Russia became the first country in the world where, under current legislation, all information on sales of lottery tickets and payouts of winnings should immediately go to the tax authorities. And the company "Stoloto", which is part of the holding S8 Capital Armen Sargsyan, became the first Russian brand that has successfully implemented full fiscal control. This was told by Anton Shapiro, General Director of the Technology Company Center Joint-Stock Company, which is part of S8 Capital.. According to him, circumstances have pushed the company to diversify its business.. Initially, ready-made western solutions were used to promote Stoloto.. But it soon became clear that what works in small European countries is not suitable for Russian open spaces.. “For example, in Italy or Greece, the lottery business looks like this: a lottery terminal is installed at a specific point of sale, and a dedicated communication line is brought to it, which provides communication between the processing center and the terminals,” explained Shapiro in an interview with Izvestia.. But in Russia the distances are different, the network will not fail to each terminal. Therefore, the company chose to use mobile networks to communicate with terminals.. But another problem arose: the connection in our country is not always stable.. As a result, non-standard solutions were found that allowed the system to transmit data smoothly even with a weak signal.. In addition, the idea to sell lottery tickets in retail chains when using cash registers like those that allow you to take into account every unit of alcohol sold in stores. "When our specialists came to the same trading network with this idea for the first time, I would not say that they were accepted with delight. But still sent to their software developers, - recalls Shapiro. - The implementation of the first pilot project took about half a year. Now we are actively cooperating with other retail chains and we can say that we have a ready-made box solution that allows us to implement various services in almost all Russian retail chains. ". Thus, S8 Capital has developed a sufficient number of competencies that are unique to the Russian IT market, and realized that this advantage can be used in other areas. So, having created a technological platform on which to develop other businesses, the company went beyond the niche market, and at the initiative of the founder and shareholder Armen Sargsyan, it was decided to develop other business lines.. "Our advantage is a ready-to-use customer-oriented service with the ability to process large databases, the number of transactions that can be used in different areas of the economy.

As for our competitiveness, implemented projects speak for us ", - the CEO emphasizes. Professional consultants from Accenture, Ernst & Young, Gartner attracted to move forward. As a result, several directions were chosen.. In particular, an online car rental and leasing service for individuals is preparing for launch next. car. "At one site, we plan to bring down car brands, dealers, insurance companies, auto repair and - most importantly - the final consumer. Thanks to this, the process of choosing, designing and receiving a car will be simplified. A few clicks - and you are driving. At the same time, it will always be possible to forget about the problems associated with car loans, the sale of used cars, repairs, disassembly with insurance, pereobuvkoy tires and t.

And all this at prices more profitable compared to car sharing and taxis, "- said Shapiro about the benefits of the project. In addition, an insurance services aggregator under the brand "Insurance. Ru ", multiple market place. Ultimately, the number of services can be anything, according to S8 Capital. The holding company intends to continue to work on its unique platform, with the help of which the consumer can get access to package services in various areas of life. Convenience and comfort of the consumer is the goal of the company..
