ToDo has recently become an official member of the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers (UAFM), the largest specialized community that unites Ukrainian furniture companies. The organization has been operating since 2001, unites more than 330 members and aims to develop the furniture industry through cooperation, exchange of experience and support for innovation.
Why does ToDo need a membership in the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers?
UAFM membership gives us the opportunity to better understand the needs of the industry:
- communicate directly with furniture companies
- learn about their challenges
- Offer solutions that really work
We have already had experience of participating in the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers through the iT.Artel brand, and now we continue this vector of development under the name ToDo - as an integrator of Odoo ERP solutions.
A small Q&A about the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers from Alexey Bardakov
We asked a few questions to our founder and director, Oleksiy Bardakov. They may be of interest to both the UAFM community and readers who are far from furniture, but follow our news.
– Why is it important to be part of a professional association in general?
First, it is a circle of like-minded people. Each of us has a social circle, which consists of many people with different interests, but it often happens that this circle does not include people who are engaged in activities similar to yours.
This leads to the fact that you simply have no one to discuss the work issues you encounter in the process of your professional activities with. That is why I joined the association, because I am sure that I will be able to find worthy like-minded people among the members of the UAM.
Another advantage is that you have the opportunity to see how the business community you belong to lives. You can also hear answers to your questions from industry experts, get useful insights, and learn a lot of other interesting information. In short, it is a large community that is extremely useful to be a part of.
– What are the advantages of UAM?
This is an all-Ukrainian association that unites many domestic manufacturers engaged in a common cause - they make the Ukrainian furniture business better and popularize it on the Western market.
In addition, the union also includes representatives of companies from other industries, such as: marketing, promotion, automation, etc., who qualitatively strengthen furniture manufacturers by offering them their services. In this way, they help the business grow.
This is a mutually beneficial partnership, where one company provides its services, and the other – becomes better when gets themIn the end, everyone wins and that's really cool.
– What values have you already gained by becoming part of the association?
Thanks to membership in the association, we have the opportunity to present our services to the audience of UAM member companies. This is exactly the value that I can already emphasize at this stage of membership.
We strive to solve real, not fictional, cases and pains of furniture makers, and the most effective way is to learn about these problems directly from them. We want to know what problems they face now furniture manufacturers, because this way we will be able to apply our experience and expertise with maximum efficiency and offer specific solutions to certain problems.
– Why, it would seem, does your company not engage in furniture production, but decided to become part of this community?
We have a clear vision of how to help Ukrainian furniture manufacturers become better and strengthen their positions in the market in such difficult and unstable times. We want to help domestic businesses grow - this is the goal of our joining the association.
– How exactly can your IT company be useful to UAM and its members?
We are engaged in the automation and optimization of business processes, in particular with the help of Belgian Odoo ERP systemsWe learn how to switch from sanctioned software such as 1C, BAS to the latest European-style software.
We have implemented this product for many of our customers and continue to implement it in our company. We see a great future for this system in Ukraine, so we invite you to join the circle of those who have already implemented this system in their company!
