Selective and continuous switching between particular documents while keeping the monitored item contributes to the comfort of the control. The coverage of item function displays a profile across states and documents in which it is to be found. As a matter of fact, variability with regard to the definition of cards of contractors/customers, articles, prices, alternate units of measure, stocks etc. is ensured.

  PRODUCTION

By planning of the existing procedure, it provides the operators with a picture about possible deadlines and material coverage. The application leaves to the user the logic concerning sequence of the job orders, division thereof into batches and capacity assignment.

The client can make use of training or documentation which is an equivalent to the training. Thus, the client decides fully on financial intensity in relation to the installation.


Extensibility

By ordering expert services, it is possible to adapt the extent of the used application according to the individual requirements. Should the firm feel that it is necessary to assume the specific service functions being off at the present time and to develop further the information system by the own effort, it can switch any time to a higher licence in the form of the K2 Professional or K2 Enterprise products. The reason for such a changeover can be understanding and acquisition of the internal programme principles as well as ambition to use the system not only as a tool for data recording, but also as a manner how to obtain a competitive advantage.


Technology

By selection of the Oracle or Microsoft platform, its usage free of charge is limited by the particular producer to the data size and number of processors.
