Reason for installing the Zapsi System:
The main reason was the introduction of accurate monitoring of production data. The existing "paper" form of production order records was filled in by operators who could manually edit the data, thus distorting the standards against which these operators are evaluated. The second reason was the possibility of streamlining production based on real time accuratre data.

How was the contract implemented:
After a previous bad experience with the selection of a different system vendor LIKOV turned to zapsi for help Due to the necessity to connect the Zapsi System with the ERP, we had to coordinate the activities between three companies. Due to special requirements, we had to solve some processes operatively, but thanks to the synergy of Zapsi s.r.o. and NAVISYS s.r.o. we were able to bring everything to a successful conclusion.
From a technological perspective, the creation of two-way communication between Zapsi and Business Central was a must. In the first phase, the publication of data from Business Central in the agreed structure was created, followed by a web service that receives data from ZAPSI. The most capacity was needed to deal with specific situations that may arise in unexpected situations.
