As part of modernisation of IT support to the business operation of Hrvatski novčarski zavod, the first stage included laying the basis for an integral information system, the ERP system. In addition to the basic system framework (modules, users, access rights etc.), a module has been set with the central master data that serves for other modules as the metadata central repository. This allows integration of all other modules. At this stage modules for material accounting and production of registration plates were introduced.

Since HNZ has the ISO 9000 certificate, the entire system allows traceability through all modules and segments of use, which adds to business quality. Contract execution for integration of other important business segments into the system represents a logical step in integration of the entire business into a modern ERP system. Business segments which will be covered with appropriate modules are as follows:

• Retail– POS module (on-line and off-line), backup processing (with monitoring of the world commodity exchange for precious metals), retail dealerships, purchasing of precious metals
• Web shop – B2C module for sale of specific HNZ products (medals, gold coins, silver coins etc.) that is on-line connected to the product catalogue and the corresponding warehouse
• Accounting and finances – general ledger, automatic accounting entry module, invoices payable and receivable, payment transactions, cash register
• B2B module – end of implementation of the B2B module for internet ordering and order tracking, which was completed in the previous stage within the registration plate production to which it currently refers

At this stage integration of the most important business segments into a uniform ERP system will be completed and that will constitute a significant business and organisation progress of HNZ as a modern company.
