Next generation:

The next generation of the proven control system for member banks of the cooperative financial group from Foconis is here: Foconis-ZAK^{® max} optimizes internal control processes efficiently and comprehensively.

“We have developed our new ZAK® max solution based on our many years of experience. The system combines proven control methods with the latest technological innovations and offers banks a sustainable solution for efficient and secure audit processes,” says Olaf Pulwey, CEO of Foconis.

The software checks all business transactions on a case-by-case basis the very next day. By integrating the process map of the Federal Association of German Cooperative Banks (BVR) into the control process, the control quality is once again significantly increased. The innovative parameterization reduces superfluous check hits and thus ensures noticeably increased precision. In addition, in-house special regulations can be integrated effortlessly.

ZAK® max combines state-of-the-art technologies with a sophisticated processing concept:

• automated data supply for agree21
• fully automatic checking of business transactions from the previous day
• flexible error processing by originators, central departments or automated processes
• integrated workflow with processing deadlines and escalation mechanisms
• automated daily completion control for maximum transparency

Thanks to centralized operation at Atruvia, ZAK® max can be seamlessly integrated into the existing IT infrastructure. Standardized data interfaces for agree21 and professional release management minimize the IT effort and ensure smooth use. In addition, intelligent reporting provides a clear overview of all relevant key figures at all times. The intuitive user guidance guarantees fast and high user acceptance.

Convince yourself of the advantages of Foconis-ZAK^{® max}: At the Foconis for Finance 2025, the get-together of the German-speaking banking community on May 6, 2025, Volksbank Kurpfalz eG will report for the first time on its experiences from piloting the functional package.
