This is another LogAp case of success. Understand the initial problems, the solution that was created and the benefits achieved since the innovation implementation in 2021.
The Problem: What to do with unused materials?

In addition to the destination for the waste, managing the requests, space, fees, and transportation, it can take a lot of time and money to accomplish.
Therefore, having a software solution grew as a necessity. After partnering with LogAp, CHESF was able to find a solution to make the waste management faster.
The Solution: ALIEN system for disposal of materials
