How the Business Central ERP system helped the international Zolva group of companies unify business processes
However, significant geographic distribution created certain challenges for business management, in particular in the field of financial accounting and reporting, since the company used different IT solutions for each of the countries of presence. This complicated the accounting processes, the generation of management reports, procurement and other operational processes. In addition, each system had its own characteristics and requirements that did not meet corporate standards. Combining all management processes into a single, easy-to-analyze system created an additional burden on financial and related departments. Therefore, the company began looking for a solution that would unify and optimize all business processes, bringing them together into a single IT ecosystem. On the one hand, it...

MammyClub

Co-founder and CEO of MammyClub
Fast migration from the russian “Moi Sklad” to the international Business Central system and warehouse process optimization for MammyClub
The main warehouse of MammyClub is located in Klavdiievo between Borodianka and Bucha. According to Oleh Poda, co-founder and CEO of the business, the fact that the warehouse survived after the events of March 2022 is a great luck. Due to the fact that the ability to ship goods directly from suppliers’ warehouses had been implemented, the business was able to resume work on March 7, although it could initially offer consumers only 5% of the previous assortment. Traditionally, the russian software “Moi Sklad” was used to manage warehouse processes. In 2016, when we were looking for an IT solution, the choice was made in favor of Moi Sklad, since the software had basic out-of-box functionality, a reasonable price and pretty good documentation for the API. Moi Sklad is an exclusively warehous...

Building a digital strategy by Agrain Trans to automate decision-making
Agrain Trans is trying to get closer to the ideal logistics parameters, so it sets itself the following goals: to quickly and automatically make decisions based on an array of data, as well as quickly close documents while minimizing manual input. Even before the war, logistics was not optimal for agricultural companies, because trucks went loaded to ports, but returned empty to the north of Ukraine (90% of crop production was traditionally exported). The russian invasion presented us with new challenges. How to export grain without access to ports? Where to store raw materials, the excess of which remained in Ukraine? The business automation we completed in 2019-2021 helped us build new transportation routes quickly, ensuring Agrain Trans stays marginal during the war. Vitalii Shtempel Ag...

CFO of Ecosoft
Ecosoft together with SMART business takes its own approach to the implementation and scaling of information systems
Implementation stages: step by step The digitalization project in Ecosoft started with Microsoft Dynamics NAV implementation. We started our digitalization journey from the Ecosoft’s sales office in Germany. The ERP system had to be implemented in accordance with the European standards, in German and together with the staff in the local office. With our implementation partner, SMART business, we quickly and successfully performed this transition. Andrii Salatskyi CFO of Ecosoft Following Germany, the system was implemented in Ukraine. The second implementation was much more difficult due to fragmented production and multiple flows that limited the capabilities of the standard system. To comply with the specifics of the enterprise, the ERP and CRM systems were additionally developed and int...
