CodexWorks Technologies

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a transport and logistic company based in Romania. We have premises also in Italy and Germany. Our group turnover was around 30M EUR last year and it was reached with the support of our 200 employees. I am one of the managing partners at this company and I am also the project manager for this ERP.

For what projects/services did your company hire CodexWorks Technologies?

We started our project in 2012 with a different company that is well known among the software companies in Cluj. the project was a failure. We contracted CodexWorks to take over the project. Finnally we decided that is better to sart it over again and we did so.

What were your goals for this project?

The project main goal was to have the image of our daily operations in to the ERP and among with them also the accounting transactions. Other goals were: cost controling, efficiency of our colleagues, more volume with less people.

How did you select this vendor?

We searched a small company ready to confrunt the preassure that came from the lack of a functional ERP in our company.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Together we designed the ERP that our company could not be functional without it anymore. The software is very complex and it coveres:

• transport planing
• self invoicing for our main suppliers
• invoice aprooving flow for all other invoices
• automatic invoicing to all customers
• automatic upload of the POD’s directly by the drivers
• automatic sending of the invoices
• automatic blocking a client that has overdue invoices or that he reached the insurance limit
• automatic payment reminders
• automatic reports for all kind of activities

The production was made by Codecs 100%. We worked in sprints of 1 week or 2 weeks, depending of the urgency of the functionalities delivered in that sprint. We tested the new functionalities but they also tested them before with the automatic tests.

What was the team composition?

In the project they involved up to 8 persons depending of the volume needed in that period and also on the persons skills. From the beginning until now, we had a project manager from their side that made really easy the communication between us.

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The first version was launched in January 2017. Then we eliminate the double working in the old ERP and in a huge shared excel like googlesheets. We eliminate a lot of human mistakes.

Since 2016 we doubled our turnover but we did not increased the number of our employees. At the end of the year, after that the implementation will be over we could increase the turnover up to another 50% without hiring new people.

The human errors are almost not present due to the procedures implemented with the software help. Due to the ERP, we share to our partners real time informations that our competitors are not able to do offer.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Compare to the other company, the project management was better. Seeing the results, I can say that it was effective as well.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They're a young team that strikes a balance between hard work and smart ideas.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We had only 2 software implementations so comparing to the other company I would say that there aren’t things that needs to be improoved except the fact that maybe longer meetings with the client would be usefull before a new sprint.
