Constantly growing customer demand led to the need for automation of communication within business processes. We have solved the need by implementing EDI by the German company Anveo.

As an optimal tool for EDI communication with business partners Anveo EDI Connect for Microsoft Dynamics NAV implemented by NAVISYS, s.r.o. was selected. Unlike conventional EDI tools, this solution provides users with simple and comprehensive management of the involvement of other partners in e-communication processes without the need for additional development of communication interfaces.

Before the executing this project, research and testing of the existing EDI solutions on the market took place. Thorough analysis and time spent developing detailed tasks and design resulted in a totally flawless implementation. There were no deficiencies during the test run so the final version was released immediately. In the middle of September, the first electronically issued business document was sent. The project implementation did not take more than few weeks.

Nowadays KOVONA SYSTEM communicates with its first partners through EDI for all routine service.
