ReFIS provided a comprehensive solution for internal purchases at Hedin Automotive

Hedin Automotive digitized the procurement process for greater oversight and efficiency

Client:

Hedin Automotive operates a sales and service network for Mercedes Benz, KIA and other automotive brands in 8 cities in Slovakia

ReFIS implementation:

June 2022

ReFIS function:

Internal e-shop, orders and procurement department support

Results:

  • Simplification and improved transparency of procurement processes in the company, from creating internal purchase requisitions, their approval, to creating orders and tracking delivery and invoicing.
  • Automatic order generation speeds up their processing
  • Higher efficiency thanks to digital overview of document status, reporting and automatic matching of invoices with orders

Client's brief:

  • Create an internal e-shop and digitize processes that speed up company purchases and enable simple and efficient control over documents by responsible managers.

Proposed solution:

Creation of an internal e-shop within ReFIS, where instead of paying, employees create purchase requisitions that are approved by managers. How the proposed solution works:

  • The respective employee within ReFIS creates a requisition for goods or services needed for the company by adding items to the shopping cart
  • The responsible person approves the requisition according to their authorization, and subsequently the procurement department creates orders from the approved requisitions and sends them to suppliers.
  • Receipt of goods from the supplier is confirmed by the responsible person by confirming the invoice; no further approval is needed if its amount does not exceed the approved amount on the requisition.

Client Hedin Automotive also uses document digitization within ReFIS - therefore the supplier invoice is also automatically read via OCR (automatic text recognition) and archived.

Implementation:

Employee adaptation to ReFIS was smooth, divided into phases.

Results:

The internal e-shop at Hedin Automotive Bratislava brought procurement department employees more comfortable work and saved them time. Today they create and approve orders much more easily and the entire process works faster and digitally. At the same time, thanks to ReFIS, Hedin Automotive gained a better overview of documents (requisitions, orders, invoices) and the archive with digitized documents also brought them a simplified overview of their status, faster retrieval and identification of responsibility for their approval.

"Before the actual implementation, we had the opportunity to try the solution with users, which significantly helped us in our decision-making. We decided to implement in phases and by departments. Key employees could try the system on real documents during the preparation phase and fine-tune the settings."
Stanislav Recký, IT Director at Hedin Automotive
"Approval of purchase requests is identical and equally simple as for documents. Automatic order generation speeds up processing. Overview of document status, reporting, automated matching of invoices to orders - all this brings digitization and greater transparency and efficiency to our company."
Stanislav Recký, IT Director at Hedin Automotive
"We used to coordinate office supply purchases, but it was ReFIS that gave them a clear structure and fully automated them. This relieved employees at multiple levels from unnecessary tasks. For us who are responsible for document approval, it also made our work easier, which we can now dedicate to more important things."
Matúš Brečka, CEO at Hedin Automotive
"After implementing ReFIS, we gained a digital archive of incoming documents and orders, which we did not have in this form before and it was difficult to find documents in their original form. Thanks to digitization, we gain order in documents. ReFIS provides us with an overview of their status, brings automation in processes through rules that we can flexibly add, saving us time in processing. I personally perceive the ReFIS system, as well as the supplier, as a very flexible partner who tried to cover all our business and IT needs, which we managed to achieve together."
Hedin Automotive also uses other features within the ReFIS software. IT Director Stanislav Recký evaluates the experience with them so far.
