Now it is Online

● The architecture is fully WMS compatible (Interoperability successful)

● Software development AND project work (setting up data) has been paid for by the customer

● All components are Open Source reduced cost, high potential for further development)

● The software can and already has been adopted in several other installations (diffusion process started)
