The challenge

The company decided to implement a new SAP-based information system to improve the management of financial accounting, controlling, logistics and human resources as well as management of long-term assets and the data warehouse. The information system is based on SAP R/3 Enterprise system and branch solution SAP IS-U/CCS, developed by SAP especially for the waterworks engineering industry. In the next stage as well branch modules were added to the system.

The project

S&T Slovakia (VARIAS) provided for the new information system own solutions for identification of material, property and documents with the use of bar codes and for management of company transport processes. This makes the work of employees easier and the processes more transparent, it reduces the time needed for execution of necessary activities as well as the error rate. The second solution allowed interconnection of management of company transport, passenger cars and construction mechanisms with other SAP modules. The new solution supports the management of basic company functions like finances, logistics and human resources management.

The project also included a solution for administration and storage of documents. Thanks to this application, the waterworks company can now electronically manage the distribution of contracts, vendor and sales invoices, requirements of clients and internal documents like e.g. directives, instructions of the management or circulars.
