Digitalisation of APCO
Problem
- Limited presence of APCO on digital and e-commerce platforms restricted market reach and customer access.
- Manual and partially digitised processes in procurement, accounting, payroll, and attendance reduced efficiency and transparency.
- Fragmented data across sales outlets and head office hindered real-time reporting and informed decision-making.
- Initial resistance from staff to adopt digital tools slowed organisational responsiveness and standardisation.
- Absence of integrated IT systems constrained scalability and effective monitoring of operations.
Solution

- Development and deployment of customised IT-enabled software solutions for procurement, accounting, attendance, and reporting.
- Integration of sales outlets and head office operations into a centralised digital system for uniform processes.
- Execution of service agreements with technology partners for facial attendance applications, data repository management, and software development.
- Engagement of dedicated personnel to monitor IT implementation and support organisational transition.
Outcomes
- Improved operational efficiency through automation of routine processes and streamlined workflows.
- Centralisation of organisational data enabling real-time reporting and improved accuracy across departments.
- Enhanced management decision-making supported by timely financial and operational analytics.
