“The most important functionality for Dřevotvar is the online connection between the K2 Information System and MES Pharis. All source data, i.e. machines, materials, operations and workers are managed in K2, and with each change this information is transferred to Pharis. Subsequently, information on individual work levies is transferred back to K2, the employee and the time spent on the given task are recorded, and materials are entered according to the plan in that case. K2 then uses this data to calculate the payroll for these employees.”

“In 2002 we needed a more detailed overview of our company’s key processes and also the technological assurance of the stability of our corporate IT environment. The transition from existing DOS systems to the Windows platform was urgent. A thorough examination of the information systems market led us to choose K2 IS, which sold us on its clarity, user friendliness and extensibility.
We do TPV and medium-term production planning in K2, which are then transferred to MES Pharis. It is used for workshop production management and for collecting necessary data. The data collected from production is sent online to K2 for further processing.”
