1C: Trade Management
Trading enterprises in Moldova face a complex set of interconnected problems that significantly limit their growth and profitability. Manual management of trading processes, outdated accounting methods, and lack of analytics lead to serious financial losses and reduced competitiveness.
Critical Problems of Modern Trade
Chaos in Inventory Management Most trading companies do not have accurate information about actual stock balances in warehouses. Accounting is conducted in fragmented Excel spreadsheets, data becomes outdated within hours, and inventories reveal critical discrepancies. This leads to constant problems: selling non-existent goods, overstocking of illiquid products, and loss of sales due to the absence of popular items.
Uncontrolled Financial Losses Without systematic control, companies lose up to 15-25% of potential profit. Suboptimal pricing policies, untimely discounts, "forgotten" client debts, overpayments to suppliers — each operation carries hidden losses. This is especially critical for companies with a wide assortment and many sales points.
Ineffective Purchase Planning Purchasing decisions are made intuitively, without analyzing turnover and seasonality. The result is predictable: freezing working capital in slow-moving goods, missed profits from shortages of popular items, excessive warehouse stocks that "consume" up to 40% of working capital.
Loss of Clients Due to Low Service Quality Without a centralized client database, managers do not see the full history of interactions, forget important agreements, and provide inaccurate information about product availability and delivery times. Each such case is a potentially lost client and a damaged reputation.
Lack of Management Control Managers do not receive operational information about key business indicators. Analysis of product profitability, manager effectiveness, and seasonal dynamics requires weeks of report processing. During this time, the situation changes drastically, and decisions made become irrelevant.
System Solution: Automation on the 1C: Trade Management Platform
Solving these problems requires a comprehensive approach. 1C: Trade Management for Moldova, version 3.1, is an integrated platform covering all critical processes of a trading enterprise with regard to local legislation.
Accurate Accounting and Inventory Control
Multi-level Warehouse Accounting The system maintains accurate records of stock balances by warehouses, storage cells, batches, and serial numbers. Any movement of goods is recorded in real time. Automated checks prevent negative balances and incorrect write-offs.
Expiration Date and Quality Control The system tracks product expiration dates, automatically generates notifications of approaching critical dates, and controls product rotation based on the FIFO principle. This is especially important for grocery stores and pharmaceutical companies.
Inventory and Reconciliation Automated inventory procedures with support for data collection terminals. The system automatically detects discrepancies, generates recount documents, and analyzes causes of shortages and surpluses.
Optimization of Purchasing Activities
Turnover Analysis and Demand Planning The system analyzes sales history, identifies seasonal trends, and calculates optimal stock levels for each product. ABC and XYZ analyses allow focusing on the most significant items.
Automatic Supplier Order Generation Based on established parameters, the system automatically creates supplier orders, monitors delivery times, and tracks fulfillment of contractual obligations. This eliminates the human factor and ensures uninterrupted supply.
Purchase Price Control The system maintains a history of purchase prices, analyzes price trends, and detects unjustified supplier price changes. This enables effective negotiations and cost control of goods.
Sales and Customer Relationship Management
Centralized Customer Database Complete information about each client: contact details, purchase history, debts, preferences, individual cooperation terms. Any employee can quickly access up-to-date information and provide quality service.
Flexible Pricing Policy The system supports multi-level pricing: base prices, category discounts, personal terms, promotional offers. All calculations are done automatically when processing orders, eliminating manager errors.
Sales Plan Monitoring The system tracks sales plan fulfillment by managers, product groups, and regions. Automated notifications of critical deviations allow timely adjustments to trading policies.
Financial Planning and Control
Accounts Receivable Management Automatic control of payment deadlines, client reminders generation, and overdue debt analysis. The system helps minimize financial risks and improve accounts receivable turnover.
Profitability Analysis Detailed profitability analysis by products, clients, sales channels, and regions. The system shows which directions bring maximum profit and which require optimization or closure.
Cash Flow Planning Forecasting client receipts and supplier payments based on signed contracts and historical data. This allows efficient financial resource planning and avoidance of cash gaps.
Adaptation to Moldovan Specifics
The system is configured to operate in accordance with Moldovan tax legislation. Correct VAT calculation, fiscal document generation, and integration with electronic document management systems.
The system interface is available in Romanian and Russian. Documents can be generated in either language depending on client preferences and legal requirements.
Connection to banking systems for automatic payment processing, integration with courier services for delivery tracking, interaction with tax systems for automatic reporting.

Implementation Methodology
Detailed analysis of the company's current business processes, identification of bottlenecks, and determination of automation priorities. Development of technical specifications considering industry specifics and business scale.
Implementation begins with the most critical processes: warehouse accounting and sales. Additional modules such as purchasing, finance, and analytics are gradually connected. This approach minimizes risks and allows quick achievement of initial results.
The system is customized to the specifics of the particular trading enterprise: product nomenclature, discount schemes, document forms, analytical breakdowns. Individual reports and dashboards are created.
Practical training for all user categories: from warehouse staff to managers. Preparation of detailed instructions and work regulations. Certification of key users.
Continuous technical support, consultations on functionality, regular system updates. Performance monitoring and settings optimization.
Security and Control
A flexible system of roles and access rights restricts employee access only to necessary information. Every action in the system is logged for subsequent audit.
The system ensures reliable protection of commercial information: data encryption, regular backups, protection against unauthorized access.
A detailed log of all operations allows tracking any changes in the system, identifying errors or abuses, and restoring event sequences if necessary.
