2023: Automation of operational, management and accounting accounts

Situation at LiftConnect prior to start of project work

The management of the ElevatorConnect company has the need to forcibly abandon the current foreign ERP of the SAP system.

ElevatorConnect has chosen the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management system as a promising solution for automating operational, management and accounting accounting. To solve the problems of import substitution and transition to the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management in August 2022, RDV was invited. RDV experts analyzed the company's business processes and proposed a methodology for switching to a new ERP system.

Project Description

During the project, RDV specialists performed the following works:

• We modeled the main accounting business processes, prepared business process diagrams and identified functional gaps by blocks:
  • NSI;
  • Procurement and procurement;
  • Warehouse;
  • Accounting of maintenance contracts;
  • Accounting of contracts for installation of new equipment;
  • Sales;
  • Cost and cost accounting;
  • Treasury;
  • Regulated accounting.

• They proposed a change in processes in order to minimize functional gaps, comprehensively approached the organization of processes for maintaining operational and regulated accounting.
• The functional gaps were resolved based on the results of modeling:
  • Developed subsystem for accounting and operation with contracts for maintenance of elevator equipment;
  • A convenient assistant for registering a new maintenance contract has been developed.

• A workplace for billing maintenance of elevator equipment has been developed. This workplace is integrated with third-party services, where detailed maintenance records are kept (regulations, plans, dispatching, departures, reasons and deviations). The user in one window received a complete decryption for invoicing the services rendered to customers;
• Finalization of printing plates and reports to the Customer's needs has been carried out.
• The architecture of integration with the third-party service "ElevatorMonitoring" was designed and implemented.
• The rights of users are delimited in accordance with the Customer's requirements;
• Operational accounting of the main processes in ERP has been prepared and launched:
  • Carried out transfer data from the historical system;
  • User training conducted;
  • Basic user instructions prepared;
  • The system was started and user support was provided.

Results obtained by ElevatorConnect based on the results of the project

The results of the implementation of additional subsystems "1C:ERP Enterprise Management" allowed ElevatorConnect to achieve the following results:

1. Rejection of SAP foreign solution and transition to Russian software 1C:ERP Enterprise Management;
2. Start the basic processes of operational, regulated accounting in the new ERP system;
3. Organization of automatic data exchange between the Enterprise Management 1C:ERP and the third-party service "ElevatorMonitoring";
4. Reduce billing time when invoicing services with customers.
5. Due to the prioritization of critical functionality for launch, it was possible to switch from the SAP system and start the system as soon as possible.

In January 2023, a comprehensive launch of the Enterprise Management 1C:ERP took place, and in early May 2023 the system was put into commercial operation. At the moment, the implementation has been completed, 100 jobs have been automated.
