Challenge

The client‘s business was rapidly expanding and faced difficulties with the legacy software. As a SAP implementation partner, our team had to address these issues so that the software could meet the growing demands of the enterprise.

Objectives

Rebuild legacy software

Foster visibility and control over the value chain

Solution & functionality

Our team proposed deploying an SAP business suite to automate logistics, finance, HR management, reporting, and more. Utilizing SAP Activate, we managed to integrate best practices and methodologies for smooth S/4HANA implementation.

Financial accounting module (FI)

Our team deployed a finance module to manage transactions within the client’s businesses, covering general ledger and asset management, as well as accounts payable and receivable, financial reports, and bank accounting. All financial activities, income, and expenditures are carefully recorded in the module, so they stay compliant with global accounting standards.

Funds management module (FM)

Using this module, the client can utilize budget resources efficiently. The module enables controlling revenue and expenditures, tracking funds according to financial constraints, and preventing budget excesses, while simultaneously allowing managers to change releases, supplements, returns, and transfers.

Sales and distribution module (SD)

The module houses customer and sales data, encompassing every facet of the sales cycle. Additionally, utilizing it with Materials Management (MM) and Financial Accounting (FI) modules helps to facilitate sales transactions, oversee orders, devise pricing tactics, and evaluate sales efficacy.

Controlling module (CO)

As the module documents the essential data, stakeholders are enabled with efficient decision-making, supervision, and enhancement of all corporate operations. Additionally, the module compares actual data with the initial plan so that it can be adjusted for a short-term or a long-term period.

Human resources module (HCM)

The last not least important module was integrated to oversee and bolster the client’s workforce — staff administration, organizational oversight, time management, payroll processing, perks, and self-service functionalities for employees, so that human resources are applied to their full potential.

Business intelligence module (BI)

We designed this module for efficient data analysis and reporting, giving the client the possibility to get data from SAP and non-SAP platforms, then convert them into valuable insights. Functionality allows a range of possibilities, like data storage, modeling, creating reports and dashboards, as well as setting key performance indicators (KPIs).

Materials management module (MM)

The module helps to oversee procurement, stock, and warehouse operations along the supply value chain. This implementation ensures timely availability of materials, optimizes inventory levels, and streamlines procurement procedures.

Results and business value

With SAP S/4hana implementation, we replaced the obsolete system with cost-effective solutions that enabled the client to diversify workflows, regain data integrity, visibility and controllability over business processes.

Benefits for client

With SAP S/4HANA implementation, our team transformed the client’s operational processes, covered project administration, inventory, sales, distribution, and financial management. We improved the client’s operational workflows, facilitating smooth data transmission and interaction among various divisions, thereby enhancing coordination and teamwork throughout the organization.

    Challenge

    The client sought to enhance healthcare provider data management processes, demanding seamless integration, easy patient record access, and strict data protection compliance.

    Related objectives

    Evaluate the current data flow design

    Overhaul the data flow completely

    Automate routine tasks

    Design a secure, high-functionality solution

    Solution & functionality

    We crafted an architecture and data flow for the healthcare provider data management, empowering the client’s staff to gather, analyze, and use patient data for tasks like assessing treatment outcomes and sharing essential information with insurance companies.

    AWS

    Our healthcare data management software relies on Amazon Web Services as it’s secure, flexible, scalable, and cost-effective.

    Client staff input patient data in various formats, like images, videos, and text, which are sent to AWS and stored in a data lake. This data encompasses medical test results, appointment timestamps, and multimedia files from MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and more.

    Extract, transform, load (ETL) pipelines

    We’ve devised and enacted ETL pipelines to automatically consolidate data fragments from client employees into cloud storage.

    Data warehouse & data lake

    All data gathered through ETL pipelines is funneled via Apache Airflow into the data lake for refinement. After refinement, it’s forwarded to the data warehouse, serving various functions, including patient treatment consultation, efficacy evaluation, in-depth data analysis, and furnishing necessary information to insurance institutions.

    Access control

    The healthcare data management software safeguards sensitive data with a smart access control system. This system checks employee statuses from the client’s database, granting access to patient data solely to the specialists working with the patient. Exceptions are made for substitutes during healthcare worker absences.

    When data sharing is necessary, like for medical consultations or insurance requests, employees can request permission, and the healthcare data management software automatically facilitates secure data sharing, preventing accidental or intentional inclusion of extra information.

    Results and business value

    We’ve built a healthcare data management software that empowers workers to efficiently collect, store, and manage patient data, ensuring robust security measures to prevent leaks. Our software engineers have automated mundane processes and optimized healthcare provider data management for maximum efficiency.

    MVP launched in 4 months

    This application keeps over 1.5M active and 8M passive users secure on a daily basis.

    40% of dull tasks automated

    The client highly praised our development team of Android, iOS, and QA engineers for their technical expertise and communication.

    The healthcare data management software allows workers to concentrate on essential tasks instead of dealing with error-prone data flow management. Healthcare provider data management is aligned with government regulations and designed with the latest business intelligence expertise.

      Challenge

      This web solution needed to incorporate a module system with specific modules for user and access control, process management, and data administration while remaining resilient and adaptable to both internal and external changes.

      Related objectives

      Enable data centralization within one system

      Allow adding new features without significant refinements

      Integrate dashboards with analytics

      Allow assigning the employee accountable for a specific process/task

      Integrate and optimize business processes

      Reduce the company’s operating costs

      Solution & functionality

      Our software development team built an automated web application and introduced a highly flexible database to correspond to frequent updates in HR and business processes. All the added features improve the handling of staffing issues and routine administrative tasks.

