BONI HOLDING SA

Boni Holding AD is a leader in pork production and is among the most established producers of meat products and sausages.

The company includes hybrid and commodity pig farms, as well as one of the most modern meat processing complexes in Europe, which has the technological capabilities to produce an unlimited range of meat products.

Since 2010, Balkan Services has implemented 5 projects in Boni Holding: SOFTONE ERP, BI system development, financial consolidation, IT support, and CRM solution implementation.

Implementation of SOFTONE ERP

Driven by the need for accurate and correct information, Boni Holding AD implemented the cloud version of SOFTONE ERP in 8 Group companies. The solution has been implemented in stages in individual companies, which have different processes, ways of working and teams, and depending on these differences, the behaviour of the ERP system is different.

The implementation of SOFTONE ERP started with business analysis, site visits and discussions with company representatives.

A specific architecture was created for implementing the project, as the way processes are implemented in a pig farm is key. All the processes were revised, allowing a new uniform standard of operation for the entire pig farm, which is the basis of the architecture of the new ERP system.

Once the architecture has been finalised, the implementation phase begins in the individual companies, which involves presenting the different ERP modules, gathering feedback and adapting the system accordingly.

Benefits:

• Quick access to correct business information, unified in one system;
• Automated, significantly accelerated and integrated with each other specific processes in the pig and feed production;
• Easy tracking of business value and performance indicators;
• In-depth insight into individual cost elements and their weighting, hence facilitating decision making for their adjustment;
• Ease of document production and ensuring full traceability of movements through automatic connectivity between pig farms;
• Facilitated tracking of indicators throughout the pig life cycle, analysis of the accumulation of rearing costs as pigs move from one pig farm to another;
• Dramatically reduce the time to monthly closures - from a few days to a few clicks;
• Application of a common standard and comparability of data analysis metrics by company and in aggregate;
• Eliminating the need for additional scale software through direct integration between the ERP system and the scales;
• Unify and standardize the way of working across companies;
• Supporting users' work with multiple automatic checks;
• Freeing up the time of key employees;
• Bringing the team together.

Users:

• Employees in Pig and Feed Production;
• Management of individual companies;
• Senior Management;

Financial consolidation 

Project Description:

A specialized solution for consolidation and planning – LucaNet, was implemented.

A standardized format is created to fill in the individual reports of all companies that are automatically imported into the system with a control ensured over the data consistency.

Financial consolidation process automation:

• elimination of internal group calculations;
• revenues and expenses within the group;
• unrealized gains on assets and inventories balances;
• capital consolidation;
• non-controlling participation in companies.

The software implementation allows the creation of an unlimited number of additional reports from the users without the need of the programmers’ or consultants’ intervention.
