The Business Requirement
The current order management lifecycle that our customer is using is causing numerous challenges resulting in delays to process the received orders. They were looking for a modern solution to manage preflight order entry, B2B order linking, manage orders, order status for notes and assets, and integration with backend systems for timely notifications to attain more seamless and efficient business operations.
Our Solution and Support
Our team did an initial assessment and discovery session from which we have designed and built an order management system on AWS Cloud that enables multi-role user management with delegated administration.
