Solving logistical problems has attracted the founder of FLS, Thomas Brechtel, since the beginning of his professional career. He already earned his spurs as a logistics consultant and software developer during his mathematics studies. His approach was to approach the optimisation of routes and deadlines mathematically by developing algorithms, but always keeping the real process in mind. He quickly realised that this approach could save a lot of money, not only in logistics but also in service and sales units.
After more than 30 years of continuous research and development, countless software implementations and process optimisations, not only has the world's best real-time software for scheduling and route planning been created, but also a huge pool of know-how from various industries and business cases.
We will bring your goals to life with you step by step:
From consulting to project support to customer service.

HOW CAN FLS ASSIST YOU?
CONSULTING SERVICES
Process know-how in logistics, service and sales
First we evaluate the process efficiency, planning quality and cost structure of your field service organisation. From this we create a concept with targeted measures for sustainable optimisation. This can always evolve during a project. With agile methods, we keep the sceptre in our hands. Through regular retrospectives, we evaluate optimisation results, create and adjust suitable key performance indicator systems for strategic and operational use.

Automation & Digitisation of Processes
At the beginning there is an analysis of your processes with regard to automation and digitalisation potential. We provide you with implementation concepts for a step-by-step transformation. You don't want to let the opportunities of digitalisation pass you by and offer your customers real added value through technological advantage? Let us develop new business models for your service together.

Customer Service Experience
End customers expect the right solution for their needs and problems and have not expected a template service for a long time. We offer you know-how and the right software to implement an excellent service experience: 24/7 communication via online appointment portals, desired appointments and short time windows, real-time appointment information, multi-channel communication. But we also get your after-sales business moving.

Change Management
The introduction of software and the accompanying process optimisation brings all those involved into a major change situation. The focus should not be on the software, but on the employees involved. We advise decision-makers and implementers to accompany the implementation of the software with careful consideration and holistic planning.

PROJECTS

Project management
Software implementations require agile project management in order to benefit from important impulses during the project phase for the optimal use of the software. By using proven project methods such as PMI and Prince2, we give your project team and management structure and orientation even in very agile phases. Transparent phase-oriented project reporting ensures the information needs of all stakeholders.

Knowledge Transfer
In addition to the technical implementation of the software, it is important to anchor the knowledge with the users. Only if the knowledge is initially imparted and permanently kept vital can the potential of the software unfold. Together with you, we design a training concept including comprehensive documentation tailored to your target groups in the company.

Our customers are each assigned to a permanent account manager, who is therefore very familiar with their individual cases. We have service teams operating from our headquarters in Germany with a German and English language service for the DACH region, in the Netherlands for Dutch speakers, and in the UK for FLS UK customers.
