Such as clothes seeds, jewelry and jewelry, food, and, perfumery cosmetics board games and sporting goods, stationery and dishes. Since the opening of the first outlet, employees of the Low-Price company have worked with mobile vehicles, computers for OS Windows which they have changed twice for several years. software

Due to the fact that both the first and second software turned out to be inconvenient to work and did not allow performing the entire pool of warehouse and commodity operations, there was a need to find such software for shipping documentation could be improved for the needs of the chain of stores. Here are just the integrators whom the management of the company "Low" invited for implementation, could not find a suitable software solution for "ASTOR: Trading Network 7.0."

Tasks

In each case when the business requires additional investments, the approach to setting tasks designed for further development changes. They become clearer and more accurate. Because it is necessary to take into account the old and not overpay for the new.

The management of the retail chain "Low Center" conducted an analysis of the current affairs of the company and outlined to the specialists "Primasoft," who were invited to automate the warehouse and retail facilities, a number of tasks:

• replace the existing shipping documentation software with a more modern one,
• automate the acceptance of goods from suppliers,
• set up a Collect operation barcodes to print price tags,
• implement the possibility of scanning recognitions alcoholic and tobacco brands,
• Optimize inventory and shipment of goods.

To solve the tasks, the integrators advised the management of "Low Price" to introduce the software "Store 15" from the company "Kleverens." Since this software is open source, it is easy to refine, and the mobile client is intuitive.

Decision

And someone monitors trends in the world of hardware and changes devices in a timely manner. In any case, everyone chooses what fits the realities of the business.

"We made the decision to use 'Shop 15' at both the old 'wind' terminals and the new 'android' terminals. They decided to purchase new equipment due to the fact that WinCE is more 'slow' in processing item items. Now we have fully configured data exchange and integration with 1C, stores work without interruptions and delays, "Khafizov Rafael, a specialist in the IT department of the Low-Price retail chain, shared his impressions.

Even before the start of implementation work, Primasoft specialists held talks with the management of Kleverens, discussed the possibility of support and received approval for the independent customization of Store 15.

Now, when a car arrives from the supplier, the storekeeper of the Low Price network takes the shipping documentation and accepts the goods in a few minutes. When accepting alcoholic beverages, each bottle is scanned separately - blot. That is, operators simultaneously work with 2 invoices - receipt and Typical Technological Work order EGAIS. The mobile computer automatically checks the brands, after which the warehouse employee makes a decision on drawing up and sending acts of acceptance and discrepancy (refusal).

Result

The Low Price retail chain managed to significantly increase the efficiency of the process of accepting goods from suppliers and reduce losses and losses due to human errors. Automation made it possible to reduce the time spent on warehouse operations for the conversion of goods and ensured 100% compliance of data in 1C, in the warehouse and in stores, and the processes themselves became more transparent.

Today, employees of the Low Value network work with data collection terminals of a mixed fleet - on Windows and Android OS - about 120 mobile devices. New shipping documentations are already purchased only on Android OS.

"The customer had two options: write from scratch a mobile application based on '1C' implement and finalize the decision from Kleverens under "ASTOR." We negotiated the implementation all of 2019. But already in January 2020, they finally began to switch to new software and shipping documentation. From the global: we have fully integrated 'Store 15' with 'ASTOR: Retail Network 7.0 Smart Enterprise' on our own because typical 'Cloverens' integration processing was not suitable. The 'ASTOR' menu has a'download/load from shipping documentation' button for each journal and reference book. Such a separate processing is not very convenient to use. Everything should be inside the system. Therefore, we have developed a new convenient processing for the Low-Price network, "summed up Vladimir Kanunnikov, an implementation of the LOW-PRICE network project.