      Employee Profile

      Previously, employee information was scattered, lacking a centralized hub. Now, the HRM system consolidates all processes into a single platform. It enables task assignments, comment submissions, and filters employee data, allowing results to be saved in spreadsheets for analytics. In the Employee Profile tab, specialists access general info, Skills Management section, Development Plan, one-on-one meeting functionality, and document sharing. The system streamlines employee data management, improving decision-making and enhancing HR processes.

      Centralized system with flexible settings

      Frequent changes in the company structure, employee functions, and overall internal business processes needed centralization. To address this challenge, we upgraded the employee data storage and empowered it with highly flexible settings to easily update and obtain the information. We enabled access to organizational structure, advanced search, and quick employee searches using filters like name, administrative units, positions, managers, and employee filtering by professional expertise, skills, and more.

      Within our HRM application, we’ve introduced the following functionality:

      • Company structure tab
      • Organizational structure presented in both tree and list formats
      • Comprehensive employee list with various filtering options
      • Efficient employee search

      With these enhancements, we’ve streamlined access to crucial company information, making it more accessible and beneficial for the employees.

      Localization of HR processes

      Businesses based in different regions adhere to specific legal norms and HR processes, such as contract models, vacation management, probation, days off, and calendar plans. Our specialists faced this challenge by building a flexible modular structure within the Processes tab. Users are provided with a current set of options:

      Create process drafts and efficiently oversee existing processes.
      Receive automatic alerts when final versions of processes are prepared and published.
      Provide multilingual support, ensuring a more inclusive experience for users.

      Improved leave management

      Leave policies vary by office location, including time off procedures, probationary periods, and allotted days. This diversity may pose challenges, especially when employees relocate. The system simplifies sick days requests, providing a clear overview of time off entitlements, upcoming leaves, and request history.

      We have introduced the ‘Time off’ tab which displays leave balance, requests details (leave type, date, duration, quantity, and request status, subordinate requests) enabling managers to review their subordinates’ leave requests. Data export streamlines record-keeping in accounting programs.

      System settings

      Frequent changes in the company organization, employee roles, and operational procedures called for centralizing. We have introduced the bulk change feature with an intuitive UI in the “System Settings” tab to achieve this. It encompasses the company structure, allowing users to apply changes in bulk through a user-friendly interface.

      Additionally, we incorporated smart filtering within the company structure section. Users can filter data by unit, division, department, team, group, and more. On one hand, this empowers users to seamlessly relocate employees to new locations or departments with a single click. On the other hand, filtering enables users to select multiple parameters and swiftly access pertinent information efficiently.

      Corporate mobile application

      To gain an opportunity to work efficiently on the go, we integrated the ecosystem with a corporate mobile employee HR app that duplicates the main HRM system functionality and makes corporate workflow information easily accessible. The mobile app covers key corporate needs, such as access management, company structure, employee viewing, time off processing, main settings, and notifications.

      Results and business value

      Our specialists helped to enhance the organization’s operational flow by developing a secure modular web HR software solution.

      Fully functioning app to distribute on a SaaS basis

      Improved workflows

      Reduced operational costs

      Flexible system

      Stable system performance and security

      The new HRM system optimized processes and reduced costs for a large firm with 1,000+ employees. Our software team continued to enhance the cross-platform HRM app, making it available globally via SaaS.

        Challenge

        The major objective for the team was to migrate the customer’s corporate system to a cloud-based Power BI solution, and thus enhance its scalability and automation.

        Related objectives

        Reliable data storage

        Enhanced functionality for analytics

        Streamlined business procedures

        Solution & functionality

        The team moved the on-site platform to the cloud, constructed data repositories and refined analytics dashboards.

        Curated databases

        The initial challenge was the substantial amount of scattered data to migrate, some of which came with numerous discrepancies and some as part of unclean datasets. However, the team managed to make the transfer process as smooth as possible.

        To address the problem, our tech specialists created data marts (data storage systems specific to the organization’s business units): Operative, Employee Management, Financial, Supply Chain, and E-commerce. Data can be transferred here from various origins such as internal APIs, Salesforce, and Google Analytics, then converted and stored in the ultimate data storage.

        Full-cycle automation

        The team has successfully organized all data from various sources to be accessible within the Power BI platform, Despite challenges like data inconsistency and peculiarities in data representation. We implemented end-to-end workflow automation integrating all processes with data, such as extraction, mapping, filtering, as well as the creation of data marts and dashboards.

        Enhanced analytics dashboards

        With the existing cloud solution, the data is securely stored and automatically updated daily. Users can view all the selected data of internal processes, personnel administration, financial, supply chain operations, and marketing activities on customizable dashboards. Additionally, they can tailor how the data is displayed per their requirements. As a result, the end customer gains the basis for timely and data-driven decisions.

        Results and business value

        We have developed a reliable automated system with maximum code cleanliness and highly robust clusters for multiple data operations. The solution as a whole enables more resilience for the company and more effective data-driven decisions.

        Real-time data synchronization

        Information on products, their specifications and availability from the e-commerce platform and the internal system is being aligned and updated on a real-time basis.

        Visualization via dynamic dashboards

        The customer can analyze events inside the customer’s journey, from their initial website visit to the purchase (with data from Google Analytics and Salesforce), and prepare more customized campaigns based on their behavior.

        Improved delivery process

        The delivery process became more streamlined at all stages, on both the retailer’s and the customer’s sides.

        Benefits for client

        The team got positive feedback from both the customer and the end-user on the exceptional standard of development and efficiency of the app, as well as the effective communication throughout the project.
