Initial situation
at the start of the project

At MiRO, the need to replace the internally developed loading processing program was paramount. Both the long-term maintenance and further development as well as ensuring the essential 24/7 support could no longer be handled by the company's own staff. A future-proof solution had to be found in order to cope with demographic change and actively support innovations on the market.

  • Internally developed loading processing program required a high level of personnel deployment that could no longer be guaranteed internally (maintenance, further development and support)

  • Need to adapt to demographic change in order to remain competitive

Result
and current situation

The implementation of VERA-V3 brought numerous benefits for MiRO. For example, the modernization of the loading processes led to a significantly simplified infrastructure. Visualized processes provided additional transparency and the station handling could be replaced. One of the outstanding points, however, was the noticeable reduction in the workload of the IT staff, as VERA-V3 and our team now took over many of the tasks that had previously been performed.

  • Comprehensive modernization of loading processes

  • Reduction of complexity and improvement of process visualization

  • Significant relief for IT staff

  • Reliable 24/7 on-call service

  • Fast implementation of individual requirements

"The collaboration with VTA completely fulfilled our expectations. We were impressed by how flexibly and efficiently our requirements were either covered by the existing VERA-V3 standard or achieved through targeted further developments. This positive impression was reinforced by reference visits and a fair price-performance ratio."

Jürgen Merz, IT Business Application

 

"The implementation of the sub-projects took place after extensive testing in a big bang, so to speak - without any restrictions in loading operations. The excellent 24/7 support and smooth communication with VTA contributed significantly to this success. We are already looking forward to the implementation of further projects, such as the integration of SIDEFLOW including driver identification."
