Proposed Solution

Distribution Management System (DMS) an end-to-end business solution is designed and developed using Microsoft N-Tier COM/DCOM architecture and is a complete Microsoft technology based product.

Its key features include: Stocks, Requisition, Sales, HR, CRM, Administration and Reports. DMS Stock module covers the core functions required to upload the stock and stock allocation. Stock security is uploaded by HO through an excel sheet and it is transferred to different levels, subject to the C&Fs and BPs requirements. Picking delivery notes and DC number packing is confirmed and stock is transferred to selected person. DMS Requisition module covers the core functions required to make a request, view status of the request. DSR can make a request on behalf of his customer. He can make his own requisition and send to his BP. Same as BP can create his own request to C&F and C&F to HO. DMS Sales module covers the core functions required to sell Products & Services. BP allocates stock to his DSR and DSR to his customers as library stock. When order is confirmed then DSR updates the library stock status as sold out. The HR module is related with managing personal details and information of employees viz. C&Fs, BPs, DSRs and Customers.

The CRM Module manages activation and deactivation of customers. When BP or DSR is inactivated, their customers are relocated to other DSR. Most of the system fails because the administration of the system is either cumbersome or the option is not available. The admin module allows the organization create various masters. Apart from this it also allows to set task for various roles, it will remind the role of the pending works. That is why we call this as an expert system. DMS will always make sure that every asset is accounted for and there is no lose ends. The report module is the data mining option of the iPont. It puts the voluminous data in a meaning full manner. The various reports of the system cover the entire operational process. All reports can be generated date wise, moth wise as well as year wise. All are provided with print option so the user can take a print as well. If eBusiness has to become successful in an organization the solution has to address the customers security concern and the solution has to be truly secure, proper permissions are set on the server directory to allow access to files only for authorized users.
