Effective Implementation of ERP for PDMSh
The implementation of the ERP system has not only automated resource accounting for PDMSh but also enhanced transparency and manageability of operations. By adapting the system to complex logistics conditions and integrating it with volunteer projects, PDMSh can operate more effectively in wartime conditions and ensure more accurate resource allocation, while optimizing its activities and providing medical care at the front with minimal loss of resources and time.
