PCBC

Convenient access to data, faster processes, and improved information flow within the team are just a few of the positive changes that PCBC has experienced since implementing AMODIT.

Introduction

Polskie Centrum Badań i Certyfikacji Spółka Akcyjna (PCBC S.A.) is a company with over sixty years of tradition. Established as a sole proprietorship of the State Treasury on October 31, 2002, it replaced the state organizational unit of the same name. Headquartered in Warsaw, with additional offices in Gdańsk and Piła, the company is a key player in certification and conformity assessment.

PCBC is a partner of prestigious international organizations, including the International Certification Network (IQNET), and its certificates are globally recognized.

The company operates in domestic, European, and global markets, with a significant portion of 2022 sales coming from non-EU countries.

PCBC’s Services Include:

  • Management system certification,
  • Product certification for compliance with applicable standards and quality marks,
  • Organic farming certification,
  • Product conformity assessment,
  • Operation of two accredited testing laboratories (the fertilizer and chemical products laboratory in Piła and the construction products laboratory in Gdańsk),
  • Training and personnel development in the areas of testing, certification, and conformity assessment.

Challenges in the Testing Industry

PCBC has long used IT systems to manage its operations, including the financial and accounting software Symfonia, the HR software E-pracownik, CRM, and IT systems dedicated to servicing individual business units. However, the company sought to optimize business processes.

Among the primary expectations were the improvement of: comprehensive management of accounting documentation (invoice circulation) at every organizational level, correspondence registration, delegation processes, and contract registration. Previously, all these processes were done on paper, leading to inefficiencies.

AMODIT: Solution for the Testing Industry

To address these challenges, PCBC implemented four key AMODIT modules:

  • Incoming and Outgoing Correspondence: Integrated with the eNadawca module of Poczta Polska.
  • Invoice Circulation: Integrated with the Symfonia system.
  • Contract Management.
  • Domestic and International Delegations.
We decided to implement AMODIT for its ability to provide transparent information flow for all users involved in the process. Our goal was to improve control over document circulation and reduce the time required to complete various tasks. Additionally, we valued the easier access to historical data and the comprehensive overview of each process’s history.
