The Russian branch of Scania has finalized the electronic document management system, which was introduced in 2015. Recently, the company has expanded its activities and needed to optimize the system. The key points were the automation of a large number of business processes and the customization of templates for contract documents. As a result, the processing of documents was accelerated, and the transparency of accounting for contract documents increased.

Project goal

The uniqueness of the project
- 12 types of contractual documents have been set up (for example, tender documents, commercial proposals, several types of additional agreements and contracts, acts, and invoices), as well as complex processes for processing framework and one-time contracts, processes for coordinating contractors.
- A budget control has been developed when drawing up contractual documents: from the very beginning of work with a counterparty, an employee notes a budget in a client´s card, which is selected based on a number of data, such as agreements, reliability, and so on. If the budget is exceeded when drawing up the contractual documents, the system notifies of the exceeded budget.
