Autumn mood at the GLI

The sun is gradually retreating into its fall quarters. Time for a look at our beautiful company lighting. When the sky turned pink the other day and the first leaves fell from the trees, it was the perfect moment to capture the atmosphere of our new office building and office space.

The lights from our corporate lighting create a welcoming and cozy mood that is especially appreciated during the cooler months of the year. It’s amazing how the right lighting can affect employee productivity and well-being. Not only can the right lighting lift the mood, it can also boost concentration and creativity. Bright, well-placed light sources can help reduce fatigue and relieve eye strain, while warm light creates a relaxing atmosphere. It is important to combine different light sources to create both functional and cozy areas. GLI Business Solutions GmbH attaches great importance to the feel-good factor for employees: this includes very good technical conditions, working at high tables or remotely is possible, drinks are provided. There are many other benefits that optimize working at GLI. Perhaps we have piqued your interest, then send us an unsolicited application to https://www.gli-bs.de/.

GLI Business Solutions GmbH arranges
Offsite meeting in beautiful Schleswig-Holstein

We are pleased to give you a review of our successful collana Management Offsite Meeting 2024.
From June 12 to 14, 2024, we met at the impressive Hotel Breitenburg in Schleswig-Holstein.

The program included exciting presentations and barcamp sessions, which were introduced by a creative round of introductions. All the pearls, as we call the companies in the collana group, presented their software solutions, such as our MAIN-TOOL maintenance software.
Presentations provided valuable insights into the collana Group’s various innovative products and their possible applications.

A golf taster course was particularly enjoyable. A beautiful 27-hole course of the Schloss Breitenburg Golf Club right next to the Hotel Breitenburg leads its guests through Schleswig-Holstein’s marshes, geest and hills, including avenues, bends and moors. Challenges for golfers of all levels, such as island greens and bunkers are available.

The outstanding culinary delights rounded off the event perfectly.
The chef, who has already proven his art in several first-class restaurants, is responsible for the consistently high quality of Restaurant Johann at Hotel Breitenburg. Together with his highly motivated kitchen team, the focus is on guest satisfaction – and, of course, enjoyment.

Offsite meeting, a complete success!

In the informal atmosphere of the meeting, the constructive cooperation of all participants was particularly noticeable. The shared passion and the will to achieve more made the meeting a complete success.

With its beautiful natural setting, first-class golf course, excellent cuisine and large wellness area, the Hotel Breitenburg provided the perfect setting for our offsite meeting.

HE System Electronic gains transparency with MAIN-TOOL Maintenance Software

Written by Eyke Szopieray on 11. January 2023. Posted in News.

Interview with Bjoern Koch, TPM Manager, 2022

HE System Electronic was founded in its original form in 1984.

The firm has two clear focus areas in its activities. The development and production of customized electronic modules and sensors, and power electronics. In these two divisions the field of microsystem technology and heating of semiconductors. It comprises a team of over 100 employees.

How did the cooperation with GLI and the introduction of MAIN-TOOL as maintenance software
come about?

The schedule management of the equipment to be maintained at HE System Electronic was acquired in the 2000s.
The maintenance was maintained via an Access database.

Due to a certification (IATF 16949) there was a requirement for a new computer based maintenance concept.

HE System Electronic went on the search for a CMMS.

COSMO CONSULT had always been a partner for HE System Electronic’s ERP system.

GLI with its maintenance software MAIN-TOOL was, suggested by COSMO CONSULT,
thus automatically on board.

HE System Electronic did additional research and comparisons.
It stayed with GLI.

In the middle of 2018, the arming took place.
A structure tree was created. Over 900 spare parts were entered.
The structure took a little longer time as a result.

Starting in 2019, MAIN-TOOL was used. Employees who do not work with MAIN-TOOL all the time sometimes find the UI too opaque. However, this may also be due to Navision.

What has changed positively in your company as a result of MAIN-TOOL?

In MAIN-TOOL, it is possible to call up what was last maintained on the plant.

We have a system here where all essential things can be queried relatively easily.

Everything can be seen in the job history:

What the plant costs in a year
Which maintenance is due in the next few months
Where what has to be ordered
Everything at a glance

MAIN-TOOL clearly displays all key features to be able to work.

The work has become easier and more efficient with MAIN-TOOL.
For the future there is the consideration to introduce the MAIN-TOOL App.
Working with the app’s icons on the tablet would make maintenance even easier.

AT GSB THE NEW ENERGY BUNDLE IN MAINTENANCE – MAIN-TOOL

Written by Eyke Szopieray on 24. June 2022. Posted in News.

Interview with GSB – Sonderabfall-Entsorgung Bayern GmbH as Europe’s largest hazardous waste disposal company.

GSB stands for responsible waste management throughout Bavaria with more than half a century of experience.
GSB has been working with Tegos Rosenheim since 2001 and uses their Envis software for waste disposal and recycling management. A powerful ERP system with mature industry functionality.

In 2019, GSB opted for the modern CMMS solution MAIN-TOOL.

What was the situation at GSB before the introduction of MAIN-TOOL?

Sebastian Schmitt, Technical Services: “The situation was as follows: We had a system for generating maintenance orders. These were generated in paper form, which took four hours every week, sorting, filing and making them available to the departments. As this was no longer up to date, GSB decided to look for a modern solution that could be attached to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV enterprise resource planning system. After market research and a summary, the decision was made to go the way of Tegos Rosenheim with MAIN-TOOL from GLI Business Solutions.

How would you rate your work with MAIN-TOOL?
What has changed positively in the company since then?

Sebastian Schmitt: “We worked very intensively with MAIN-TOOL and recorded the master data. After setting it up, we were able to migrate the first departments.
To sum up, it is a pleasant interface for the user on which he can immediately see the current activities. He has an overview of what is pending this week and what needs to be done next week. For the supervisors, MAIN-TOOL offers the advantage that they can fulfil their duty and follow-up easily and at any time.”

Katja Zeller, engineer: “It is very important to say here that we have a very complex system that is described quite elaborately with system codes and location codes. These were previously maintained in Excel and were available as a database. Now with MAIN-TOOL it is a great advantage that this data is linked to the activities. The maintenance and recurring inspections are directly linked to the respective object. We have much more transparency here. We have audit-proof, clear, easy-to-find documentation. MAIN-TOOL makes it possible to search in a completely different way or to have data displayed as needed. That is a big advantage.”

Tibor Hlozanek, Network Administrator / KBD: “From an IT point of view, it was a software consolidation, because the product we used before for maintenance was no longer state of the art and had to be replaced. MAIN-TOOL enabled us to map all maintenance processes without high training costs.
This is due to the fact that two industry modules (solutions) are housed under the umbrella of Microsoft Business Solution Navision and have the same operating patterns.

MAIN-TOOL is used on the move with the movatix app from Tegos. This offers the user a clearly structured interface for easy operation.”
