Here is the summary of the call for the CRM:

Summary: first call with Muster Logistik GmbH (6 Oct 2026)

Participants: Thomas Brandt (Kranich, sales) · Katrin Albers (Muster Logistik, head of facility management) · Daniel Roth (Muster Logistik, engineering, Bremen site)

Need

• 12 sites in northern Germany, approx. 140 sectional doors at the loading bays, drives partly 20 years old, spare parts hardly available any more.
• 11 breakdowns this year in Bremen alone; a breakdown means a blocked bay, trucks waiting, the shift plan in disarray.
• Refit planned step by step: start in Q1 with Bremen and Hamburg (38 doors together), the rest spread over 2027.
• Recommended product: KA-400 (up to 150 cycles/day), connected to the loading-bay control/yard management via potential-free contacts or Modbus.
• Additional service: maintenance contract with 4h response time, 365 days.

Who decides

• Katrin Albers prepares the decision.
• The final decision is made by managing director Mr Lindner together with purchasing.
• Lindner must sign off on anything above €250,000.
• The investment committee meets on 28 Oct 2026.

Concerns

• The refit must not bring operations to a halt – installation has to happen at night/at weekends (Kranich’s commitment: approx. 3h per door, feasible on night shifts).
• Maintenance response time must reliably be under 4h (committed).
• A competing offer exists: cheaper, but installation only possible from April. Kranich can start in February.

Next steps

• 14 Oct 2026, 9:00, Bremen: on-site inspection of the doors with a Kranich technician (morning, confirmed by Daniel Roth).
• Quote for Bremen + Hamburg (incl. installation & maintenance) plus a rough projection for all 12 sites, promised by 16 Oct 2026.
• Goal: documents in good time before the investment committee on 28 Oct 2026.

Shall I save this as a document in your workspace?

Saved. The two most important points for the visit:

1. Large doors 2-05/2-06 in hall 2 are too wide for the proposed KA-400 at 5.5 m (max. 5.0 m) – be sure to measure them on site, otherwise the quote will be miscalculated.
2. Spare parts for the old S-50 drives have been discontinued, stock = 0 – this mainly affects hall 3, which also had the most faults in 2026. That is an argument for urgency and at the same time a risk until the refit.

Hall 3 is also currently not connected to the loading-bay control, which the customer explicitly wants – this needs to be clarified on site, including whether it becomes part of the quote.

The cover image is ready: a modern industrial door on a logistics hall, evening light, calm blue tones with a warm accent light, 16:9 landscape, no text. The image is in the artefacts panel to view and download.

If needed, I can create variants or make adjustments (e.g. a different light colour, building type or crop).

The presentation is saved in your personal workspace.

“Sales debrief: Messe Tor & Logistik 2026” — 8 slides, built from your stand notes.

One note: for the delivery time question and the “end of week 41” deadline, I used the practical working day (Friday) as the date — I can change that if needed.

Up to 3 days of working from home per week, by agreement within the team; Monday is an in-office day for everyone.

The employment reference for Jana Peters has been saved in the folder “Kranich Antriebstechnik”.

Problem: The password of the user KRANICH\j.meier expired on 7 Oct 2026. That is why the VPN sign-in fails (error code 0x80070532). The tool requires a password change before it can connect – at the same time, the dialog says the password can only be changed on the company network. A classic deadlock: no password change without VPN, no VPN without a password change.

What Jonas should do now:

1. Sign in on the company network in the office and change the password there as usual, if that is possible.
2. If he can’t come to the office: contact IT support and have the password reset remotely (usual for expired passwords without VPN access).
3. Then sign in to/unlock the computer with the new password, and only then try the VPN connection again.

Shall I write this up as short instructions for Jonas that you can forward to him?

Basis: IT checklist: new employees (uploaded). The first working day is Monday, 2 Nov 2026 (1 Nov is a Sunday), the deadlines are calculated from that.

Tasks relevant for the sales position (owner: IT service):

Not an IT task, but relevant: the access card is requested via reception, also 5 working days before, so by Mon, 26 Oct 2026.

Not applicable: CAD licence (engineering only).

Shall I check whether mobile working is planned for the position, or save the list as a task/reminder document in your workspace?

Findings

The log shows a clear chain of cause and effect:

Trigger: On 30 Sep 2026, 10:38 pm the printer driver "PX Universal PCL6" was updated from version 4.1.8.0 to 4.2.1.0 (affects HALLE2-LS01 and HALLE1-ETIKETT).

Consequence – every night since:

1. 02:00: the ERP service (svc-erp) queues the nightly batch print "Lieferscheine_Sammeldruck" on HALLE2-LS01 (350–450 pages).
2. After about 14–17 minutes of printing, spoolsv.exe crashes with exception code 0xc0000005 (access violation) in the module pxupcl6.dll – that is, in the new driver itself.
3. The "Print Spooler" service restarts automatically after ~60 seconds.
4. However, the running batch print job cannot be recovered and is deleted – only 120–210 of 350–450 pages get printed.

This pattern (crash → service restart → deleted job) has occurred every night with a batch print since 1 Oct 2026 – 3 Oct and 4 Oct (weekend, no batch print job) are the only exceptions, which confirms the link with the large night job on HALLE2-LS01. Before the driver update (29/30 Sep), the same jobs ran without errors.

