The Client
Client has a hosted eCommerce solution (Webstore) for all his front end sales.
However the system did not have an effective automated order fulfillment
and inventory management. Client was also looking for an efficient financial
and accounting system integrated with the Webstore. Client did not want
different systems, as it could lead to increased system maintenance and the
problem of interoperability.
Client envisioned a versatile, dynamic and an interactive portal for their
service space. Sigma Infosolutions proposed ERP system, the only solution
which has effective inventory management that integrates with better
finance and accounting management system. The system can achieve more
automation through little enhancement. With this vision, client approached

Challenges
product.
Client had a hard time managing billing operations. One such typical scenario
suggests item is discovered, "Not in stock after print/ collate generated".
This ideally means that the inventory is available in stock, whereas there is a
probability that the item may have been damaged. Also this will be realized
only before packing which will leave him with no solution.
Second scenario is when the requested item has been discontinued by the
supplier and next edition is readily available, and thus it becomes almost
impossible to meet buyers expectation.
Third scenario of a potential "uneditable order" would be an order where the
pick collate is generated, but before the item is shipped, the customer calls
to change the order.

Successes
We developed “On Hold” status as a solution for this problem with the
combination of manual process. Exceptional Order need to be moved to “On
Hold” state. The replacement item could be ordered and once it comes back
in stock, the item can be combined to the order in the holding area. For
second scenario, remove or replace that item from the order. In third
scenario, we can physically intercept the order before it leaves the
warehouse.
