Solution
Olen Business Consulting developed a PHP front-end to leveraging the RPG business logic enabling employees to access the payroll application via kiosks located around the resort.

Challenge
Although Aarrowcast is considered one of the most modern foundries in the world their business processes in dealing with outside vendors and suppliers were less than leading edge. The blizzard of procurement paperwork, lack of centralization, and limited vendor performance processes creates inefficiencies throughout the business. The challenge was to build a browser-based portal that would connect into the MRP system and permit vendors to access RFQ information automatically, without purchasing having to send out for bids.

Solution
Aarrowcast enlisted the services of NSC to develop what would become the Supplier Portal. NSC was up for the task, knowing that PHP products from Zend would be key to developing the most elegant, cost-effective solution in the shortest timeframe. The Zend-based portal now automates the entire RFQ, quote, purchase order, receiving, inventory management and payment process. |
