Holstra

Holstra is a reliable specialist in the installation of doors, sun protection, roller shutters and terrace canopies, with a strong focus on bespoke work and customer-focused solutions. The company does more than install products: it also gives thorough, tailored advice, built on the expertise of its own people.

With a team of 10 to 19 employees, Holstra delivers personalised solutions and places a high value on transparency and personal advice. Its locations in West Flanders make the service local and easy to reach. Holstra’s fitters are on its own payroll, which means faster, more efficient work and in-depth knowledge of the products and systems they install.

Filip Holvoet, managing director of Holstra, had spent more than two years looking for the ideal system to manage the flow of interventions. With more than 2,500 small and 1,000 large interventions a year, scheduling the engineers at Holstra had become a full-time job.

In his search for the right solution he came across many systems, but most of them focused mainly on locating vehicles and paid little attention to automating the processes. Filip wanted more than oversight alone: he was looking for a system that would automate both scheduling and invoicing.

GeoDynamics gave Holstra the solution it was looking for: IntelliTracer. With a black box and a registration panel in every vehicle, Filip Holvoet gained real-time insight into the location of his vehicles. That not only gave him a clear overview of the fleet, but also allowed him to schedule an urgent intervention quickly.

The benefits did not stop there. Using the GeoDynamics registration panel, several administrative processes were automated as well. The GeoDynamics software integrates directly with Admin2Win, so unique barcodes per project and task are scanned automatically with the GeoDynamics barcode reader.
