FTO introduces 1C: Integrated Automation for Unigaz

2021: Process Description and Solution Design

On August 19, 2021, the FTO company announced that it was introducing 1C: KA for the Unigaz fuel company.

In early spring 2020, the Unigaz fuel company turned to FTO with the need to set up a planning automation system. The project started in November 2020. FTO was tasked with a phased transition from historical systems to 1C: KA, into a single base for maintaining different planning circuits. The project turned out to be interesting, the customer imagined quite well what he should get in the end, with a priority of content and quality.

As of August 2021, FTO specialists completed the stage of describing the processes and design of the solution for planning functionality in 1C: KA. The customer decided to introduce not immediately the entire planning block, but gradually, bringing to perfection each step. The following implementation queues were allocated:

• forecasting (sales, purchasing, BDR);
• comparison of the fact plan;
• Operative planning (sales, purchasing).

This approach will allow the implementation process to understand how well the planning scheme is selected.

For example, when modeling and describing processes, the forecast planning tactics for all distribution channels, a single sales planning scheme for the year were chosen, and the fact of sales of previous years was taken as the basis for calculating the sales plan. But when passing the functionality revealed:

• That planning should select different planning schemes for different distribution channels
• it is worth separately considering sales by columns (filling stations) commissioned during the year preceding the planning year (for such columns (filling stations) in the year of launch, sales only gained momentum and entered the mode of stability of sales).

As of August 2021, the project team is working on grinding the planning methodology and shifting it to 1C. After closing the design stages and building the first stage of tasks, the project was transferred to the development group.
