ALROSA Switches to the PIX Platform
ALROSA has completed a large-scale transition to the domestic PIX Processes platform, marking a key milestone in the company’s digital transformation and import substitution strategy.
Enterprise-Level Transformation
The PIX platform serves as a tool for modeling and managing business processes. Its deployment became part of ALROSA’s broader import substitution and digital development strategy and enabled the creation of a unified process environment across all business units. Around 300 business processes across nine core functional areas – including finance, procurement, logistics, master data management, and training – have been documented within the system.
Processes are described in both AS IS and TO BE formats, allowing the company to analyze existing workflows and design future changes, thus laying the groundwork for optimization and automation.
In an industry context, the project demonstrates that Russian digital platforms are capable of addressing enterprise-level challenges in large-scale industrial operations. It also strengthens technological sovereignty in critical business processes and serves as a clear example of accelerated import substitution in the BPM (Business Process Management) domain – a management methodology based on modeling, automating, and optimizing workflows. Collectively, this enhances organizational efficiency and flexibility.
Impact and Market Significance
For ALROSA employees, the implementation ensures more transparent and structured process governance. For the broader market, it increases confidence in domestic BPM solutions and sends a clear signal to other large corporations considering a transition to Russian platforms.
The project was implemented in partnership with Pervy Bit Sportivnaya, with vendor oversight provided by PIX Robotics. This deployment forms a solid foundation for ALROSA’s continued process maturity, as the platform is set to become a core element of performance management in large-scale transformation initiatives.
The PIX ecosystem – spanning PIX Processes, PIX RPA, and PIX BI – enables the creation of an end-to-end digital model, from process description and optimization to automation and analytics.
Localization as a Strategic Course
The Russian BPM platform can credibly position itself as an export-ready product for enterprises across the CIS and other emerging markets, where import substitution remains a strategic priority. PIX Processes can also be deployed within government-backed digital maturity programs.
Meanwhile, experts anticipate the solution will be scaled across the entire ALROSA Group and related assets. Further integration with RPA tools, BI solutions, and ERP systems is also expected, alongside the formation of a corporate BPM center of excellence in Russia.
Of course, this trajectory involves certain risks, including limited industry-specific expertise and a shortage of certified BPM architects. In addition, effective long-term adoption requires strong technical support and a well-developed partner ecosystem.
Market analysis suggests that comparable large-scale industrial BPM transitions remain rare in Russia, which underscores the significance of the ALROSA case.
Growth Drivers
Starting March 1, 2026, amendments to Russia’s Law on Communications will introduce an official definition of data centers. The changes allow data centers to be built under concession and public-private partnership agreements while prohibiting the placement of cryptocurrency mining infrastructure within them.
In 2025, R-Vision, a Russian developer of digitalization and cybersecurity systems, announced that its R-Vision ITAM product had been added to the national software registry. Launched in April 2025, the solution expanded the company’s infrastructure management portfolio by combining asset accounting, license management, and IT project cost control within a single framework.
By the end of 2024, Russia had compiled a ranking of its 20 largest regional IT companies, further encouraging industrial-sector players to establish strategic partnerships.
Overall, the completion of ALROSA’s transition to PIX Processes represents a significant milestone in the digital transformation of one of Russia’s leading mining companies. The establishment of a unified process registry creates a foundation for automation, robotics, and advanced analytics.
The successful case strengthens PIX’s position in the industrial segment and its integration with adjacent modules, including RPA, BI, and AIOps. It also creates conditions for growing interest in the platform across CIS countries, where industrial digitalization remains a top priority.
