Testimonials

IN-EKO TEAM s.r.o.

Cooperation with INTEMAC within the DIGIMAT consulting programme was a new experience for our company. Already during the initial analysis, we were convinced of the wisdom of taking this step and the effective use of their services. After the initial analysis, we chose Mr. Miroslav Křeček as an expert. As part of the consultancy programme, we set ourselves the task of designing a concept for…

David Herman, Project Manager of IN-EKO TEAM s.r.o.

Bršlík, s.r.o.

We would never have been able to prepare the tender documents to such a high standard on our own. After meetings with information system suppliers, it was clear to me what an advantage it is to have a professional on your side. On our own, we would have had a hard time conveying and adequately justifying our requirements to the contractors. A great added value was the overlap of the DIGIMAT…

Pavel Bršlík, Managing Director of Bršlík, s.r.o.

AS LASER WELDING s.r.o.

We joined the DIGIMAT consulting programme because we needed to select a new information system that would fit our needs. However, I couldn’t quite imagine what to expect from consulting with an external specialist. The cooperation started with setting up the right company processes that would lead to a smooth implementation of the new ERP system. Together with the specialist, we selected the two…

Marek Musil, Director, AS LASER WELDING s.r.o.

S&K TOOLS spol. s r.o.

We joined the DIGIMAT programme with a clear objective: we simply wanted to consult with an expert on the possibilities of digitizing production planning. However, even at the initial meeting with the specialist we found out that we needed to take a more comprehensive approach and pay attention to the areas of production control and monitoring, because all this is very closely related to…

Petr Sedláček, Managing Director, S&K TOOLS spol. s r.o.

Kovo - Roalbeta s. r. o.

To begin with, I must say that the DIGIMAT programme has far exceeded our expectations. Instead of simply a strict theoretical education about digitalization, we received knowledgeable support that helped us with the selection of a suitable MES system and subsequently with its proper implementation and setting up the related processes. Thanks to the application of the MES system, we are now able…

Beáta Nevědělová, Managing Director, Kovo - Roalbeta s. r. o.

Rytech Kovo s.r.o.

Due to the nature of our metal production, which is focused on small and medium-sized batches, it is very difficult to automate production efficiently. Our goal is to reallocate employees, who are generally in short supply, from unnecessarily repetitive activities to production debugging and creative work. We would like to achieve 30% automation of our production capacity. Within the framework of…

Jiří Rybák, Managing Director, Rytech Kovo s.r.o.

STROJÍRNA OSLAVANY, spol. s.r.o.

I am very glad that I decided to take advantage of the DIGIMAT consulting programme. Without a specialist, we would still be on the verge of ideas and thoughts that we would not be sure whether we implement. My colleagues needed support in defining the requirements for a functional digitalization of company processes to increase the efficiency of intralogistics. They found this support in these…

Alena Lubasová, Managing Director of STROJÍRNA OSLAVANY, spol. s.r.o.

Karel Kaňák, s.r.o.

The consultations in the DIGIMAT programme were very effective time spent for us, as we were enriched with new information. We made progress related to the possibilities of optimizing external logistics, an area of which we did not have a complete overview before. The approach of the programme specialist was very professional and inspiring. Since the consultation, we know exactly what we need to…

Vladislav Polášek, authorized representative of Karel Kaňák, s.r.o.

ZLOMEK, s.r.o.

We have moved significantly forward to the point where we have the production plan firmly in our hands and can manage production much more efficiently. We expect an increase in order flow of up to one quarter of the current status. The DIGIMAT consulting programme specialist really knew his stuff. He introduced us to the topic of production planning and control so that we were able to define our…

Martin Zlomek, Director of ZLOMEK, s.r.o.

LAC, S.R.O.

Thanks to the outside perspective of a DIGIMAT specialist, we revived ideas we had previously considered. We have now confirmed that the path of better planning with regard to production capacity and moving towards paperless production is the right one. We know how to do it and what technologies are available. Thanks to them, we will be able to identify the root causes of problems and…

Zdeněk Vysloužil, Managing Director of LAC, s.r.o.

LIFETECH s.r.o.

We consider our cooperation with the independent experts of the DIGIMAT consulting programme to be a great asset. As we are currently entering a new manufacturing sector, expert technology consultations were exactly what we needed. It was great to hear the perspective of people unburdened by the day-to-day running of the company. Together, we designed the optimization and digitalization of the…

Jiří Dřímal, owner of LIFETECH s.r.o.

NenoVision s.r.o.

If we had gone into the selection of a company information system from the start ourselves, we would probably have hit a dead end. Cooperation with the DIGIMAT programme experts saved us a lot of time and, as a result, a lot of money. Thanks to the mentoring sessions, we also made time for internal meetings where we discussed how we work and clarified what we want to change. We now know we’ve…
