For Ukrainian Railways

A detailed study of the regulatory framework of rail transport, the implementation of tariff calculation automation, and increased popularity of TMkarta among the employees of the Ukrainian Railways were the key factors to start successful long-term cooperation with different divisions and departments of Ukrainian Railways.

In 2001 we took part in the development of the new freight transportation management automation system - Automated system for freight transportation management in railway transport of Ukraine («АСК ВП УЗ»).

The list of our software developments for Ukrainian Railways includes – automated workplaces (AWP) of the employees of freight railway stations, processing and logistic centers, commercial management specialists of Ukrainian Railways. Automated systems developed for the interaction with automated workplaces, enable the support of data processing technological cycles with reference information and logical controls.

Improvement of technology and the legal framework, as well as complex automation of technological processes in freight railway stations, created the preconditions for the introduction of electronic document management, first in the internal applications, and then in cooperation with the client.

As part of the transition to paperless technology and the introduction of electronic document management in the commercial sector, our specialists developed:

• Archive of electronic documents («ПАК АЭДО»)
• Digital signature module (as a part of automated workplaces)
• Technology of digital signature application
• Automated system «Client of Ukrainian Railways» – tool for electronic interaction between the Railways and its customers

For the purposes of Ukrainian transport and logistics center («УТЛЦ»), namely the remote, "single window" provision of a full range of services on the organization of transportation process, we developed the integrated enterprise management automation technology, and adapted the existing developments: automated system Magistr, automated system Expeditor, automated system Client-ЦТЛ and created a contact center – platform with a CRM system.
