In modern business reality, to stay profitable and ensure a business' further growth, companies must constantly improve their business processes and aim for the highest operations efficiency. IT solutions and software existing today enable businesses to automate most of their operational processes to ensure vital data exchange is near real-time, and eliminate all unnecessary manual, error-prone operations to make those data reliable.
To modernize the existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and ensure the efficiency of financial operations and business communication processes, Hartela partnered with IFS, a worldwide known supplier of business systems and solutions. With this project, the company aimed to manage costs, revenues, and value-added operations in real-time, and streamlining financial processes with the latest technology.
The new financial management system needed to be fully integrated with all existing business partners, systems, and platforms vital for Hartela's business operations to achieve these goals. Having such integrations in place, the company could avoid all unnecessary manual work and ensure having all the important data available in the correct format around the Hartela environment whenever needed.
Due to a shortage of time and the understanding of the challenges associated with implementing such a massive project in-house, the company has outsourced all integration tasks to Youredi.
Chosen as an integration partner for this project, Youredi committed to designing, implementing, and maintaining all the necessary integrations and addressing all the integration needs that might occur in the future.
Daily, Hartela works with over seventeen suppliers and partners. Each of those has its own system designed to work with certain data formats and protocols used for data transfer. Among those data standards are XML, CSV, JSON, txt/SEQ and protocols such as HTTPS, FTP/ SFTP and direct file writes/reads.
As a result, the project's scope was to establish integrations of all existing partners with Hartela's new system and provide the company with an infrastructure, enabling the fast onboarding of new parties and rapid adjustments of existing connections.
The solution Youredi provides to Hartela is a fully managed service based upon a unique cloud-based connectivity platform designed to work with various interfaces, data types, and standards.
Since the solution is entirely cloud-based and fully managed, it requires no changes in Hartela's system, nor does it require a team of in-house experts. The solution acts as an integration layer between the company and its business partners. It ensures the required data standards by automatically converting, monitoring, and validating data from multiple sources. Youredi's expert team takes care of all integrations, message mappings, and onboarding of new business partners.
Utilizing Youredi's solutions, in less than six months, Hartela successfully deployed the new financial management system, eliminated all unnecessary manual work in the purchase and invoicing process, and established e-invoicing, enabling a near to real-time data exchange with all integrated parties.
Having Youredi as an integration partner, the company can expect a fast onboarding of new business partners regardless of the data format or the system they have in place.
All these make the company's new financial management system efficient and reliable, which is vital for further business growth.
