Always there when
there's a fire.
Martin Brunkalla and his team: No deployment is too hot.
He is immediately at his post whenever there's a fire. He care-
fully analyzes the emergency, is focused in the decision he
takes, instigates the relevant actions and then diligently con-
trols whether the desired success has been achieved. Not only
as a member of the volunteer fire service, but also as a manager
of a team of software specialists, Martin Brunkalla has already
been called out to a few rescue missions. No deployment is too
hot for him, no challenge too complex: “I am not easily de-
terred. I break big tasks into smaller units. This enables me to
retain the overview and I can prepare bit by bit.”
This is a skill that benefits him every day, because at E+P no
day is like any other – as a “normal” day has no place in the LFS
world. Every customer needs a customized solution for their
specific requirements. And this is exactly what Martin Brunk-
alla and his team of programmers have adopted as their motto.
“We are only happy when the customer is happy,” he stresses.
The 43-year old is totally convinced of the qualities of the LFS
Software Suite and has been involved in its further develop-
ment for many years: “Our solution is flexible, adaptable and
can be deployed in many different sectors.” Brunkalla knows
what he is talking about, as he was involved in the program-
ming of the serial number and returnable product handling
system. That is not the only reason LFS is particularly close
to his heart. “Even though of course the product does not be-
long to me, I still feel very closely connected to it,” says Martin
Brunkalla. In addition to the continuous further development
of LFS, one other thing is very important to him, namely the
support and guidance of his colleagues. Honesty, transparency
and openness are the hallmarks of his management style. “I
want my team members to enjoy coming to work because only
motivated employees can also develop creative solutions.”
Martin Brunkalla’s fire service colleagues are also his equals,
each being specialists in their own areas, and always keeping
cool heads in precarious situations. As Head of Legal Peter
Schäfer supports Mr Brunkalla on legal issues. As Project
Manager, StefanMeyer has an overview of the many concurrent
requirements of his customers. And Jonas Keßler, Junior
Logistics Consultant, makes use of his know-how in many
areas including customer consultancy. Whenever there is a fire,
someone is always at their post.
