One weekend.
A big surprise.

02 / The starting point

02

The swimming school grew.
So did the work around it.

“At first we did everything ourselves. We started with Excel.” More systems followed. But, Walter says, they were not connected to one another. (Translated quote.)

In his conversation with Jorg and Chris, he saw opportunities to connect systems and hand over work. Not another separate system, but a look at the work between them.
