Background and Challenge
BHC SHOES operates a footwear retail chain in Israel with a workforce that includes international employees. Managing a multi-location retail operation with foreign staff creates a specific type of administrative challenge — one that generates no direct revenue but demands consistent management attention.
The operational reality for BHC SHOES involved three overlapping challenges:
- Work visa and permit renewals: International staff require regular work permit renewals — each cycle involves documentation gathering, submission coordination, and timeline management that must be completed without disrupting store operations
- Internal and external accounting: Retail chains require both internal financial reporting and external compliance accounting; managing these across multiple service providers creates version mismatches and accountability gaps
- Fragmented vendor coordination: With compliance and HR tasks distributed across multiple providers, management spent significant time coordinating between advisors rather than focusing on retail operations
The core problem was too many vendors, too much coordination, and not enough reliability.
How Kerui Helped
Kerui became BHC SHOES’ single compliance partner — consolidating work visa management, full accounting, and administrative operations under one responsible team.
Work Visa and Renewal Processing for International Staff
- Managed the full work permit application and renewal cycle for BHC SHOES’ international employees
- Coordinated all documentation requirements: educational certificates, employment contracts, police clearance, and notarized identity materials
- Provided a single point of contact for all visa-related questions — removing the need for management to track or coordinate the process internally
Full Accounting Management — Internal and External
- Assumed responsibility for complete bookkeeping: recording daily transactions and maintaining clean financial records
- Prepared internal financial reports to support BHC SHOES’ operational decision-making
- Managed external compliance accounting: monthly tax filings, annual financial statements, and audit preparation
Administrative Operations Support
- Built an administrative infrastructure covering document management, regulatory filings, and vendor coordination
- Served as the central coordination point for all compliance-related activities, eliminating the inefficiency of managing multiple service relationships
Outcome
BHC SHOES consolidated its compliance and finance operations under a single, accountable partner — reducing administrative friction and recovering management time.
- Work visa renewals are now managed proactively, with no gaps in employee work authorization
- Internal and external accounting are handled by a single team, eliminating version mismatches and cross-vendor coordination delays
- Management no longer needs to monitor multiple service providers — one partner covers the full scope, responds consistently, and delivers on schedule
- Time savings from consolidation freed the BHC SHOES team to focus on product selection, store operations, and customer experience
