BPMS (Business Process Management System)

A class of corporate systems designed to manage the business processes of an enterprise

Ensuring the legal significance of electronic advance reports

Fast and regulated approval of business tripsм

A business trip request is created in a few clicks in the system, and you can specify several destinations at once.
Right in the application, you can request the purchase of tickets or indicate that the trip is planned by personal vehicle.
Approval is carried out within the framework of a task on a customized route with clear deadlines and responsibilities, as provided for by the company’s regulations.
If there are any inaccuracies in the design, the responsible persons can send the request for revision to the initiator.
As soon as the request is approved by all responsible persons, the system automatically generates a travel order based on the data from the request. The manager has to sign the order using an electronic signature (ES), and the accounting department has to transfer the advance payment.

Correctness of extracting details from the document is more than 90%

Preparation of an expense report with minimal employee effort

The system generates an expense report card (ER) automatically after transferring funds to the employee who is going on a business trip.
Documents confirming the expenses (e-tickets, receipts, scanned images or photos of invoices, receipts) are sent to a special email address of the organization, from where they are picked up by intelligent services (RPA robots) and sent to the system.
Intelligent services (RPA robots) also extract data from receipts and tickets and then automatically enter it into the tabular part of the report card.
The employee checks the report card and the correctness of the information provided and approves it by the manager.
The electronic expense report is generated automatically based on the data in the card. The employee only needs to sign the AP and submit the paper originals to the accounting department.

The risk of losing documents is minimized

Easy uploading of documents for tax audit

All advance reports are stored in a single registry in the system, and access to them is limited by the configured user rights.
According to the set parameters, you can quickly find and download an archive with reporting documents for tax and audit purposes.
The reports are uploaded in accordance with the requirements of the regulatory authorities: together with files supported by a qualified electronic signature (QES) and supporting documents. In addition, the report is stamped with the information about the ES. If the AP is signed by a simple ES, then only the document with the stamp is uploaded.

Use omnichannel in business trips

Start the business trip process through any convenient channel - browser, smartphone, messenger, or native app. For example, send a message to a chatbot that you are planning a trip. Or call a voice robot, which will ask you about all the necessary details and start the business trip preparation process.

Work with any device

Start the process even if you're already on a business trip, on the road, or simply away from your computer.

Natural communication

No need to learn standard commands. Text and voice robots work like regular operators - they will capture all the information and start the process.

Business trips and advance reports – process automation

Implementation examples

A management accounting system was built, which made it possible to analyze the company's financial results and the profitability of business lines from different angles. Three main financial reports were created and automated: P&L, Cashflow, Balance. A CRM system for sales and project management was installed. It allowed to build communications with external contractors and between employees, to appoint a specific person responsible for each process within the company, to establish project management and concert planning. As a result of the implementation, the client received a single integrated environment in which all its departments work. There is a clear picture of any project - from the first negotiations, distribution of responsibilities and tasks, to understanding what includes accounting of income and expenses of a particular project.

We finalized IFRS accounting components on the basis of 1C: Enterprise configuration “Production Enterprise Management”. The work was carried out in several stages, within the framework of which we realized: finalization of the mechanism of elimination of intragroup operations, mapping and translation of IFRS, finalization of the document (report) “Sales base”. This made it possible to reduce the time of formation of financial statements, reduce the number of routine operations on data erection, as well as reduce the risk of errors caused by “manual” data processing.

As a result of the implementation, the company additionally began to receive several million hryvnias of profit each month due to saving the working time of employees, increasing labor productivity and reducing the production cycle - increasing the speed of passing all documentation within the enterprise.

This tool allowed the client to model and automate the execution of business processes, monitor and analyze them in depth, identify and eliminate problem areas. As a result of the implementation, the company increased its operational efficiency, ensured effective interaction of its departments, minimized the impact of human factor on the workflow, thus eliminating the loss of important information.
