About

I love challenges and being challenged. I love to get involved in something and to go the extra mile to make it just that little bit better. I am quick to master automation programs, make connections, analyze and optimize. I like to work in teams because I believe that together you can achieve the best results. I am always open to ideas from others but also have them myself.

This resulted in a great time saving at least 5 min. per invoice. By standardizing, the manual attachments were unnecessary and invoices at Plato could be read and invoiced automatically. Results: Combination customer specific web portal with management information system ensures a much smaller margin of error, a faster delivery time and higher customer satisfaction. Setting up the invoicing system has led to a better overview for the customer and faster payment of invoices.
