<p class="lead"><a href="https://komponentenkontor-berlin.de/">KomponentenKontor
Berlin GmbH</a>is managing the repair of suitcase (trolley) wheels,
especially when the manufacturer no longer provides spare
parts. Demand grew quickly in the beginning and soon was too much for
one person. Furthermore, requests came from all over Germany and even
Europe (yes, we have customers from Paris, Rotterdam, Bern, Oslo, Tel
Aviv and whatever). So, I looked out for cooperation partners to make
our service available not only in Berlin, but close to our customers
as well. Best solution I found are the so called "Sheltered Workshops"
for handicapped persons. They proved to be reliable and very capable,
and they have really great craftsmen working there. Such, at the
moment we have shops in Berlin, Hamburg and Stuttgart, Frankfurt and
Hannover, München, Nürnberg and Zürich, further expansion is on the
way.</p>
<p>KomponentenKontor Berlin GmbH is teaching skills, provides spare
wheels and does marketing, mainly by our web page. We're using ball
bearing wheels only - skater and other high-quality wheels, which
normally improve wheel quality way over delivery status.</p>

{{ super() }}
<p>In 2020 came the Covid pandemia. Traveling amount dropped close to zero, such
did trolley repair demand, such did revenues. In order to survive,
cutting costs was all I could do. Getting rid of the bookkeeping
office was one <emphasis>the<emphasis> thing to do.</p>
{% endblock challenge %}
{% block solution %}
{{ super() }}
<p>I implemented a ultra-low-budget solution with Tryton, now doing
bookkeeping and stock administration with two warehouses. During the
pandemic, business was low and I had much more time than money, so I
tried to do as much as possible on our own.</p>
<p>Although I am no programmer or geek, it worked.</p>
{% endblock solution %}
{% block implementation %}
{{ super() }}
<p>The approach is a minimalistic one: All-in-one on a 2010
workstation with ubuntu. Using Python virtual environments, things are
straight forward and flexible, I alwalys have 5-10 virtual environments to test and
try various things.</p>
{% endblock implementation %}
{% block results %}
{{ super() }}
<p>For implementation, I once spent just one third of my former annual
expenses for an external bookkeeping contractor. Now</p>
<ul>
<li> I have now about the same amount of work for bookkeeping - but no
longer the cost,</li>
<li> have control over my stock - which was a nightmare before,</li>
<li> actually am in charge of financials and documents - which was
inaccessible at the bookkeeping contractor's office before,</li>
<li> stock and finances linked nicely.</li>
</ul>
