The Russian-Japanese company JAPONICA, the official distributor of leading Japanese manufacturers in Russia, continues to introduce the 1C: Integrated Automation software product, the international IT consulting company Odyssey acts as a partner.
To solve the problems of automating management and accounting, the company chose the product "1C: Integrated Automation". Before the project, the company had standard 1C programs with a large number of its own improvements, which is why the management was wary of any innovations. But Odyssey experts provided quality support in making the decision, demonstrating the benefits and benefits of implementing an integrated information system.
Prior to partnering with Odyssey, JAPONICA's IT system was based on disparate information systems. Sales management and accounting were conducted in "1C: Accounting" and "1C: Trade Management". Business growth required the modernization of the existing IT system and the implementation of a comprehensive solution.
Before taking on the project, JAPONICA assessed a large number of risks. After analyzing the market, they came to the conclusion that there are quite a few specialists who could quickly and effectively implement the planned changes. to prevent discommunication between teams, Odyssey builds the right system of interaction. Our customer understands that we are not only about innovation and automation of business processes, but about the business as a whole. We provide consulting services - projects begin with an audit and a deep dive into the specifics of the company's activities,” commented Laysira Eroshenko, Odyssey business architect.
Currently, JAPONICA does not have a large IT department, so the company uses both IT services and Odyssey consulting.
Talking about the future is always relevant
JAPONICA's plans to move its business to Industry 4.0 are impressive.
“Now a lot of people are talking about artificial intelligence. We would also like to introduce an information assistant based on machine learning algorithms into the 1C structure in the future. He could independently automate current business processes. And we would call him "Samurai"! Our company is always happy to meet the challenges of our time with the support of Odyssey”, — comments Andrey Nechet, CEO of JAPONICA.

Odyssey is ready to support and implement almost any idea related to the optimization of existing business processes and establishing communication with consumers, using innovative tools: Big Data and ML, AI, IoT, VR, AR, MR and others.
