KT.Team developed a solution for the international logistics corporation FM Logistic that simplifies interactions between manufacturers and sellers with

the State Information System for Monitoring Goods Circulation (GIS MT).

The solution is called Paradigma and is deployed on

CROC Cloud, which provides a reliable platform for its operation. Paradigma enables full control over the entire life cycle of a labeled product, from production to withdrawal from circulation.

This increases process transparency and reduces the workload on warehouse staff, who no longer need to manually manage all transactions in GIS systems.

Background: a business opportunity in mandatory labeling

  1. "When the product labeling law took effect in 2019, we analyzed the market, learned that some companies were willing to outsource the routine work with codes, and saw a business opportunity in it.

  2. Initially we tried to enhance our existing systems with other contractors, but the first iteration failed.

  3. That was when we decided to turn to trusted partners - KT.Team and CROC

  4. cloud services that we had worked with on other projects.

  5. Within 5 months, we managed to build a solution prototype, and after 8 months we fully launched it. In the end, Paradigma enabled us to earn additional profit by selling the service to our partners," said

Scale of the task: 22 warehouses, 1,000 clients, tens of millions of codes

  1. Today, FM Logistic in

  2. CIS operates 22 warehouse complexes with a total area of over 816,000 sq. m., and its number of clients exceeds 1,000. Most FM Logistic partners carry products subject to labeling in their assortment.

  3. The goal of the project was to create an IT system that would run daily around the clock and process tens of millions of codes simultaneously.

  4. Moreover, each code goes through many operations that are recorded in the system: it is scanned every time during any operation within the warehouse, in wholesale or retail sales, and so on.

Infrastructure: CROC Cloud with a 99.95% SLA

  1. Working with such a volume of data requires significant computing power, so the system is built on

  2. CROC Cloud, which makes it possible to scale the platform quickly during peak loads. In addition, guaranteed SLA

  3. CROC Cloud - 99.95%, which means acceptable downtime of no more than 22 minutes per month.

  4. In the first year of operation alone, more than 25 million units of goods were labeled using Paradigma.

  5. Today the product is constantly evolving and expanding the range of product groups it supports, from perfumery to tires.

  6. Color highlights the product categories that Paradigma already handles.

The KT.Team approach: hundreds of hours at FM Logistic warehouses

"We understood how important it was to build a consistently reliable system, because every failure could cost FM Logistic and its partners both financial losses and legal liability. So we visited FM Logistic's warehouses many times, spent hundreds of hours consulting with staff — from warehouse workers to division heads — and studied the core process and dozens of nested business processes.

Ultimately, all these efforts allowed us to create a high-quality IT product," noted Anton Kopkin, CEO of KT.Team.

Solution architecture: modular services for flexible use

The system is built on a group of services, each responsible for a separate operation. This lets FM Logistic clients use the service either in full or in part. For example, a company labels its products itself, and if it wishes, it can upload the codes to Paradigma and entrust FM Logistic with further tracking of the products — from warehouse movements to withdrawal from circulation.

The role of CROC Cloud Services: reliability and fault tolerance

  1. “In this project, the CROC Cloud Services team is responsible for the service’s continuous availability, since the logistics business cannot tolerate downtime, as it directly affects the quality of services delivered to end customers.

  2. That is why we helped the client build cloud infrastructure that meets all requirements for system reliability and fault tolerance.

  3. In addition, it is the cloud platform that makes it possible to deploy such large-scale systems quickly and scale resources as needed," noted

  4. Sergey Zinkevich, Director of the CROC Cloud Services business unit.
