Client Request

Flexo Plate is a company specializing in the production of flexographic printing plates. Prior to the implementation of the internal portal by UAITLAB, the business faced a number of challenges that complicated operations and reduced overall efficiency:

  1. High dependence on human factors in accounting and order processing
    Due to manual data entry, errors frequently occurred, leading to delays in calculations and inconsistencies in financial reporting.

  2. Lengthy document approval process between departments
    Managers spent considerable time exchanging documents and verifying their relevance, which slowed down the production cycle.

  3. Lack of a centralized client database with self-service order functionality
    This increased the workload on staff and made order management more complicated.

  4. No control over material stock and no forecasting capabilities
    The production process often experienced shortages or surpluses of materials, resulting in financial losses.

  5. Lack of automated interaction with partners and courier services
    Order delivery and partner communications were handled manually, increasing the risk of errors and delays.

UAITLAB’s Solution

To address these challenges, UAITLAB developed a custom internal portal that automated key business processes and significantly improved the company's operational efficiency.

--Accounting. An automated data entry system was implemented for financial reports and calculations. Integration with 1C and “Maister” significantly reduced the time required for transaction accounting and minimized the number of errors. Information is now updated in real time, and all operations undergo automatic verification.

Document management. The system now includes a document scanning feature with automatic dispatch to clients. This has drastically reduced the volume of paperwork and accelerated communication between the company and its customers.

Order automation. A user-friendly order form was introduced, accessible to both clients and employees. All orders are synchronized with the internal portal, and their status updates automatically. This reduced the number of calls and clarifications, improving overall customer service quality.

Access control. A role-based access system was implemented, ensuring that each employee has access only to the functions and data necessary for their specific tasks. This enhances security and streamlines workflows.

Dedicated internal portal modules for different departments. Office and production teams operate within their own subsystems, avoiding confusion and creating a more structured work environment.

Material stock control. The system monitors material usage in real time, forecasts procurement needs, and alerts the team about potential shortages. This has enabled the company to avoid overstocking, shortages, and unnecessary expenses.

Client portal. Clients received personal accounts through which they can not only track the status of their orders but also submit technical specifications, define necessary parameters (such as dimensions and types), and communicate directly with managers.

Telegram bot for automated notifications. When subcontracted orders are placed with partners, responsible individuals receive instant alerts. This greatly simplifies control and management of the process.

Logistics automation. Integration with Nova Poshta enabled automated shipment processing, reducing the time spent on logistics operations and improving delivery accuracy. 

QR codes for process tracking. Each employee can quickly log in to the internal portal using their personal QR code. The system also automatically updates the status of each order as it moves through the production cycle—from initiation, manufacturing, assembly, and packaging to final dispatch. This ensures full transparency and control at every stage, including:

  • - On the production floor

    - In the manufacturing process / manufacturing for installation

    - During installation (if applicable)

    - In assembly and packaging

    - Upon final shipment

    This functionality allows for real-time status checks and access to order history, which is especially valuable for monitoring production workflows.

    Automatic currency rate updates. The internal portal updates the latest exchange rates once a day at 17:55, which is especially important for international partners and settlements.

 
 

Results

Thanks to the implementation of the internal portal developed by UAITLAB, Flexo Plate achieved a wide range of improvements:

Reduced order processing time, specifically:

- 20–30% reduction in production stages (from order intake to manufacturing start)

- 5% reduction at the packaging and logistics stage

- 10% reduction in client communication time (coordination, feedback, order changes)

- 30% faster partner interaction

Accounting optimization – elimination of manual errors and automation of reporting

Process transparency – employees and clients can track real-time order statuses

Improved cost control – full visibility of material usage

Automated partner collaboration – integrations and instant notifications accelerated and streamlined cooperation


Conclusions

The implementation of the internal portal marked a true transformation for Flexo Plate. It wasn’t just a technical upgrade, but a leap in business organization that significantly reshaped the team’s daily routine.

Managers no longer spend hours on endless approvals, clarifications, and document searches in messengers — everything is now structured, and order statuses are updated automatically. Clients can monitor the progress in their personal dashboards, while managers focus on truly critical tasks.

Accountants now work within a transparent system where data appears automatically. Fewer errors, less stress. The human factor, once a source of risk, has been minimized.

For top management, it introduced a new level of control: real-time reporting, analytics, inventory overview, financial tracking, and order status monitoring. Thanks to pre-production order verification, the number of manufacturing defects has decreased — directly impacting profitability.

The internal load on the team has eased, and material expenses have also gone down: the printing of T3 forms has been cut by nearly one-third, as document flow has shifted to digital.

The company is now preparing for the next stage — expanding the analytics module and automating warehouse management. This is a case where the tool adapted to the business, not the other way around.
