TRANSCRIPT
We have 30 years of experience in the developmentand integration of information systems for logisticsand NATO codification for armed forces and defenceindustry in tens of countries on 5 continents.
LISSafe way to yournew informationsystem
The Logistic Information System (LIS)is a modular, secure and comprehensive informationsystem developed solely for needs of militarylogistics. Its primary goal is to maximize the readinessof armed forces and support the proper functioningof logistics. To achieve that, it provides real-time highquality information, which helps to maintain controlover assets and logistics processes.
Interoperability and Cooperation with AlliesNowadays interoperability in multinational operationsand effective coordination of common approach is thekey foundation of success. By following internationaland NATO standards, using the NATO CodificationSystem and providing support to Host Nations,LIS includes a wide range of options on how to tacklechallenges of multinational collaboration.
Rapid deployment anywhere around the GlobeOne of the main parameters for military logistics is itsoperational reach. With the use of automation,standardized forms and real-time tracking, LIS allowsorganisations to plan, manage and executedeployments anywhere in the world using eitherinternal resources or services of civil contractors.
Fast adaptation to ChangeTo adapt means to explore new options andpossibilities. With LIS operation planning tools,it is easy to adjust plans and decisions according thecurrent situation. Also monitoring of assets throughtheir life cycle provides examination of the spendingstructures and possible insufficiencies. These valuableinsights provide fast feedback and help to delivercontinuous improvement.
Readiness of the Troops and EquipmentCapable forces and equipment are the cornerstone ofany operation, whether it be combat, peace-keeping orrescue. LIS keeps relevant data about combat fitness,maintenance of materiel items and training of troops.Detailed information is summarized into compre-hensive reports, which clearly show the armed forcespreparation and, if needed, where to focus attention.
Sustainability of the Supply ChainThe ability to sustain task forces for a prolonged periodof time on expeditionary missions has a significantimpact on strategy and puts high demands on a well-functioning supply chain. LIS automatically controlslevels of critical provisions or spare parts and evaluatesthe ideal span of supply cycles to ensure that goodswill be in the right place, at the right time, in the rightquantity, at the right cost.

LIS will increase yourStrategic Advantage
MODULARITYLIS consists of interconnected moduleswhich could be implemented as a complexsystem covering all main areas of militarylogistics or separately to perfectly fitcustomer needs.
USER FRIENDLINESSLIS follows modern trends in the UX designand it creates simple and intuitive workingenvironments with a smooth workflow.
EFFECTIVENESSTo prevent redundancies in data, LISprinciple is “Data created once, used manytimes” . That enables users to get onlywhat they really need in a fast andeffective manner.
VISUALIZATIONA pictures is worth a thousand words.LIS helps visualize data into graphs andinfographics to present a clear pictureabout the current situation.
SECURITYCyber-threats pose the main risk ininformation systems. We obey all rules ofsafe development and we put a lot of effortinto ensuring system security. LIS is certifiedby the Czech National Security Authorityand is operated in multiple securitydomains (from Unclassified to Secret).
INNOVATIONLIS uses cutting-edge, trusted and robusttechnologies to become a moderninformation system for military logistics.
VERSATILITYLIS supports all service branches ofthe armed forces and its tools supportpersonnel on the tactical, operational andstrategic levels. It is ready to cooperatewith other information systems (financial,personel, battle control etc.).

Key principles of the logisticinformation support
Assets, personnel, facility, services and organizationhierarchy controlLIS provides total and immediate control of all assets,personnel and facilities. It codifies them in a unifiedfashion according to the NATO Codification System.Detailed records are kept for each particular item interms of identification, quantity, location, quality,usability, price and specific features (e.g. expirationdate, lifespan etc.). They create transparent networkof ownership, organizational hierarchy and thefoundation for advanced reporting.
Operations, maintenance andmateriel life cycleLIS includes capabilities for planning, execution andcontrol of the technical maintenance of combatequipment, aviation equipment, weapons, weaponsystems and other devices. LIS provides the technicalmaintenance and operation plans of various types anddetails: Equipment Operational Plan, Operational
Maintenance Plan, Work Maintenance Plan, WorkOrders etc. LIS enables a continuous monitoring ofthe assigned operating measure units consumption(kilometres, engine hours, shots etc.) and consecutiveplanning of preventive maintenance includingthe appropriate capabilities, spare parts and otherresources. Data obtained is used for the item life cyclecost evaluation, acquisition and disposals planningsor identification of necessary spare parts.
Interoperability, standards, distributed systemLIS is interoperable with many information systems,both national and international. Interfaces are incompliance with industry and military standards (ISO,STANAG, WSDL, SOAP, WS-Security etc.). LIS works asa distributed system, where the network is created byinterconnected means and can be run in online, semi-online or completely isolated modes (e.g. on warships)ensuring that units will not be left without logistics data.

Warehousing, transportation and deployment,supplies managementLIS supports transportation and deployment includingthe transportation operated by civilian contractcarriers. Each shipment (either domestic orinternational) can be tracked by the consignmenttracking functionalities based on STANAG 2494 AST(Edition 2). Detailed information about each shipmentis visible in accordance with the NATO Total AssetVisibility concept. The warehouse module containstools for warehouse design and management of alloperations from receipt of items to their disposal.Stock inventories can be transferred into portable ormobile devices. To manage load distribution,it is possible to define hierarchy of packaging andlabeling (barcodes, RFID, QR codes etc.). Supplies canbe distributed through either push and pull supplystrategies to create optimal distribution of availabilityof stock according to plans or immediate needs of units.
Logistic support for operations, operationsplanning, crisis managementLIS provides logistic support for task forces deployedin operations. With a satellite communication,deployed units can be located anywhere in the world.The operations can be of any type (combat, rescue,peace-keeping etc.) and a Task Forces can be of anysize and structure including even non-militarycomponents. In connection with the CrisisManagement Support, LIS reinforces the stateadministration bodies in crisis scenarios (e.g. Help innatural disasters). LIS also enables utilisation of allavailable materiel resources including the alliedlogistics, civilian suppliers and Host Nation Support.Operations can be planned and task forces assembledwith the LIS specialized tool together with setting upthe amount, type or optimal delivery cycle ofprovisions, spare parts and other required items.
