The situation before the implementation of the project:
Before the project, the functional accounting systems at the enterprise were separate and did not cover all the tasks of the company. The variety of accounting systems significantly complicated the process of entry. There was no opportunity to obtain operational information at the exit. They formed management reporting manually and untimely. Therefore, the company management decided to automate business processes and create a common operational management system based on "1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2".
Specific and particular features of production:
-
A large number of SKUs. A new collection is released every 1.5-2 months. The number of articles is increasing rapidly. Each article corresponds with 3-40 series or parties reflecting the color specifics of the wallpaper.
-
A large number of customers and sales channels.
-
A wide ranking of prices.
-
Sale of self-made products and purchase and sale of Italian products.
-
The need for a clear and flexible delimitation of the rights of system users.
Project uniqueness:
-
Huge database volumes of information about customers, products, prices, and business processes for processing.
-
A need for a clear delineation of users’ rights in the system.
-
Integration with WMS-systems of external warehouses, EDI-systems of key customers, and other "1C" - systems.

A whole range of daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly management reporting has been developed for a wide range of users: from company employees to owners and external users. All management reports are generated automatically. Reporting for foreign founders is also generated by taking into account statistics of previous periods (uploading information from other databases is configured).
