Legion (BIT: It is NEW Management of transport logistics)

The 1C: Accounting and Trade company (BIT) completed the project on automation of transport logistics at the distributor of alcoholic beverages, famous in the area, – Legion companies. The project implemented using industry solution "BIT:HOBA Management of transport logistics" allowed to accelerate repeatedly procedures of a design, assembly and delivery of the order, to reduce financial expenses of transport and mobile communication, it is essential to optimize an inventory control and work of logisticians.

On project deliverables 75 jobs are automated, communication of the implemented products with the 1C: Accounting 8 configuration used in the company is provided. Implementation "BIT:HOBA Management of transport logistics" repeatedly simplified work of logisticians of the company. Now, when obtaining the request for delivery, a system finds geographical coordinates of the client in base and completely creates run, optimum selecting a route, the vehicle and delivery time to the specific area, taking into account the diagram of the planned deliveries of the company. It repeatedly optimized work of logisticians who had to create runs and plans of deliveries manually earlier. Logisticians had an opportunity in time to reserve necessary transport for delivery. It allowed to avoid idle times of own and hired transport.

Also the system of an inventory control applied in the company based on 1C:Enterprise 8 was adapted. It allowed to improve work of a warehouse and interaction of warehouse services with sales agents and logisticians. In Legion company account of goods in a warehouse is kept on batches strictly by an expiration date. To increase the accuracy and transparency of information on a goods remaining balance in a warehouse and to reduce warehouse errors (the hung-up reserve, a negative balance of goods), the mechanism allowing to avoid document posting backdating was configured. Now, at data entry about performance of work, a system automatically checks the order, and if this work was earlier performed, blocks carrying out the similar document. Thanks to it, the goods quantity displayed in a system in a warehouse corresponds to actual balances.

As much as possible to reduce regrading of goods at shipment to the client, in documents for assembly of the order the additional characteristics allowing to specify a specific batch with a specific expiration date and date of pouring were added. Thus, the batch which is written off in a system corresponds to that that it is really shipped to the client.

All this significantly facilitated work of storekeepers. Repeatedly processes of carrying out inventory accelerated. Earlier inventory was carried out on 8-9 hours with employee involvement to overtime for additional salary supplements. Now duration of inventory is 2-3 hours. Purchasing department managers also felt positive influence of a new system, now they possess exact information on a remaining balance and can fill up warehouse stocks in time.

Implementation of the project provided the company with a powerful system for fast and effective work with customer orders. Operational and harmonious work of sales agents, storekeepers, logisticians, purchasing department managers repeatedly accelerated accomplishment of customer orders at all stages. As a result the sales volume of the company increased by 25 percent.

The company management received a transparent control and management system for own business. Work of personnel of the company is considerably improved – due to automation of manual work the staff of logisticians and call center operators is reduced twice. Finance costs are reduced, an inventory control is optimized. Thanks to competent distribution of transport resources expenses on transport are significantly cut down.
