishing software zoals Aldus PageMaker die versies van Lorem Ipsum bevatten.

Waarom gebruiken we het?

Het is al geruime tijd een bekend gegeven dat een lezer, tijdens het bekijken van de layout van een pagina, afgeleid wordt door de tekstuele inhoud. Het belangrijke punt van het gebruik van Lorem Ipsum is dat het uit een min of meer normale verdeling van letters bestaat, in tegenstelling tot “Hier uw tekst, hier uw tekst” wat het tot min of meer leesbaar nederlands maakt. Veel desktop publishing pakketten en web pagina editors gebruiken tegenwoordig Lorem Ipsum als hun standaard model tekst, en een zoekopdracht naar “lorem ipsum” ontsluit veel websites die nog in aanbouw zijn. Verscheidene versies hebben zich ontwikkeld in de loop van de jaren, soms per ongeluk soms expres (ingevoegde humor en dergelijke).

Internal Applications, External Integrations

‘We’ve been working with GroupWave and Domino since way before my time and I’ve been here for over a decade!’ Diego Vos, ICT Teamleader at Bilfinger laughs, ‘Over time, we’ve built countless digital applications and integrations with Domino, and they’ve simply all been working perfectly.’

 

After becoming part of an international group, Bilfinger ROB was forced to adopt a number of centralized applications for timekeeping and ERP purposes. ‘It was a challenge to replace the previous systems as they were tailored exactly to our operational needs,’ Diego continues, ‘but luckily we’ve managed to integrate our other applications seamlessly’

 

To prove their continuing commitment to Domino, work is ongoing on a brand new mobile inventory management system. Bilfinger ROB services a large number of clients all over in Belgium and the Netherlands, and keeping track of their equipment can be an arduous task.

 

‘At the moment, we are in the process of adding barcodes to all our tools,’ Diego explains, ‘in the future, all our mobile offices will be able to easily procure and keep track of their tools.’ Thanks to Domino, each mobile team’s application syncs automatically with the central database, and the entire application integrates seamlessly with an SAP ERP system and an external timekeeping service.

GroupWave Expertise

The greatest tool is useless without the craftsmen to wield it, and that’s why GroupWave has always been Bilfinger’s partner of choice when it comes to their Domino systems, a relationship which dates back to the late 90’s!

 

‘Though the team has varied throughout the years, GroupWave has always been the perfect partner,’ Diego compliments, ‘they have always delivered very competent developers who really worked and thought with us to develop applications that were fully customised to our needs.
