KNAPP AG

Description

KiSoft is the KNAPP group’s own software product line. The extensive KiSoft series has been tried and tested countless times and combines a wealth of experience with innovation. KiSoft can be used to design made-to-order software solutions for all processes and across all levels, from a single supplier. This could be WMS and WCS right through to machine control systems. Such evolutionary software solutions mean that KNAPP has entered a new dimension in logistics. KNAPP continues to develop its software portfolio calling on its years of experience, know-how and expertise. KiSoft reduces costs while simultaneously achieving maximum performance and availability.

Its clearly sub-divided, modular system architecture guarantees the highest degree of flexibility and scalability. KiSoft focusses on configuration rather than development, which minimizes customer-specific developments in the project. This not only reduces costs but also the risks involved in rushed implementation. KNAPP has combined efficient implementation with simple integration in diverse Host systems, together with defined lifecycle support and maximum investment security with the all-in-one KiSoft software solution.

KiSoft offers:

• Best-practice processes for various, highly-specialized sectors
• High level of standardization
• Scalable solutions
• Easy installation and expandability
• Complete control and transparency in the warehouse
