Frontend Development - The words of a ZYRie
You know that feeling when navigating a website is smooth and effortless, or when filling out a form works flawlessly? Yeah, that’s what I live for! I am Akram Kadoura, a frontend developer at ZYRES, and here's a peek into why I enjoy my role: In my daily workflow, I turn API data into stunning UIs, taking raw data and transforming it into eye-catching, user-friendly and responsive interfaces. This process is like brewing a perfect cup of coffee – it requires precision and skill. Form and state management is a significant part of my work, as forms aren't merely boxes to fill; they're critical touchpoints for user interaction and lead generation. I strive to make them user-friendly and frustration-free, turning what could be a dreaded chore into a pleasant experience. Another essential task is....
On the right track -
EUROBIKE Show 2024 shows the next big steps in the bicycle industry! On Thursday we had the pleasure of visiting the Eurobike Show 2024 in Frankfurt. The show was an impressive showcase for the future of e-mobility and the digitalisation of the bike industry. The variety of manufacturers and product groups was really impressive. We found it particularly remarkable how important digital portals have become and how, for example, our composable commerce applications with Shopware are becoming increasingly important. A real highlight was the innovative range control from Bosch and the digital bike management from VELO DE VILLE. These technologies show how the bicycle industry is moving towards greater efficiency and user-friendliness. The bike industry is in the midst of digitalisation - we are excited to see what the future holds and look forward to being a part of this exciting development!

Old buildings and cutting-edge technologies?
We had great impressions at the "Soirée of Ideas", the AI event at Schloss Jägersburg! Three captivating keynotes by Steffen Adler, Marco Falger and Mario Dorsch enriched our knowledge of AI. A big thank you to the entire team from [nure] media, Mario Dorsch and host Stephan Bentzel, Graf von Sturmfeder-Horneck for the perfect organisation and bringing together entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries - from IT experts to road rail welders. This alone emphasises the enormous application potential of AI. Our most important insight: AI can optimise itself, even for the simplest tasks such as writing emails. This means: the next time you want to write an email, simply add the prompt you find in the comments. Try it out! AI is more than just a trend - it's a revolutionary tool that will shape our future. Stay tuned, we still have a lot planned!
Our team at the J.P. Morgan Run Frankfurt !
Our 10 runners completed the 5.6 km course together with 63,000 other participants, achieving 1220th place out of 4103 in the global ranking. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to those who cheered us on. You made this day so special (despite the rain). What makes us particularly happy is that we are supporting two super important social projects with our entry fees:
  • The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation Germany, Austria, which uses the power of sport to help young people in Germany and Austria in the areas of education, inclusion and health
  • The Deutsche Behindertensportjugend (DBSJ), which supports young people with disabilities by organising sporting or educational activities for them.
The run was not only a sporting activity for us, but also a great team-building event. Together we are strong and have fun - whether in the office or on the running track!
The tyre industry turns left!
A review of our visit to THE TIRE COLOGNE 2024. The first day of the trade fair was really great and offered us many inspiring discussions and exciting insights into the future of the tyre industry. A special highlight was the visit of our customers, including Falken Tyre Europe GmbH represented by Bettina Feldmann. Our meeting with Chedhly Guermezi from Detection X GmbH, who have developed an innovative app that makes it very easy to recognise tyres, was exciting from a technical point of view: Mobile phone out, upload and the app immediately recognises the taxonomies of the tyre.

How to digitise the tyre trade !?
Together with Falken Tyre Europe GmbH we came to the following answer: A B2B platform that manages tyre sales throughout Europe, in 37 countries. Thanks to the individual B2B customer conditions, the real-time SAP integration and the "Agent-Order" function, Falken customers have a customer experience at the highest level. Intelligent warehouse and delivery management: The platform optimises the use of our Europe-wide warehouses based on the customer's location. Delivery availability and distance are analysed to minimise delivery times. This significantly improves operational processes, minimises emissions and improves warehouse management. 🚚 Fully integrated returns management 🔄: The returns portal closes the communication cycle between the reviewer, customer and logistics provider, making the recording and processing of returns and complaints as easy as possible.

We can't wait to finally move into our "New-Work Office" and invite you all! To make the wait a little easier, we've prepared a little teaser for you! Take a look on LinkedIn!
Passwords are a pain in the...
We've all been there: seemingly endless login processes for every single customer account, whether in the app or on the web. This leads to the use of short and easy-to-remember passwords, as one is required for each account. Often even one and the same password for several accounts - GDPR & security gaps send their regards - but today it's easier, safer and faster! With Single Sign On or SSO for short. Enough of the login chaos? Then it's time for SSO! Implementation is easier than you think - and the benefits are priceless. We'd be happy to advise you and your company on how to do this! Read our article on LinkedIn to find out why you can benefit from it too.

R+T Stuttgart 2024
This week, Sebastian Schirmer and Felix von Strachwitz were at the R+T, the World's Leading conferences for Roller Shutters, Doors and Sun Protection (R+T Alliance) and immersed themselves in a sea of innovations. Our personal highlight: BOTEVO, a software and hardware solution for the centralised monitoring of various roller shutter types and brands. BOTEVO also received the R + T Innovation Award 2024 for this. In line with our industry insights from the home textiles conference, similar topics were once again at the "digital centre" of our numerous discussions:
  • 3D product configuration with AR functions
  • Supporting functions for specialist retailers
  • Digitalisation as a growth driver
The conference was not only a showcase for new technologies, but also a chance to see familiar faces like Michael Käding from Anova. We are looking forward to the future partnerships and projects that will result from this outstanding conference. See you at R+T 2027 in Stuttgart!
