After an intense competition, we now have the champions in both the System/Process category and the Equipment/Machine category, as follows:
System / Process Category Awards consist of five prizes as follows:
The winner award goes to “AssetProNex,” a Finance & Accounting department project. This innovation enables real-time asset verification using an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system that can count up to 1,000 items. This solution effectively addresses the challenge of managing over 300,000 assets at IMPACT, significantly improving speed and efficiency in the counting process.
The first runner-up award goes to the “Online Fabric and Equipment Issuance System,” a project by the Operations department. This innovation streamlines the issuance process by replacing the old paper-based system with an online platform, improving document and data management efficiency while accelerating operations. Additionally, the system features online stock functions that enable real-time inventory tracking and a catalog of fabric types and equipment options, making it easier to select the appropriate items.
The 2nd runner-up award goes to “IMPACT Hire Hub”, a project by the Corporate Human Resources department. This online platform streamlines the recruitment process, making it faster and more efficient. It supports every process step, from manpower requests by the relevant department and job postings by HR to candidates applying through the system. Additionally, IMPACT Hire Hub features an automatic resume creation tool, enabling the screening and sorting of candidates based on job suitability, scheduling interviews, and managing the hiring process.
The 3rd runner-up award goes to the “Digital name card, Smart Your Life”, a project by the Procurement team. This innovation replaces traditional paper business cards, which are costly and easily lost, with a digital business card. By using mobile phones as a connection medium, this solution enhances communication, strengthens brand building, and accelerates business operations. Additionally, it increases sales opportunities by offering promotions and public information to attract customers and strengthen business relationships effectively.
The Popular Vote award goes to “Virtual Wedding”, a project by the Operation team. This innovation helps solve problems for clients who want to hold a wedding but lack the time to plan one.
