How LBS Cloud helped a client fully replace ZUP with a modern system

When the client company turned to LBS Cloud, it had long felt that ZUP, once a reliable tool for payroll and HR management, no longer met the modern needs of the business. Salaries were calculated manually, HR spent hours double-checking data, and management constantly received delayed reports. What once worked had turned into a source of stress and extra work for everyone.
 
At first glance, it might have seemed easy to just stick with the old system: “Why rush? It still works.” But in practice, this turned out to be a trap. Every month, HR and accounting spent dozens of hours on routine tasks: collecting data from different sources, manual adjustments, endless corrections. Without integrated analytics, managers were making decisions “blindly.” And when you add security concerns to the picture — the Russian origin of ZUP posed real risks for critically important data.
 
LBS Cloud conducted an in-depth analysis of the client's business processes. It became clear that the issue was not the lack of individual functions, but the system's limitations in the context of modern business. The decision was made to implement a full replacement with an integrated ERP platform that could operate quickly, reliably, and conveniently for HR, accounting, and management.

The transition to the new system began in stages: first, process analysis and implementation, followed by the launch of the new system, team training, and the final go-live. LBS Cloud delivered a solution that automates all key processes.

The results became noticeable within the first month. Salaries, sick leaves, vacations, and reports were automated, routine operations were reduced by 20–25 hours per month, and calculation errors almost completely disappeared. The client's HR manager noted:

“Previously, we used to spend an entire day calculating salaries and verifying data. Now everything happens automatically, and I can focus on team development.”

Management noted that they now receive up-to-date data instantly and can make decisions without unnecessary delays. LBS Cloud provided not just a technical replacement — it helped transform business processes, making them transparent, fast, and efficient.

This case demonstrates that a modern integrated system truly transforms business operations, reduces stress for the team, and saves time previously spent on routine tasks.

Staying on ZUP may seem like a safe option, but in reality, it leads to higher costs and missed opportunities. Support for the old system is becoming more expensive, specialists who can work with it are increasingly scarce, and integrating it with modern services is practically impossible. In contrast, an ERP system allows you to:

1. fully automate HR and accounting processes,
2. access real-time analytics,
3. integrate with CRM and ERP systems, ensuring transparency across all departments,
4. store data securely and in compliance with Ukrainian legislation.
   
   

Of course, the transition requires investment and time for training. But these “drawbacks” are temporary. After going live, the company gains resource savings, time for strategic tasks, and minimized risk of errors.
LBS Cloud also offers a convenient transition model: deferred payment — you can start using the solution right away and pay small amounts monthly. Even medium or small businesses can afford the switch without interrupting operational activities.

A complete replacement of ZUP with an integrated ERP platform is a strategic decision that transforms business. LBS Cloud has demonstrated in practice that automation and integration reduce routine tasks, minimize errors, and allow HR, accounting, and management to focus on business growth.

Don’t postpone the upgrade. If your company is still using ZUP, it’s time to consider transforming your processes now.
