Sports car fans swoon when they hear a
V8 engine. When a new model is avail
able, all of the features are tested precisely.
Because knowledge about the respective
special increases the fun of driving. That’s
no different with the newest version of
LFS. Look forward to seeing what pow-
erful package we will put on the road
for you. In the following, we will present
some initial highlights.
From the start, the development of the
V8 followed the motto: LFS goes mobile.
Because customers today want to access
their data securely and easily, from any
where. LFS version 8 opens the gate to
the Android world and thus opens up a
new dimension of mobility. You can not
only connect industry-quality end de-
vices with LFS, you can also select from
the huge range of products on the market
based on your tastes and budget. Based on
the principle: Bring your own device. The
warehouse managers no longer just sit in
their offices, but instead maintain an over-
view from anywhere on a smart phone or
tablet. LFS V8 proves that absolute mo-
bility is no longer a Utopia, but is actually
becoming a reality.
Mobility doesn’t just mean independence
for every employee. It also means that the
planning and controls are completely dy-
namic, for instance, due to the complete
overhaul of the tour management func-
tions. Here, internal and external logistics
are combined in one powerful unit. Truck
drivers profit from the results of this plan-
ning; they can use the Trucker app on
their own smart phone to stay in touch
with the central office throughout their
entire tour via the Internet.
The V8 also unites voice-controlled pick-
ing and screen dialogs in one unit. The
speed of Pick-by-Voice can now be sup-
plemented by the precision of an intelli-
gent screen display. Pick-by-Voice and
Pick-by-Vision meld into one innovative
complete solution.
A huge product development team stands
behind the V8, which completed the new-
est version of LFS in about an 18-months
development period. Four different di-
visions work closely together to develop
the optimum customer solution. With
his team, Rainer Reese, nearly part of the
decor with his more than 19 years at the
company, combines ideas from logistics
and technology experts into one software
solution. He also deals with the quality
assurance of E+P products in cooperation
with the quality assurance team. These
colleagues are determined to deliver this
software without errors. “This way, we can
provide our customers with a complete
package with full performance from the
start,” explains Reese. He adds, “With V8
engines it’s the same; they are tested down
to the last detail before they are put into
vehicles and on the road. This diligence
in quality assurance is one of our greatest
strengths when actually making innova-
tions usable.”
As a native northerner, Rainer Reese al-
ready knows how he will celebrate the in-
troduction to the market: with young salt-
ed herring, pickled herring and salmon off
the grill. When using new technologies in
his daily life, he follows the same principle
as his customers at E+P: Updates are only
useful if they also offer added value. For
instance, he uses his smart phone to look
for a restaurant in Florence, but doesn’t
then immediately tweet about the treats
on his plate.
