Overview
delaPlex designed and built a centralized control tower, integrating various supply chain areas in real time. The results provided the client with a holistic view of their supply chain activities, real-time data-driven insights, and more efficient operations.
Client Needs
The client needed a one-stop solution to monitor and manage supply chain activities more effectively from a centralized control tower. They wanted a dashboard that could identify supply chain vulnerabilities and bottlenecks in real-time, provide automated notification alerts, enhance operational efficiency, and improve decision-making capabilities across the network.
Project Challenges
The client had disparate, diverse systems, each having a different data format and protocols. These systems needed to be integrated to ensure seamless communication and data synchronization across the network. The system needed to collect and process data when designated supply chain events occurred and, in real-time, generate a notification to alert management.
The delaPlex Solution
delaPlex designed and built a centralized control tower that seamlessly integrated various parts of the supply chain, enabled data collection and processing in real-time, and provided access to various stages of the network to monitor data.
We employed software for generating alerts and notifications to inform users about network issues and milestones. Users would have the ability to analyze data and, if necessary, take action with confidence knowing their decisions are well-informed. We ensured software quality and validation of its functions with regular quality assurance (QA) and testing.
How We Did It
delaPlex collaborated with the client taking the following phased-in approach:
- Defined the project scope and identified key functionalities.
- Employed agile processes to build the centralized software.
- Initiated regular QA and testing to fix bugs and make adjustments to enhance the user experience.
Technologies
- Manual Testing: Smoke Testing | Functional Testing | Regression Testing | Cross-Browser Testing | Ad Hoc Testing
- API Testing: Swagger | Postman | Ready API
- Database Testing: Azure SQL Server | IoT Hub Data | Azure Data Factory
Results
- Enhanced real-time visibility into supply chain operations.
- Intelligent decision-making algorithms offered valuable insights.
- Prompt identification of vulnerabilities and bottlenecks across the supply chain network.
- Proactive alert notifications on network issues lead to improved decision-making.
- Streamlined operations resulted in cost reductions.
