WMSKiSoft One V2.7

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.

KiSoft offers:

  • Best-practice processes for various, highly-specialized sectors
