If your Enterprise Applications are not automated you cannot even determine if your Systems received your transactions and data-entered accurately. You have no confidence that they will pick-pack-ship the right product or quantity.

If your system relationships are not integrated, you cannot determine if, when and to what extent your suppliers will be able to fill your orders

When your Enterprise applications are collaborative, you will automatically be able to reduce pending receivables, decrease over-due Invoices, reduce days of inventory, reduce returns and more. Business rules, established between you and the customer/supplier, will run 98% of the routine business. 2% of exceptions will be handled manually

Personalization


TECHNOLOGY

Robust Framework Using J2EE Struts with Oracle 10G as back end used. Flexible to integrate with any Legacy systems. Data migration is possible from any system since we have strong control over the database structures and scalability

Design Patterns like Singleton, MVC, Command, DAO Pattern

etc., are used.

SERVICES Modules can be made flexible and configurable

to have inputs and outputs with Single Sign ON. Some of the business functionalities like Receivable reports or load data can be provided as a web service or APIs

METHODOLOGY Software is built over standard architecture and framework

hence scalability is not a problem. Iterative method can be used for any change or customization. The change will be converted into logical model and then can be converted in physical model

Technology


Limited visibility into the booking,loading and pricing process with lot of jumbled excel sheets

An error-prone 10-15 voyages and scheduling process consisting of 3,000+ weekly quotes/invoice/booking requests

A payment recievables tracking that often did not work and overall poor quality data caused massive inefficiencies to Accounts.

Combined , these factors led to flow bottlenecks, lower Cash turns and increasing trading partner frustration.

Accessibility


Portal Security addresses three components:

Authentication• Validates that a person using the system is who they claim to be. Linked to “single sign-on”

Entitlement• Determining the information and applications a user is permitted to access - - linked to

personalization.

Infrastructure• The technology and tools that enable the portal to process entitlements and authenticate

users.
