What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Brinkerhof's order connector is loading and Bas Kuijpers asked the brain its first question. Femke van Gestel wants four account managers in the following week. Complaints connector is next, held up by helpdesk access.
What happened: Laura Penhaligon showed the healthy order connector and built a first installer page for the biggest installer in Flanders. Bas asked which installers ordered less this quarter and got a list with the orders it used.
Customer view: Bas liked that he could check the answer. Femke expects account managers to like it immediately if the list is right, and wants them in next week.
Commercial: Value is tied to the account managers using it. Helpdesk categories are messy, with half the tickets in the general bucket, which could weaken the complaints view.
Watch: Helpdesk access depends on a customer service colleague, and the complaints and credit blocks are still empty.

Next steps
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Bas Kuijpers to request helpdesk access from his colleague, copying Laura Penhaligon, the same day.
- Laura Penhaligon to finish the installer page and send the link to Femke and Bas.
- Bas Kuijpers to write a short note for account managers on what is in and what is coming.
Risks
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Half the helpdesk tickets sit in the general bucket, so the complaints view may start messy.
- Helpdesk access depends on a customer service colleague who has not yet been asked.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Rolling out to four account managers with real order data could build early adoption.
- Re-tagging general-bucket tickets with the brain can improve the complaints page each week.
Transcript
Laura PenhaligonGood morning, Bas. Good morning, Femke. Can you see my screen?
Bas KuijpersYes, I see it. Good morning. Sorry, I need to close another window, one moment.
Femke van GestelMorning. Cold today. Bas, you have your coffee? Good. Then let me check last time's actions. Laura, the access request, did Mirjam get it?- Laura PenhaligonShe did, and she came back with two questions that I answered. Roles are in place, so the first connector is now loading. That is the order system.
- Femke van GestelGood. And the names of the first group, I sent those. You have them?
- Laura PenhaligonYes, thank you, they are in the plan. Today I would like to do three things. Look at what has loaded, build the first installer page together, and agree how Bas checks the connector each morning.
- Bas KuijpersOkay. That is what I hoped for.
- Laura PenhaligonSo this is the admin view. You see the order connector here, status healthy, and the records indexed number moving up. Last night's refresh was complete before the working day started, which is what you should expect every morning.
- Bas KuijpersI see it. It is quite a lot of orders. More than I thought. Is it all history?
- Laura PenhaligonIt is what the connector is allowed to read. I limited it to what we agreed, so it is the order history for your installer accounts. If you want to go further back, we can widen it, but then I would check the volume with you first.
- Femke van GestelWhat do we need? For account managers, two years is enough. Maybe less. Do not load more than needed.
- Bas KuijpersI agree. Let's keep it as it is for now.
- Laura PenhaligonFine. Now, the complaints. That connector is the next one. Bas, do you know who owns the helpdesk set-up on your side?
- Bas KuijpersI do the reporting, but the configuration is with a colleague in customer service. I will ask him for the access and put you in copy.
- Laura PenhaligonThat would help. The thing to avoid is a free-text field that people use differently. If delivery complaints are a category in your helpdesk, the brain will pick it up cleanly.
- Bas KuijpersThere is a category, but honestly half of the tickets are in the general bucket. I know that. It will be a bit messy.
- Femke van GestelThen we say it openly. Messy is fine for the start. What is the plan to improve? Laura?
- Laura PenhaligonWe load it as it is, and then we use the brain to find the general-bucket tickets that mention a delivery. You can re-tag those, and the page gets better every week. I have seen that work well.
- Femke van GestelGood. Practical.
- Laura PenhaligonLet me now build the first installer page. I will pick one of your larger installers from the list. Tell me if you want a different one.
- Femke van GestelTake the biggest one in Flanders. The account manager knows him well, so he will see immediately if it is right.
- Laura PenhaligonOkay. So here we have the installer, the open orders, the order history by month. The complaints block is empty because that connector is not live yet. The credit block too.
- Bas KuijpersCan I ask it something? In chat. Which installers ordered less this quarter than the quarter before?
- Laura PenhaligonPlease. Go ahead, type it.
- Bas KuijpersAh. It gives me a list. And it says which orders it used. That is the part I like, I can check it.
- Femke van GestelShow me the list afterwards. Several of those names I know. If this is right, the account managers will like it immediately.
- Laura PenhaligonThat is why I would use that question in the first group session. It is your data and your installers, so people recognise it.
- Femke van GestelOne concern. So far it is only Bas and me inside. I want the four account managers in next week. Do you think we are ready?
- Laura PenhaligonWith orders only, yes, I think so. It is better to give them something real now than to wait for the complaints connector. I will make clear what is not there yet, so nobody is surprised.
- Bas KuijpersI can help with that. I will write a short note for them, what is in, what is coming.
- Femke van GestelGood. Short, please, Bas. Five lines.
- Laura PenhaligonThen let me summarise. Bas asks his colleague for the helpdesk access and copies me. I finish the installer page and send you both the link. Bas writes the note for the account managers. And we meet again once the complaints connector is loaded, so Bas can see the difference.
- Femke van GestelYes. That is the plan. Thank you, Laura.
- Bas KuijpersThanks. I will send the request today.
- Laura PenhaligonGreat. Speak soon, both. Bye.
