Success Story: Adlerhaus GmbH, Nordhalben
Flexible Data Access – A Persuasive Factor for Prefabricated ConstructionAdlerhaus builds dreams...
Adlerhaus GmbH of Nordhalben/Upper Franconia develops prefabricated houses with low energy consumption using complete timber panel construction. Started as a one-man operation in 1949, today this medium-sized enterprise employs 31 staff members and erects prefabricated buildings all across Germany - each with consideration to the individual requirements of their owners.Adlerhaus combats rising energy costs in housing with its modern, solidly-crafted, low-energy house. A computer-controlled scantling processor fully automates the production of the entire timber construction and manufactures the most complicated construction units within minutes. Specialists with decades of experience in timber construction take care of the precise assembly of the elements and the reliable development on-site. Every Adlerhaus is planned, tailored, and implemented according to the wishes of each customer. From the beginning of 2006, Adlerhaus and their long standing partner, KLIMAPLUS Holzhausbau, have joined forces in one combined enterprise.
The quality work of Adlerhaus has already been honoured with several awards. One of these is Adlerhaus’ recognition since 2005, as one of only a few Bavarian enterprises, with the Meisterhaft certificate rating as a 5-Star business - the highest valuation. In 2004, Adlerhaus received the RAL quality mark RAL GZ-422 both for manufacturing as well as assembly. Thus not only the production, but also Adlerhaus’ assembly and development are certified of the highest quality.The Decision for DOCUframe®
Even the internal Data Management at Adlerhaus needs to function perfectly. Before the use of DOCUframe®, the enterprise worked with a classical filing system – which was, according to staff statements, a “wonderful data mess.” Since work is ongoing at many building sites at the same time, safe remote access to all important enterprise and building site data is indispensable - a condition which could not be fulfilled by the previous software. DOCUframe® offered the ideal solution.
The Main Argument: A Recommendation
Georg Beetz joined Adlerhaus in 2002 and knew DOCUframe® from his former company as a software solution for document management, archiving, communications and workflow. Due to his extremely positive experiences, he recommended GSD software to his new employer. And indeed, DOCUframe® convinced.
Flexible Data Access and Automated Complaint Management
Marco Adler, managing director of Adlerhaus, speaks about his experiences with DOCUframe®: “From the beginning, our expectations were perfectly confirmed. The software is now in use in eight locations in different parts of the country. Thanks to DOCUframe®, now all the staff at our two business locations and the numerous building sites always have access to all the information they need for their work. The amount of documents and data has increased significantly since 2002 and has posed no problem. The handling of complaints, which arise mostly through subcontractor problems and can become quite complex, is now completely automated through DOCUframe®. And we can make statements at any time about the real status of the respective project. Without DOCUframe® the advancement of the company to its present form would not have been possible because only now can we reasonably organise the work of the two business locations and the building sites. Even when I am on the road, I have unrestricted access via the mobile database!”
After One Year - Already Amortised
At Adlerhaus, the decision for DOCUframe® would be made again and again, confirmed the managing director. “We are very content with the use of DOCUframe® in our company. If there are questions, the GSD Hotline reacts competently, expertly and helpfully. Requests are worked on and solved within appropriate periods.” Rapid Return of Investment has already been achieved as Adler reports, “the investment had already paid for itself after just one year.”
What’s Next?
After the fusion with KLIMAPLUS Holzhausbau, the next step for Adlerhaus will be to develop a uniform database for the whole enterprise. The introduction of rich-menus, workflows and a uniform procedure organisation should simplify the work for Adlerhaus staff. Also, with changes in the appointment calendar management, the organisation can be further optimised. DOCUframe® offers the potential to improve the productivity and effectiveness of enterprises – you just have to take advantage of it! GSD Software mbH supports the development of these processes and accompanies the customer during the complete implementation of the projects.
“A company functions like a human organism. If an organ fails - in our case, for example, the loss of a co-worker - an adapted process management is needed to help to keep the business going. With DOCUframe®, we are well able to deal with that,” explains a convinced Marco Adler.
The positive experiences of customers like Adlerhaus are the driving force for GSD Software to continue to successfully support enterprises into the future with ideal software solutions.
