Since July 1, 2020 all participants of the shoe market of Russia should make obligatory marking of products and transfer all data on production, import and sales of goods to the state system; since March, 2020 import to the country of footwear not marked is prohibited. To conform to requirements of the legislation, the Italian producer of footwear and Geox clothes needed to organize data exchange between own IT platforms, IT solution of the 3PL-operator and the system of the Russian state regulator "Fair Sign". Essential complexity was the fact that the companies to the appointed term were required additional completions of the internal accounting systems.

The partner in the project selected CORUS Consulting Group. For integration of systems iDocs used the solution ": Marking", own development of the IT company. It transfers information on the movement of the goods which are subject to obligatory marking to the state accounting system.

To provide timely start of all procedures of goods marking in foreign warehouses and a customs clearance on border specialists of Corus Consulting suggested to use the mechanism of loading and unloading of data through the Excel templates. In parallel the project team developed instruments of automation of data exchange. Specialists of the IT company finished the existing schemes of business processes of Geox and created program interfaces (API) for integration of the systems of the producer and the 3PL-operator with service "iDocs: Marking", unrolled in a cloud.
