| Conference of the KASSETTS project (EU Central Europe ETCP) "Trends in development of IT tools for logistics" |
| Kassetts is a project aiming to support joint organization of transport processes by SME groups. During the conference, a number of international experts will outline the functionalities of selected electronic solutions for logistics and present trends for their future development. Results of real-life tests conducted at enterprises will be presented to highlight benefits of using a tool supporting joint organization of transport by company groups. Participants will also have a chance to become familiar with the concept of the European Transport Policy. In addition, the conference will enable participants to test the solution developed in the Kassetts Project on their own.The event is dedicated both to practitioners, i.e. representatives of manufacturing, distribution and logistics companies, and organizations operating in the business environment and authorities from all European countries. The international conference focused on Kassetts is funded by the European Commission (under the Central Europe programme). |
