soft Xpansion’s Role in ASC Digitalisation
soft Xpansion participated as the developer of the Vulyk system – the software platform for automation of Administrative Service Centers, implemented within the EGOV4UKRAINE project. During the conference, the team presented the results of the previous implementation phases:
- Successful pilot of the Vulyk system at 10 ASCs across Ukraine
- Improved service quality – faster processing, transparent status tracking for citizens
- Standardised workflows – unified document management across all participating centers
- Scalability roadmap – plans for expanding to up to 600 high-performance ASCs in communities and small cities
Key Outcomes of the Event
The main highlight of the conference was the signing of Memoranda on cooperation with 122 communities from 24 oblasts of Ukraine – launching the next phase of ASC modernisation. This expansion represents a significant scale-up from the initial 10-center pilot to a nationwide programme.
For soft Xpansion, this event confirmed the company’s position as a trusted technology partner for government digitalisation at the national level – delivering solutions that serve millions of Ukrainian citizens.