Cause: The updated PCL6 driver (4.2.1.0) is unstable when processing the large nightly batch print job on HALLE2-LS01 and makes the spooler crash.

Recommendation

1. Immediate action: Roll the "PX Universal PCL6" driver on HALLE2-LS01 (and, as a precaution, HALLE1-ETIKETT) back to version 4.1.8.0 – the previous stable release.
2. Medium term: Check with the vendor whether there is a patch/hotfix for 4.2.1.0 that fixes the crash in pxupcl6.dll before updating again.
3. Check: Watch the next night after the rollback – it has worked if "Lieferscheine_Sammeldruck" runs through completely again (target = actual page count).
4. Side finding, unrelated: Printer BUERO-OG-03 keeps reporting low toner (black, 8%) – the toner should be replaced.

Shall I save this as a document in your workspace or create a ticket template for IT/the service provider?

Result: the invoice, purchase order and delivery note do not match

There are several discrepancies:

Financial impact

• Correct net amount (38 units × €186.50 + 40 installation kits × €12.80, without freight): EUR 7,599.00
• Invoiced net amount: EUR 8,187.00

Difference: EUR 588.00 net, EUR 699.72 gross overcharged

Recommendation

Reject invoice RE-26814 for correction or request a corrected invoice because of:

1. the quantity discrepancy (2 units missing, follow-up delivery in week 42 outstanding)
2. the price discrepancy from the agreed fixed price
3. freight costs charged without justification (free delivery agreed)
4. the missing early-payment discount

Payment should be withheld until this is clarified, or only the correct amount (EUR 9,042.81 gross) should be released.

Cost centre controlling Jan–Sep 2026 is ready and saved in the workspace.

Key finding: Overall, the company is 2.6% under budget, with €2,475,000 actual against €2,540,000 plan. The only cost centre over budget: Marketing at +12.4% (€236,000 actual vs. €210,000 plan), driven mainly by an outlier in March (€45,100 instead of the planned €20,700).

Review of travel expense claim RK-2026-0412 (Jonas Meier) against the 2026 travel expense policy

Result

The claim is not reimbursable without corrections. Two points need to be clarified before it is approved:

1. 1st class rail (€179.80 in total): Request proof that 1st class was not more expensive than 2nd class – otherwise only reimburse the 2nd class fare.
2. Hospitality (€186.40): Request a complete, signed hospitality receipt with the occasion and attendees – otherwise remove the item.

The taxi receipt (€31.80) can go through with a short reason ("customer visit with presentation material"), but this should be added.

Shall I draft a query to Mr Meier, or save the claim with these comments as a document in the workspace?

Comparison of the three quotes – packaging material Q4

All three suppliers were asked on 22 Sep 2026; the quotes are dated 29 Sep 2026. They quote identical items (carton 400×300×200, carton 600×400×300, PP packing tape 50mm/66m), but with different prices, delivery terms and extra costs.

Assessment

• Lowest net price: Beispiel Karton (€11,950), but without freight and palletising – the actual cost will be higher depending on the number of pallets and the freight route. Without these figures, a true final-price comparison is not possible.
• All-inclusive, fastest delivery: Muster Pack delivers in 10 working days, free to point of use incl. palletising, but at €13,100 it is the most expensive quote and has the shortest payment term (14 days).
• Best compromise: Muster Verpackung – €12,480 fully delivered and palletised, moderate delivery time (14 calendar days), plus a 2% discount for payment within 10 days (effectively €12,230.40). But the price is only binding for 30 days.

Conclusion: On net price alone, Beispiel Karton comes out ahead, but the missing freight/pallet costs put that into perspective. Taking delivery terms and the discount into account, Muster Verpackung is likely the most economical overall package. Muster Pack only wins if delivery time is critical.

Summary (English)

Sarah Collins from Muster Components (key account manager) is writing about order PO 4500018412 for 2,400 KS-12 control boards, so far confirmed for delivery on 20 October.

• Problem: The semiconductor supplier has reported a shortage of the MCU chip used. The full quantity therefore cannot be delivered on time.
• New date (complete delivery): 30 October (10 days late).
• Alternative – partial delivery: 1,000 units on the original date (20 October), the remaining 1,400 units on 30 October – at no extra freight cost.
• Deadline for a reply: Friday, 9 October. If there is no reply, the complete order will be delivered on 30 October.
• Apology for the inconvenience.

Decision needed: accept the partial delivery or wait for the complete delivery on 30 Oct.

Draft reply (German)

Shall I adjust the draft (e.g. choose complete delivery instead of partial delivery), or use it as it is?

In the folder Einkauf/Rahmenverträge I checked the 6 framework agreements. Today: 7 Oct 2026 → 90-day window until 5 Jan 2027.

Agreements ending in this period

Outside the 90-day window

• Workwear/rental laundry (Beispiel Workwear GmbH) – ends 31 Mar 2027
• Staff catering (Muster Catering GmbH) – ends 30 Jun 2027
• Supply of steel profiles (Muster Stahlhandel KG) – ends 31 Dec 2027

Action needed: For the courier agreement, a decision on whether to terminate or let it run should be made before 19 Nov 2026. For building cleaning, it is worth checking whether notice was already given in time, since the actual notice period has already passed.
