AURA implemented its first projects for the military in 1991 employing its knowledge and experience in logistic SW projects tailored for the commercial sector. Gradually, the company specialised in infor-mation systems for military logistics. It extended significantly its operations in this area once Cze­ choslovakia ceased to exist and the Czech Republic launched measures to join NATO.

Our company AURA has been established in 1989, even before the Velvet Revolution, as a producer co-operative. Within the limits of the then era, a group of developers decided to start an independent business, they overcame the bureaucratic obstacles and they executed a series of inland and foreign projects. Among other things, we developed software for inventory management or warehouse control systems. Also, we delivered related hardware (meaning computers, printers and barcode scanners) for our warehouse systems.
