The corona virus is not just a flu. It is highly contagious and potentially fatal. Those who are infected are not only endangered themselves, but also endanger those around them.

The situation is serious. Our health system is at its absolute limit. The intensive care beds in Saxony are practically full. If you have to go to hospital for whatever reason, you may not be able to be treated as it would be necessary. Almost all capacities are tied up by Corona - other operations have to be canceled and postponed. Refrigerated containers are set up at the Chemnitz Clinic because otherwise there is no longer enough space for the deceased.

In order to prevent the spread, we have long since restricted our contacts - as a society and also here in the company. We made it possible to work from the home office and refrained from meeting our customers, partners and colleagues - not just out of fear, but above all out of care. However, permanently renouncing this togetherness is not an option. Humans are social beings. We need personal encounters. As a company, we miss the sense of community, spontaneous encounters, unplanned and unproductive conversation, the identification that comes with being in a group, and the collegial.

That is why we make our brand available for an important message. The corona pandemic can only be brought under control with a high vaccination rate. Vaccination is the key to more normalcy, to carefree coexistence at work, in leisure time and in the family. Get vaccinated - you make this decision not only for yourself, but for all of us!

Our open EIS integration platform ensures that the software products based on it can be used and freely scaled in practically any IT environment regardless of the operating system - whether installed on premise or as software as a service from the cloud. Because community4you customers receive platform and software applications from a single source, individual adjustments are possible that would otherwise be inconceivable. Customers can even create, adapt and rename columns and fields unassisted without any special IT knowledge. In this way, our fleet software is highly personalized and remains changeable even with new mobility trends.

The demand is enormous. Many companies are now seeing that there is still a lot of catching up to do when it comes to digitization.

Digitization has all too often been misunderstood in recent years: Creating documents in Office and saving them digitally isn´t a mayor step just yet. Companies should be looking for software to interpret data, to store data centrally and let various applications access it, to link documents and ultimately to automate entire processes.

What was perhaps only just a viable solution for face-to-face work in the office environment has now definitely reached its limits with more remote working. With our fleet software and mobile applications, we not only enable secure access to documents and processes while on the move or from the home office. With community4you products, companies can automate time-consuming processes in fleet management, optimize vehicle use, evaluate data effectively and identify cost drivers.

The requirements are changing from the more classic fleet software to the mobility platform with various small-scale solutions. We are beginning to see that internal resources are being supplemented by external mobility services, such as short-term rentals, car subscriptions, electric scooters, etc. In addition, the processes in fleet management will be even more data-based in the future. For example, sensors can already detect wear today. This has become a standard. But we want to make this vehicle data even more usable. Why shouldn't a system that detects a problem also be able to automatically request and schedule an inspection in the future? It doesn't even necessarily need third-party hardware. We are in discussion here in order to be able to offer the relevant interfaces and licenses.
