Dates 2018 and customer event invitation, update preview, tip of the month, and employee introduction
Bordesholm, January 9, 2018
Welcome to the new year!
After a brief pause and review of the past 12 months, in the first days of the still young year the gaze quickly turns towards everything new ahead. At least that's true for DIVIS. We look forward to an eventful and successful year 2018 together with you and look forward to providing you with new features for our proven software products with our next update.
In addition, we are preparing for various live events, where you can meet us personally in 2018. The first opportunity will be the LogiMAT in Stuttgart next March. During an Open House as part of the "Tag der Logistik (Day of Logistics)" event in April and at the Job Fair Kiel in October, potential candidates from the region will have the opportunity to meet our team and learn more about our work.
Another highlight in June will be the "Kieler Daag" at DIVIS, an event for our existing customers in the context of the Kieler Woche. We have planned quite a lot from interesting industry exchange and looks behind the scenes at DIVIS to an innovation workshop on a sailing ship.
If you are interested in participating, please read our information in this newsletter, because the number of participants is limited.
Also, meet our back office staff in this newsletter issue.
Happy reading and a Happy New Year!
On behalf of the DIVIS Team
Yours Hendrik Reger

EVENTS
DIVIS customer event „Kieler Daag" in the context of Kieler Woche
From June 20 to 22, 2018, we invite you to Bordesholm for an exclusive event for our customers, the "Kieler Daag" at DIVIS: On two eventful days, we welcome you to our premises and take you to Kiel's Inner Fjord on a 3 mast schooner specially rented for the event.
There we offer an innovation workshop, where above all your wishes as a customer will be the focus. We will discuss questions of optimization and the expansion of DIVIS products and solutions - a joint look into the future, so to speak.
To conclude, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with our team and industry colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere during the convivial get-together.
PLEASE REGISTER!
The available spots are limited due to limited hotel contingents and the available space on the sailing ship. Currently 60 spots are open.
Our customer event is deliberately held in the period of the Kieler Woche, because the planned activities perfectly pair with this event. Participation in the "Kieler Daag" at DIVIS is free of charge for you. Only for travel and accommodation, we ask you to pay yourself. We have already reserved hotel contingents for you. However, during the Kieler Woche these quotas are very limited. In order to not let them expire and to guarantee you a place to stay overnight, we try to collect the registrations for the DIVIS event until January 31, 2018.
If you, as a DIVIS customer, are interested in participating, we kindly ask you to send your request for registration as soon as possible to our organizer, Malin Kroll, at malin.kroll@divis.eu. Please indicate if you need a place to stay overnight. You will receive further information about our program, hotel accommodation and arrival from Malin Kroll.
More information about our events and live performances will be available shortly on our website www.divis.eu and in the following newsletters.

DIVIS BEHIND THE SCENES
Our staff from the back office
Abb.: Sven Rautenberg, Vanessa Lewandowski
Our colleagues in the DIVIS back office are the silent division in the background, taking care of all the essential organizational and commercial matters, so that customers receive contracts, documents and information in time, bills are booked and inquiries answered. Of our hard-working helpers today we introduce Sven Rautenberg, Stephanie Kröhnert and Vanessa Lewandowski.
Sven Rautenberg
One of our long-standing employees is Sven Rautenberg. As early as 2005, the commercial specialist began his career in the company as a reinforcement in the back office and sales. In 2013, DIVIS expressed its trust and confidence in the form of procuration.
Meanwhile, Sven has taken over commercial management in the areas of back office (control of internal processes), planning & project planning, and service (aftersales).
His decade long inspiration and motivation by the working atmosphere and DIVIS as a company, he summarizes as follows:
"Working at eye level and appreciation among colleagues. The result is the amazing momentum to never stand still."
As a special strength of the DIVIS, he considers the young team, in which different strengths are bundled and used purposefully and as well as the partnership-oriented relationships with customers.
Vanessa Lewandowski
The trained industrial clerk began her career at DIVIS in 2010 in operational purchasing. After her return from parental leave, she became a member of the back office and worked on tasks in sales, purchasing, deployment planning, and invoicing. Meanwhile, Stephanie is concentrating her energies fully on operational planning and is supporting her colleague Regina Thon here.
She appreciates the diversified work in an open and cooperative team with flat hierarchies.
To her, the greatest strength of DIVIS are the continuous and direct exchange with customers and the ongoing optimisation of internal company processes.
Short response times and consideration of individual customer needs, and products are the ingredients for the success of DIVIS, says Stephanie. Users love the functionality and user friendliness of the software and are more than satisfied because expectations are usually exceeded by DIVIS.
Stephanie Kröhnert
Vanessa has been part of the DIVIS team since July 2017. As a commercial assistant in the back office, the trained office clerk enforces sales and service. Most of her work involves dealing with numbers, from invoicing, over bookings to the determination of the monthly key figures for the service area. The support of the team and the close cooperation motivate Vanessa, as she says, to complete even complex tasks quickly and successfully and to rise to new challenges.
"Employees are treated super fair and on a very personal level," she notes.
Particularly important in her dealings with clients she considers the bond through trust and satisfaction, a path to success into which, based on her previous experience, DIVIS invests a great deal of energy.
"The good customer loyalty, through the sales and service, the in-house software development as well as the entire uniform external appearance I count to the biggest strengths of the company DIVIS."
