Ideas in Motion 🌲🚂 Last week, our teams from Augsburg and Stuttgart gathered at Seehaus Forelle at Eiswoog (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany) for a two-day event full of new ideas and local culture. 💡   During our quarterly meeting, we dove deep into new processes and innovative strategies for the upcoming year. 🔄 The unexpected highlight? Riding the old Stumpfwald narrow-gauge Railway and even getting hands-on with steering a  locomotive! 🛠️ 🚂 Technical quiz question: Why does those locomotives have a steering wheel if it doesn’t steer? 🤔 Take a guess in the comments!  We ended the day with a barbecue by the old locomotive shed and kicked off the next day recharged for another session. Now we are looking forward to the upcoming year and getting ready to implement our new ideas creating value-adding features. Looking for team spirit? At plus10, everyone — from the CEO to our interns — is important as we love to brainstorm together as a team.
