Key Challenges
The client wished to extend their existing logistics software and system for requesting, receiving, supplying and maintaining details of materiel to be capable of utilising auto ID (barcode) technology. The project needed to achieve two way integration with an existing host logistics database and meet a variety of security standards. Existing business processes had been developed over many years, with significant variations between departments which required a careful approach to standardisation and minimise their training overhead. The project involved a number of partners, collaborating with a Prime Contractor and multiple technical teams across various companies.
