Some of the realized projects

Promotions in the GDO: A success story in the management of promotions

by Dorit Gerstenfeld • 5 December 2022
The customer is a leader of the Italian large-scale retail trade who expressed the need to create an IT process that would allow the management of promotional initiatives starting from the definition of the draft of the promotional package up to the definition of the participating stores and the determination of the relative prices on sale. We have analyzed and designed the entire process based on the following phases: - Definition of the items/shops involved in the promotion - Definition of sale/transfer prices - Control and communication of the promotion - Creation of related commercial offers We have therefore created an application that implements the phases described above.

Assortment management on selling points: a success story in large scale retail

by eng • 11 September 2019
The definition of the assortment of a point of sale (the set of products that can be ordered and sold) is essential to obtain good sales results. It is a complex process based on different elements (breadth, depth, specialization), to be managed by calibrating between the orientation of the company and that of the customers. Management complexity also increases with the number of sales points, their territorial distribution and their lack of homogeneity. For a customer leader in the GDO with over 170 stores throughout Italy we have created a Java application that deals with the management of the entire process of the assortments of the store.

Suppliers multichannel management

by Dorit Gerstenfeld • 18 July 2019
The client is a leader among Italian large-scale retailers who had recently started upgrading its information system, transforming existing programs on the legacy system (AS / 400) into web applications. THE PRE-PROJECT SITUATION The constant exchange of significant data flows (Orders, Notes, Warehouse delivery confirmations, Invoices, stock level notices, etc.) with usual suppliers was managed with AS 400. These flows constitute a highly heterogeneous external world, created by diverse information systems and consisting of different types of communication, over diverse channels, on which no control or technological standard could be imposed . THE NEED The client's need was to be able to receive and send data streams to and from this outside world in the most varied forms and technologies , such as: EDI files (Electronic Data Interchange) exchanged via external providers; pdf documents or text files sent as e-mail attachments; formatted text files sent via FTP; other such as fax documents, direct writing on the database, etc. THE SOLUTION: THE MIDDLEWARE We created a layer of intermediate software (middleware ) between the client’s information system and the communication channels used by the external world , acting as an interface for data exchange . The middleware is crossed by all the heterogeneous data flows entering and leaving the company, normalizing them into a single standard format .
