The transition from 1S:UPP to ERP provided BET with full traceability of production

2025: Transition to "1C:ERP Enterprise Management"

First Bit (Sportivnaya office) completed a large-scale project to switch from the outdated 1C: Manufacturing Enterprise Management platform (1S:UPP) to the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management system for BET JSC, a manufacturer of reinforced concrete railway elements. This was announced by "First Bit" on January 27, 2026.

The implementation covered two production sites in Engels and Vyazma and ensured the end-to-end digitalization of key processes. 250 workplaces were automated in 1C:ERP. The large-scale project was implemented by the Sportivnaya office team within the agreed time frame (April 2024 - February 2025) without exceeding the budget.

Prior to the transition to ERP, the company faced disparate data, a burden of manual consolidation of information in Excel, and a lack of operational management reporting. This situation made it difficult to control production and logistics.

Thus, the goals of the project were not only migration with the vendor removed from 1S:UPP support, but also to improve production and logistics efficiency, as well as ensure complete traceability of processes and inventory control. The solution made it possible to create a unified information environment covering procurement, production, quality management and the movement of inventory.

The main challenge was the deep adaptation of the standard ERP to industry processes, especially in the production of sets of reinforced concrete switch bars. We have implemented complex routes with full traceability, serial accounting of multi-component semi-finished products and mechanisms for working with work in progress, while maintaining the standard system architecture for reliability and scaling, - said Roman Viktorov, Project Manager of the Sports Office of First Bit.

A feature of the implementation was the integration of ERP not only with other corporate systems (1C:MDM, 1C: MRO, 1C: LIMS), but also with industrial equipment - automated concrete mixing plants and weighing complexes. This made it possible to close the digital chain of production control: to track each stage from the acceptance of raw materials to the shipment of finished products.

Taking into account the high degree of uncertainty and the many features of the processes, the project team of the customer and the contractor decided to use the hybrid Scrumban methodology - a combination of Scrum and Kanban, focused on flexible and phased management.

The implementation of ERP gave us the main thing - complete transparency and control over production in real time. We have unified the processes in the two plants, improved the accuracy of the data and significantly reduced the time for management decisions. The system ensured traceability even for such complex products as switch bars, "said Granov Alexander, Director of the Information Technology Department of BET JSC.

The result of the transition was a working closed digital ecosystem for BET JSC, which not only solved the current management tasks, but also laid the foundation for replicating the solution to other factories of the company.

The First Bit project demonstrates that even for complex industrial production with unique specifics, the introduction of an ERP system can lead to tangible operational and strategic advantages.
