WorkFlow.Plus HTML

Product Distribution
Operational Centre Systems
The WorkFlow.Plus system was de-
signed to be the integrated system for
all sales activities and inventory opera-
tions of an enterprise.
Integrating sales activities through the
use of business lines which support the
necessary interface for trade, web, mail
order catalog and retail sales.
Integrating inventory logistics, the flow
and fulfillment of orders through the use
of a facility, warehouse and planned
routing organization.
Working with such companies as Dylex
(Biway, NLS, Fairweather), Games
Workshop, Trisi Sales, GolfTown, Your
Expression we learned a great deal
about retail, sales, logistics and making
it all work together. This system was
our way of making a home for all that
experience and a place to integrate our
legacy technology into a substantially
more modern system and database.
We also wanted to achieve some new
things such as a shared repository for
images and digital media that we could
associate with business elements like
items and transactions. We called that
Image++.
We also wanted a way to speed up the
supply process using a more intelligent
construct than min/max logic and we
did that with a three stage automated
replenishment model which can source
from supply and supplier encompass-
ing basic demand and the fluctuation of
that demand over time.
The WorkFlow.Plus system exists to
automate the product development and
distribution activities of a business with-
in a single system.
At the heart of the system is a relational
database repository surrounded by
both web and desktop applications and
special attention to performance with a
flexible component architecture which
could be placed at the right location to
support performance for small and
large companies that have one or many
locations and reduce the impact of
database licensing costs.
The merchandise database provides for
many elegant and straight forward ways
to describe and present the product.
The Image++ component provides a
digital media library with active objects
such as a product image and rich text
description that are equally useful on
the desktop and on a web site.
Image++ also provides the ability to
store any digital media file, such as
drawing files, product specification and
instruction documents, streaming data
media such as video and sound and
any other computer generated file. A
system publishing control allows for
items to be marked as public or remain
private to the business, which also
controls their availability at the web site
level.
A hierarchical classification system with
division, department, category and
class of product provides the initial
system catalog structure for a basic or
complex search and grouping of items
through other elements such as the use
of customized groups or strategic units
of a business.
EDI was important to integrate with the
system, although we looked to the
market for mapping software to work
with, we integrated the workflow and
standards into the system and it can
work with any mapping software you
choose.
Sales from channels are integrated into
a common order processing workflow
that streams into the order fulfillment
process (EDI, Web, Mail Order, Trade
orders) which is also combined with the
retail chain store fulfillment process
because we envisioned that happening
at the same facility if that was needed.
We developed an inventory transfer
process to manage retail chain store
replenishments from a central inventory
distribution so that order fulfillment
could be managed at the facility with a
view of all requirements.
EDI orders and other multiple destina-
tion and “ship to distribution centre”
requirements are supported via a
product and destination subset to the
standard order line level for greater
control of fulfillment rates. So our orders
can manage multiple ship to breakouts
of line items.
This approach also holds true in other
areas of the system such as orders for
purchase and replenishment/transfer
orders. A unique transaction number
management organization uses both a
master transaction number and a child
transaction number, in order to give the
operational level unique data level while
holding the transaction together at the
higher management level.
We envisioned different businesses and
their unique models of planning and
logistics to put our system together. We
put a substantial amount of thought
into WorkFlow.Plus (AOC) from what we
learned working in the market space
since 1990.

WORKFLOW.PLUS
TheOrder
We wanted to be able to feed orders into the
system in a variety of ways in order to manage
different types of businesses. This meant we
needed to create some essential elements that
could be reused but plugged into a different
facade or user interface that could do different
things based on where the sale was happening
and what the interaction with the customer was.
We created a trade order entry interface, a retail
interface and a web based interface. The web
interface was created envisioning not solely the
internal sales person or entry staff but also the
customer themselves and perhaps a third party
agent working in a remote geography.
We broke out some essential pieces that could
be reused in each of those and put some
thought into how they could be useful. So we
came up Image++ which could manage im-
ages and digital media associated with the
product items and Product Explorer which
could provide different ways of finding and
grouping items as well as different ways of ap-
plying order quantities to them as you found
them to bring more than one item back into
your order entry process.
We also wanted to have a way to reference
back to a catalog which a business may send
out so we created a catalog view that could do
that.
We also looked to create a common data
stream so that we could look at orders coming
from different interfaces on any interface that
was being used. So we organized it with a Line
of Business and store structure that would be
associated with every order in the system. We
took a harmonic approach across the entry
process so that when the orders appeared
elsewhere you wouldn’t need to change what
you were using to see them.
The retail model required a desktop interface
moulded for the scanner based checkout of
product and quick receipt scenario. The ability
to run on equipment platforms that are specific
to the retailer such as IBM Point of Sale and
other PC based equipment is an important
element to this environment.
We looked to a retail interface that would be as
responsive to scanning as it was to keying and
we wanted a fast keying environment that could
also work well with a touch screen so we build
that interface with those things in mind.
EDI was integrated as a feed to the ordering
process and was integrated into the system that
altered the way those orders were controlled but
gave them a common view along with other
orders in the overall system. With EDI there was
a preamble requirement to ensure the accuracy
of the information as well as the additional work
requirements that came with those orders such
as ticketing, packaging and shipment container
labeling requirements associated with EDI.
Sales and inventory are integrated into the
WorkFlow.Plus system through a client/line of
business and store/facility architecture that
organizes remote stores into a chain structured
architecture. This allowed us to manage the
transfer of goods from location to location in a
very stream lined and straight forward way, by
using transfer orders that had a source and
destination routing built in. Line and store in and
Line and store out. Line being the pre-defined
Line of Business of the Enterprise.
We used transfer orders not only as a way to
move goods from one retail store to another but
also as the primary method of moving inventory
from a distribution centre to chain stores while
keeping the data in the system harmonic across
the flow of all goods.
Vendor orders and transfer orders we done in a
unified effort to be able to manage the different
sources of goods and also as the direct output
of our automated replenishment process which
created these orders without keying but from
planned models. We used a common interface
to drive this that was very much like our trade
order interface.
All orders allow for a on or many destination
breakout of the line items. Thus supporting
distribution of items in a single order entry view
rather than many separate orders.
Not only does this architecture provide for a
logical approach to a business using our system
across all of its operations but it really gave us a
lot of flexibility to work in different areas and
integrate it with other systems. Integration with
other systems has provided many benefits to
doing business for our company and is also very
beneficial for staged implementation at a head
office, Distribution Centre or the store level.

