Kofola ČeskoSlovensko a.s. is one of the leading producers and distributors of non-alcoholic beverages in Central and Eastern Europe. For its new internal company app, Kofola chose Plusco as its technology partner.

The company’s custom-made app, KofoAppka, has been installed by over 1,800 employees within just nine months of its launch. Most users access the app during weekday mornings. The ratio of desktop to mobile use is currently 70% to 30%, but mobile engagement continues to grow. On average, each Kofola employee spends nearly 12 minutes in the app. Statistics show that the most frequently used modules are News, Contacts, and Benefits.

Kofola employs around 2,800 people in total, with approximately 2,000 based in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Its key brands include Kofola, Vinea, Rajec, Ondrášovka, Korunní, Jupí, Jupík, Semtex, and UGO. The company operates primarily in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Poland, with production plants located in Krnov, Mnichovo Hradiště, Ondrášov, Stráž nad Ohří (CZ); Rajecká Lesná (SK); Radenci (SI); and Lipik (HR).

“When introducing the app, we expected it to boost employee engagement, involvement in company topics, and improve internal communication by making information sharing between employees and departments easier.

The launch fully met our expectations. KofoAppka gave all our employees instant access to company content — 24/7, on just one click — not only from their computers and tablets, as before, but now also from their mobile phones. Employees regularly provide feedback on the app and are not shy to ask questions or suggest ideas. They appreciate being able to easily find company and benefits information, as well as having quick access to colleagues’ contacts — all within just a few taps, from the comfort of home. It’s a big plus especially for our production staff, who previously couldn’t access the intranet except through shared company computers.”

Comment from the Plusco project team:

“The collaboration was fantastic and very dynamic. The Kofola team had a clear vision, and together we fine-tuned every detail of the app. The biggest challenge was designing the app to visually reflect Kofola’s unique brand identity. Kofola is a brand with a distinctive aesthetic, consistently reflected in all its communication materials — and it was crucial for both us and the client to capture that same essence in the app.

We consider the result truly exceptional. KofoAppka is visually appealing, rich in content, and highly functional. What makes us most proud is that Kofola employees actively use it, as confirmed by the usage data. Another major success is that the app continues to evolve — we keep adding new features and improvements based on user feedback.”
