Findons
In order to meet customer orders and delivery dates, Findons need to
plan ahead in considerable detail. It takes many weeks for their
seedlings and cuttings to reach the state of maturity needed for
shipment. Further, they need to produce considerably more product than
they have orders for to allow for failures and top-up order
requirements.
Previously, their complex ordering and stock control
system was a manual process with orders and customer enquiries being
handled by telephone.
aXcessTen's brief was to automate the process
of handling subsequent orders from Findon's customers and manage the
stock automatically, in real time, online. This was achieved by the
creation of a very basic web front end from where their customers could
log-in to check prices and stock availability and place orders. Each
customer is recognised by a unique username and password, enabling the
system to be tailored to meet each individual customer's requirements.
Within
2 months of 'going live' the system had been used to trade more than
one million cuttings online, with associated costs savings that paid
for the development investment several times over!
