Initially, the client had 3 separate systems, for accounting, sales management, and warehousing, respectively. In addition, the company had not used any electronic tools for managing manufacturing, documentation workflow and orders.

Key Challenges

Lack of access to the right information due to dispersion and different data formats in use

The accounting firm's role was limited solely to ensuring tax compliance

Numerous inefficiencies within workflow – repeated data entries, clearance, settlement monitoring, etc.

Inability to accurately define the actual costs of manufacturing at each stage

Difficult monitoring of profitability across company departments and types of operations

Backlogs in purchase invoice approval and transfer to the accounting department

Lack of control over orders made with suppliers

Poor effectiveness and high cost of debt collection

Time-consuming, manual preparation of daily reports for the Board, department managers and traders

Implemented solutions

Having identified key challenges for the customer and having analysed current processes, we recommended that two integrated systems be implemented: one for corporate management and one for electronic documentation workflow. We opted for HansaWorld’s ERP system and Readsoft’s Invoices, as these best met the client’s needs.
