OBJECTIVE
The aim of the project was to meet the large volume of tax demands. These demands require a high processing capacity from Randon's ERP. The complexity of tax routines and the high tax burden required automation and optimization to reduce time, risks and errors in the area.
The Solution
In order to comply with SPED (Public Digital Bookkeeping System), Randon adopted the SAP TDF (Tax Declaration Framework) platform, developed by SAP, together with SOFICOM, Complementary Tax Solution, which has automation and control capabilities for the TDF platform.
Implementation
The project was made possible by Cast group, a national leader in end-to-end IT services and one of SAP's largest integration partners. In addition to deploying SAP TDF, Cast group added the platform's management service, in addition to its exclusive offer, SOFICOM - a tax solution complementary to SAP's ERP, developed to support market demands in relation to tax obligations.
Benefits
- Elimination of manual inclusion of around 830 tax forms in the ERP
- Reduction in the time it takes to generate the Accounting SPED (ECD), from 12 hours to just 30 minutes. In one year, the reduction is from 144 hours to just six hours
- SPED Contribuições and SPED Fiscal, which used to take 10 hours, are now down to around 10 minutes
- System compliance with tax authorities' rules and deadlines, resulting in fewer errors, greater control and reduced tax burdens
Future plans
Randon uses Cast group's support for all its tax demands and also relies on the company for other projects.