OfOperations
When we envisioned the warehouse, inventory
management and logistics of AOC we wanted
the ability to manage multiple physical locations
and run various warehousing functions within
that facility which could serve one company or
many companies.
We wanted it to be useful not only to companies
that supported a single business but also to the
logistics company that serviced many clients
and billed for their services.
Our work with Dylex/Biway and their logistics
division NLS (National Logistics Services) gave
us some insight in how to achieve that business
model.
The operational centre system is provided at a
facility level that can be isolated to a particular
enterprise/client or viewed at the facility level
that serves more than one enterprise/client.
What that really means is that you can store
product that belongs to many businesses in a
facility and utilize that space more effectively
rather than having to allocate blocks and waste
space which is costly.
An assignment based routing structure that can
bind customers and customer locations and the
facilities of the business to carriers and a class
of carrier service provides for flow throughs that
makes sense from the start of a transaction.
Operational Centre functions include the picking
and allocation of orders, receiving, inventory
counting and adjustment, product and shipment
labeling (industry accepted standard MH10,
etc.), quality control checkout(s) for EDI and
where required by company policy, pick face
definition and automated replenishment.
Procurement and fulfillment logistics have been
designed as a rule based process that controls
the inbound and out-bound movement of goods
through a facility.
Facilities (physical locations) are divided into
zones and subsequently locations which can be
defined as simple floor locations to complex
high bay racking or pick faces along with the
prioritization of those physical locations.
We wanted an automated and very flexible
approach for the management of the flow of
goods and the effort to move them. This was
done to facilitate circumstances where issues
such as product location, isolation, temperature,
and other such important business concerns
could be dealt with effectively and at the client/
enterprise, facility/warehouse, routing code and
product level.
The system promotes automated replenishment
of product through a well defined and integrated
module that is accessible at the product basis
or product group basis. We call each product
grouping and its replenishment structure “a
model”.
Models, take a product group (grouped by any
means) and define the replenishment scheme
of that product based on rudimentary min and
max, basic demand element and the ability to
fluctuate that demand over a period of time. The
time a model uses is also flexible, days, weeks,
months. We had to cast those definitions into
the model in order to make sense of what the
numbers mean, we put the logic smarts in the
system to be able to run the process at any
frequency, so that we could plan and forecast at
a monthly level but run at any time, daily, twice a
week, and so on.
So if you make or sell snow blowers and lawn
mowers you could have an annual plan and run
it when you need to know what to do for the
next cycle, whatever that cycle is in a single
model or segment it into two models or repeat
the process for different export continents which
have seasonal variances.
We wanted WorkFlow.Plus to be a useful sys-
tem for product fabricators, the logistics
provider, wholesaler and retailer. Automating the
product development and product distribution
of your enterprise, designed to paint the portrait
of the way you want your business to work.

Symbology through the use of standards and
barcodes enables the automation of flows and
information capture when done properly and
with a well thought out scheme.
The basic ability to associate product with the
ticketing barcode requirement exists at the base
item definition level with UPC/EAN/ISBN and
other standard code definition and production
capabilities at normal locations in the definition
and workflow areas of the system.
We developed the system to allow you to define
and modify your ticketing and container labeling
within the system.

