We would like to congratulate Julien Le Dantec for becoming the first Nexell’s Salesforce Cloud Futura Solution Engineer. What is cloud Futura?

Author: Steeve Seidel, Salesforce Consultant at Nexell GmbH Veni, Vidi, Vici These wise words were said by an emperor (Caesar) to explain how he won/conquered. What do they mean and why are they relevant? We do not want to conquer a project, but we do want to do our best on the project.

They are one of the first companies and especially the first FormTitan client using the new Swiss QR-Bill which went live at the end of June. All based on salesforce.com and FormTitan of course. First invoicing round was done July 1st, 2020. What is the App “Incidents” for? Why is it connected to QR-Billing?  As ZVB is a public transportation company, they send out their personnel to check if passengers are using public transportation means in the canton of Zug legally - which basically means, did they buy a ticket and the right ticket? As you know, there are people who get caught when they did not purchase...
