Using specific case examples, Matthias Peper (Image: TPAO) will discuss planning strategies and present effective communication with technicians. In the second part, Heike Herrmann, Ursula Duncker, and Daniela Henning will provide tips and insights into contemporary billing systems as well as clear guidance for implementation in everyday practice.