! than pallet, 3, undefined container, 4,
! internally defines, 5-9 future
0012345! Manufacturer/Company ID
3218730 Unique Transaction Number

We designed and developed all of our forms to
use barcodes to enable you to easily integrate
them into your workflow and the data capture
points of your business. All forms and reports
also use a standard and open method for an
ease of enhancement.
We integrated the EDI ticketing requirements of
your customers as well, so that when you
process their orders you can pass through the
important information that came in with their
order.
When done in a logical and workflow oriented
fashion your outbound documents can be as
easily injected back into your business with a
document imaging and management solution
such as our PatchWork.Plus web and workflow
system or shIP2.com for transportation and
logistics or any third party imaging system.
You can work the rule and work the exceptions
or automated the rule and work the exceptions
and we prefer the later. So when we put the final
touches down on shIP2 we wanted to stream-
line the document flow by not only creating the
important transaction barcode on documents
but include the document type and a company
designation.
CCB-324870-9, CCP-324870-9 using a short
company code and standard check digit trans-
action code. Using SSC-18 would provide for
long encoding which could also be used, in
either case the purpose is to distinguish a code
that is a) belonging to the company and b) the
document type for automated image to carriage
transaction association. Bill of Lading and Proof
of delivery in the above two examples!
Capturing information such as signature and
relevant performance and cost information can
be accomplished though predictive base line
data along with before and after decision boxes
to derive delivery date, time, wait time, and
other relative information with signature area for
a streamlined workflow that overlaps with
source documents such as BOL, POD, Dock
Control and other workflow documents in use at
your enterprise.
Our PatchWork.Plus system creates service
flows using case numbers, we called them that
in an effort to integrate them into your way of
doing business. Work Order, Route Sheet, Ser-
vice Call, Docket, Case File, whatever the case,
to provide an additional pillar in the billing sup-
port function of your enterprise.
Art of Commerce™ forms, Sales Order, Transfer
Order, Purchase Order, Pick Sheet, Packing
Slip, Bill of Lading, Invoice, all utilize a barcode
in this fashion to promote the workflow of your
business the way you want it to work.

AndLogical
We wanted the facility interface of the AOC
system to provide for an operational look and
feel that could service the logistics operations
for a business that either serviced itself or one
that serviced many clients.
Our design model started that way because we
already had the experience of what it was like to
work with a third party service provider that
cared about maximizing the use of space and
integrating workflow and shipment operations.
This included operations like receiving, physical
storage, quality control, inventory counting,
order picking, shipment routing, consolidation
and labeling and all of the important business
documentation along the way. Outbound EDI
and standards are also included therein.
The interface is specifically for the facility and
operations service model through a sign on and
desktop that fits a multiple client service centre
environment and provides the ability to manage
people more effectively.
Logistics provider facilities can house multiple
logical facilities for their clients through a virtual
warehouse and service routing interface. This
makes the centre a more cohesive unit with a
streamlined operation while keeping the client
based inventory and workflow separate for
reporting and billing purposes.
The systems remote reporting and automated
label design and production environment eases
the flow of outputs at the facility or multiple
facility level by allowing for reporting and label
definitions at the client level to be intermixed at
the operational service level so that resources
can be more focused with the workflow rather
than the nuances of each client relationship the
business provides service to.
People do care of course about service to a
client, we just wanted to help them do that while
attempting to streamline their work.
Such an environment is well suited to the third
party service provider, as well as remote facilities
of a larger company that is self serving.
Outcomes
Integrate the day to day and web delivery
system merchandising activities into a single
streaming management effort.
Organize your product development docu-
ment and digital media into a centralized and
accessible database with a powerful global

OfMice
The application architecture provides for a ser-
vice and digital delivery media and information
library development, presentation, procurement,
fulfillment and work flow that has been put to-
gether to form a simple step by step process in
a high demand and transaction based environ-
ment that permits the use of the system for
enterprises with a single or many locations.
The database is client/server architecture devel-
oped in a Microsoft
SQL Server environment
and is also adaptable to other database plat-
forms such as Oracle and other relational data-
base platforms.
The desktop application is Microsoft
Windows
in
a Visual Basic and .NET development environ-
ment. The web applications are also .NET and
function across a the full spectrum of browser
applications.
Reports and Forms are provided in both a web
and desktop delivery architecture. Additional
report and form objects can be developed and
integrated into the system as required.
The operating environment requires a server
based architecture that can house a database
and internet information server service or a
multiple server based architecture that seg-
ments the database from the web server(s).
andPersons
The system supports a component object mod-
el interface that allows for server banks and
multiple location service and server architec-
tures.
The financial environment presently supports a
batch driven collection and export process that
provides Accounts Receivable, Accounts
Payable and General Ledger transactions in a
batch. The environment has been implemented
in an ACCPAC Accounting interface and can be
easily geared to other accounting applications
using this process.
The EDI interface is presently supported with an
Inovis
EDI mapping and communications
interface, selected for price point, flexibility and
user base, it provides a suitable platform for the
more than one EDI trading partner environment.
EDI mapping for other platforms can also be
supported with additional development efforts.
Industry standard bar code generation is built in
to the system with support for present and
future technologies through a simple embedded
format code interface designed into the system.
The system has been designed with Zebra, TEC
and Monarch printing platform technologies with
multiple format support at the product, cus-
tomer and customer/shipment carrier levels in
an automated workflow environment.
