KOPY TRUCK is a busy service thanks to its strategic location on the D1 motorway
The company has been an authorized service for repairing DAF trucks since 2005. It is located on the 90th kilometer of the D1 motorway, which ensures a high workload. In 2019, the service area has grown to practically the largest possible area, increasing its capacity to the maximum. Last year it faced another challenge - the introduction of highly automated in-house software that would enable the company to become a DAF Gold Partner.
Automation makes DAF a gold partner
KOPY TRUCK had a clear goal. It was automation that would be rewarded with DAF Gold Partner certification. At the same time, the company's management was acutely aware that DAF's demands for automation would increase in the future. They were therefore looking for a solution that would allow them to manage even very advanced processes and adapt flexibly to new challenges.
What requirements were key in the selection process?
The company had previously implemented an old version of Incadea, which has now been superseded. This put the focus on processes that had not been covered before. For example, the company was looking for the most efficient system to implement barcode scanners for warehouse management and clocking of mechanics.
Another requirement was to find a supplier who would be a true partner and be ready to implement functionality extensions that would also satisfy the growing requirements of the DAF manufacturer over time. Seyfor was able to meet all the requirements.
KOPY TRUCK was a pilot in the Czech Republic, yet the management is very satisfied with the result
"We knew we were the pilot in the Czech Republic. Our company deployed the latest version of Business Central along with the all-new DAF IML as the first ever. During the Go-Live, I appreciated that the entire Seyfor team was extremely dedicated and guided us through the new strategy and vision of the company as well," said Ondřej Píval, the company's Technical Director, by way of introduction.
"And thanks to the new system, we have started to use, for example, barcode scanner solutions not only in the warehouse management, but also in the clocking of mechanics, thanks to which the efficiency of mechanics' work has increased rapidly," praises the director of the new functionality. He estimates that it has made employees' jobs 30 percent easier.
For the company, looking to the future and seeking strategic partnerships is really key. Seyfor has become a partner alongside DAF."The first step of the system renewal is behind us, now we have to stabilise the processes and gradually add further improvements, which will include our partner Seyfor a.s."
What are the impressions of the Seyfor implementation team?
Project manager Lukáš Mezírka recalls the biggest challenge of the project and the good relations. They welcomed us very friendly and we both look forward to further cooperation. Looking back, the biggest hurdle for us was transferring a 15 year old database to a new environment. But we managed to do that as well. We all learned a lot and pushed our own boundaries a little further again. We are very happy about the successful implementation in the team."
