A Btech Agricultural Technologies, a Pancosma Group company that operates in the animal nutrition additives market, is the newest client of Signature messaging – Homine's solution for managing electronic documents, handling the issuance and receipt of commercial invoices. The implementation of the solution was coordinated by Homine and concluded in September. The project included support in integrating messaging with Btech's new ERP, with the incorporation of new processes.
Our consultants worked together with teams in France and Portugal, responsible for Btech's new ERP project, advising them on necessary adjustments to the system to comply with Brazilian legislation. “We provided full support on tax adaptations, registrations, rejection rules established by the Treasury Department and other important technical issues”, highlights Homine's Electronic Documents coordinator, Júlio César Correia.
One of the challenges, according to Correia, was to transmit the changes and specificities of the location in Brazil, that is, how tax calculations are made in the country, which is very different from Europe. “We conducted our communication with them in French and this turned out to be crucial in helping them understand the processes”, observe.
“The Homine team supported us throughout the project and especially in the go live, with quality support and professionals committed to delivering solutions to customers”, highlights Patrícia Quitzan, general manager of Btech in Brazil.
The Signature solution is used by thousands of companies in 12 countries in Latin America. Flexible, integrates with different ERPs and is capable of processing high transaction volumes. “Signature messaging is an agile and precise tool, and, through its portal, the team monitors the actions carried out in real time, which brings value to the end customer”, comments Patricia Quitzan.
According to the director of International Accounts at Homine, José Geraldo Garcia, from now on Btech will be able to concentrate in a single solution the entire process of issuing, validating and monitoring the status of its invoices with Sefaz (Department of Finance) . “The company has a global solution that will support it in its growth”, concludes.
In addition to the director and coordinator Júlio César Correia, the messaging implementation project had the participation of consultants Renan Itokazo and Diego Martins, both from Homine.
