The multifaceted company offers services comprising selling products to the buyers at competitive prices, research, procuring goods and equipment on large scale, shipping, delivering and installing products as needed as needed by the customers.
The Challenge
Stylus was approached by IAP Worldwide Services to develop their Procurement and Tracking management system. Stylus sent a team of analysts on-site to study the different processes and applications that the company was currently using. This involved interviewing the different process owners, examining process documents and workflows as well as a study of the different legacy applications that were in use. The challenge here was that there was no single comprehensive application that addressed all their requirements. A number of business processes were not documented or formalized. Stylus had to document all the business processes and map it to the overall requirements.
The Solution
The solution “Global Procurement & Tracking System" is an enterprise class web-based application that facilitates IAP Worldwide Services associates to submit; track and monitor purchase orders and quotes, query and generate reports over the internet. The automated workflow ensures every IAPWWS associate to have perfect control on the functions that he/she executes. The system helps in avoiding delays in the PO/Quotation processes and increases overall productivity.
The Bottomline
Stylus successfully developed and implemented the "Global Procurement & Tracking System" linking it to email servers to send POs/RFQs (Plain text, PDF File, XLS, XML formats), and mail notifications to the concerned person in case of shipment delay, undelivered items etc. The system includes Supplier/Manufacturer performance analysis report and converts RFQ to PO automatically. Stylus developed the system to support optimal system performance and load requirements within the suggested infrastructure.
