The management of almost any business area needs to solve many problems every day, where material and technical support is at the forefront because the work of the entire enterprise depends on how the supply department is organized, and the effectiveness of achieving the set goals in production or sales. The supply department is responsible for maintaining sufficient inventory levels without creating an oversupply that freezes domestic assets. Employees must accurately determine the needs of each department in material resources, goods, equipment, delivering to the warehouse on time. They are also involved in the organization of reception, storage, and issuance, with parallel control over the appointment, use of the funds received, contributing to savings. Before completing the assigned tasks, supply specialists need to study the demand and supply to each type of resource, conduct a thorough analysis of services prices, products, and their fluctuations, finding the most profitable supplier and method of transportation, to ultimately optimize stocks by reducing internal costs. These processes must be carried out on time, and if we take into account the constantly growing volume of work, it becomes more and more difficult to do it using the old methods, it is much more efficient to transfer these operations to modern tools. Among the powerful ways in the competition is the introduction of computer programs into the organization that specializes in automating various areas of business, including supply. The innovative functionality of the applications helps to increase the efficiency of the work carried out, expand the business, automatically analyze the current processes, leading them to optimization and formalization. Software algorithms help in the competent maintenance of internal documentation, filling out most of the forms, invoices, orders, and payments. The success of the entire organization depends on how the supply and sales procedures are structured, so you should not neglect the introduction of new tools to facilitate the work of suppliers and sales managers, and increase competitiveness. Due to the transparency of each action, the likelihood of abuse by staff is eliminated, and external and internal audit is simplified to management. So many advantages from installing software leave no doubt about the need to purchase it, there is only the problem of choosing a platform suitable for requests, among the large set of offers that can be found on the Internet. Some of them delight users with the design and tempting terms of purchase, others amaze with the number of options, but you should not be fooled by nice words, because you do business with this program, so you should carefully consider each item that precedes the choice. The optimal solution would be a configuration that combines a variety of functionality, a simple and flexible interface, but at the same time, the cost of automation should fit into the available budget. If it seems to you that this cannot be combined in one product, then we are ready to dispel this misconception using the example of the USU Software system, a software platform that not only satisfies the requirements described above but also provides many additional advantages. The USU Software has a convenient interface to everyday work, the development of which takes a minimum time, even to users without skills in working with such tools. The modules of the program are designed in such a way as to solve any issue on the organization of internal processes, including in the supply of the enterprise. At the same time, the options useful to every department, everyone will find something to themselves that helps facilitate the execution of work tasks. But, from the very beginning, a single information network is set up according to each department, which allows quickly interacting and exchanging data and documents. The program allows collecting and ranking orders, automatically determining needs, analyzing the quantitative balances in warehouses, comparing with the existing schedule and budget of the organization. It becomes much easier according to the supply department to determine the most profitable supplier option and approve it at each management level without leaving the office. The system helps to develop a rational resource management scheme, taking into account the nuances of current activities, based on conclusions from previous period's statistics. A clear procedure when registering applications for organizing the purchase of goods and materials reduces the cost of logistics and storage since an optimal balance of stocks maintained in the warehouse. The program allows drawing up supply orders in such a way that they reflect a whole range of characteristics, such as the maximum price, quantity, and other parameters that are important for a particular product. This approach does not provide an opportunity to violate the conditions and deliver the wrong product. Each user action can be easily tracked from a distance using the audit function, so management can solve the issue of transparent control, develop a policy to encourage active employees. Also, to maintain the required level of confidentiality of info bases, it is possible to differentiate the visibility of certain information, this option is available only for the owner of an account with the ‘main’ role. Automation of the organization of the supply department through the USU Software configuration help to analyze the expenses in detail and quickly and help in their reduction. To achieve savings, a rational approach to supply planning is applied, reducing the volume of raw materials in the warehouse, logistics, and warehousing funds. As a result, you receive an optimal mechanism, where, instead of accounting for expenses, competent financial management takes place. As a result of the organization of the automated space and the active operation of the platform for several months, a significant reduction in expenses is noted, calculations are improving, and order is being established in the documentation. Accompanying supply papers, contracts, invoices, acts, and bills generated automatically, the department staff can only check the correctness of the data, if necessary, supplement and send to print, directly from the menu. By freeing employees of the organization from the paperwork, the speed, and quality of work increases, as there is more time for advanced training and the implementation of new projects. To ensure the effectiveness of our development before the purchase, we suggest using the test version, which is distributed free of charge but also has a limited period of use. The software help formalize the organization of purchases, starting with the preparation of an application for the purchase of specific material resources, ending with delivery to the consumer. The likelihood of errors and shortcomings is reduced to almost zero, since software algorithms control the input information, checking it with other electronic databases. The system helps to bring to a unified order the work of each division and department when each performs clearly regulated tasks, but at the same time in close cooperation with each other. A systematic approach to the supply department simplifies supply approval by ensuring the required level of data security and auditing. Management reporting, generated in a separate module, facilitates decision-making after analyzing the current state of affairs in different areas of activity. By simplifying internal supply processes and reducing the workload on staff, efficiency increases, and costs are reduced. Quick access to up-to-date information helps to correctly assess the current state of affairs in the organization and make informed decisions. The software supports the import option when in a few minutes you can transfer a large amount of information to the database while maintaining the internal structure. The USU Software program provides full control of financial flows, which makes it possible to track the most expensive items of expenditure and optimize them. A preliminary analysis of the available offers from suppliers helps to choose the most advantageous option for the organization. Users enter their personal account by entering a login and password, choosing a role, this allows differentiating the visibility of information blocks, the availability of functions. Additionally, you can order integration with the enterprise website, retail, department equipment, video surveillance cameras, further simplifying the management and transfer of data to the database. The organization system of the supply department does not allow leakage of commercial information, since the visibility is limited based on the position held. To the organization located in other countries, we offer to purchase an international version of the hardware, with customization and translation of the menu for the specifics of a particular business. Due to the individual adjustment of the modules to the customer's requests, the implementation of the USU Software platform entails an increase in the level of loyalty from partners and suppliers!
