We have rather tight restrictions in relation to production capacities, and in other aspects we locate bigger freedom of action: we can increase if it is required, warehouse, to broaden the park of vehicles, to strengthen staff – the main thing that now we have an opportunity to predict business processes quickly and simply and also to bring information to all participants of a chain at any level. Besides, reports which formed at our enterprise to the project represented separate, separate and sometimes absolutely outdated versions of tables of Excel which to join with each other was extremely difficult and labor-consuming.
