Ukr-China Communication: logistics and financial processes on Creatio
A purchasing, delivery-from-China and customs brokerage company replaced an outdated desktop accounting system with Creatio for logistics management and financial accounting across a group of companies.
About the client
Ukr-China Communication helps companies purchase goods in China, deliver them to Ukraine and clear customs. A single shipment involves suppliers, carriers, customs, warehouses and the end customer, often across several related companies.
The challenge
- ✕The company worked in a legacy desktop accounting application with performance problems.
- ✕The old system could not be integrated with modern tools, so data moved between systems manually.
- ✕Consolidating reports across the group of companies took about five days.
The solution
Process modeling first
- •Order intake, purchasing, shipment tracking, customs clearance and settlement were modeled in BPMN before configuration.
Logistics management
- •Shipments, suppliers, carriers and customs steps are managed as records with statuses and owners.
- •Stage transitions are driven by business processes instead of manual reminders.
Financial accounting
- •Costs, invoices and settlements are linked to shipments and customers.
- •Financial data for the group of companies is consolidated in one system.
Results
- Reporting time across the group reduced from five days to one.
- More than 70% of processes automated.
- A modern, integrable platform replaced the legacy desktop system.
