Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale. The institute’s task is to protect the health and welfare of animals, monitor breeding hygiene to guarantee the quality of the primary production and to protect the safety of animal-based foods and livestock foods to guarantee the health of the consumer.

The proposed solution consisted in the migration of the AMA modules to an iSeries system, already used in administration, for the storage and acquisitions areas, as well as the customization of the sales order management in order to manage the internal requests and generate the requirements.

The customer
LSG Sky Chefs, one of Lufthansa Group’s multinational companies, provides onboard catering services in 5 continents.

The goals
Management of meal services to be produced for every flight is very complicated, in that it can depend on various factors: the number of passengers onboard, meal rotation, last minute requests, etc... Software which would allow easy management of the meal production for every Lufthansa Group flight based on the different variables was needed.

The solution
"Programma Voli" is highly complex software which we developed to manage planning of the services and meal rotations onboard airplanes (detailed down to the position of each single food tray on the company trolleys). The software also manages the daily flights with the passengers onboard. The meals which must be produced are based on the data processed by this software.

The results
"Programma Voli" is versatile and powerful software which allows management in extremely complex circumstances. The software is continuously in evolution in correspondence with the changes which the airline programming systems undergo. "Programma Voli" is connected to the AMA Billing and Invoicing modules to generate and issue outgoing goods documents as well as being connected to the requirement calculation function in order to estimate the amount of raw materials which must be purchased in a given period.
